In 2004 Mike and I decided to take a trip to the JMK
Quarter Horse Dispersal Sale. It
was really a chance to get away and for me to look at some great
broodmares. Lanis Noble decided
to meet us there and we had a wonderful time looking at mares.
Lanis was interested in buying a mare as we had just
entered our
Exceptionist Partnership. He wasn’t having any luck and Mike and
I were planning to leave to drive back to
Wisconsin
when Karen Sartain showed up. Of
course I had to stay and visit with her and then one thing led to
another. Lanis told me that
if we were going to promote Exceptionist , we
needed to buy the best mare possible to
breed to him. In my
opinion, that mare was Patty. She
is sired by Obvious Prophet and out of a daughter of Ima
Cool Skip. Besides being
gorgeous, she was also in foal to Kid Clu with frozen semen.
I sat next to Lanis and he said why don’t we partner and
buy the mare. I never
dreamed that I would spend
so much money on a mare and to be honest, I hated to tell Mike who
was sitting in the truck ready to leave, that I had done it.
He didn’t believe me at first but with Karen and Lanis
telling him it had happened, I guess there was nothing he could do
about it. Patty had the
most gorgeous filly last year from the Kid Clu breeding.
We named her Polly and if she wouldn’t have broken her
leg, she would have paid for the mare.
I am proud that Lanis and I own this mare and I look
forward to many gorgeous babies out of her.
Besides everything else, she is the sweetest mare you have
ever been around.
Patty has been sold. Congratulations
to Tom and Josephine Flory on the purchase of this outstanding
mare.
