In 1996 I had been looking for a good mare and
would ask everyone who called if they knew of any. One of
the people I asked was Larry Johnston who is the fly system
distributor in Iowa. He told me that in his travels he had
seen a really nice mare at Bernard Fairchilds but he didn't know
if she was for sale. I called and arranged for Mike and I
to drive to Iowa to see her. I remember looking in the stall and
immediately "falling in love" This mare has the
prettiest head, the shortest, strongest back and the most
beautiful hip. I could hardly control my enthusiasm. She
belonged to Arlene, Bernard's wife and she agreed to sell her to
me. Bernard told me her nickname was PDS and that stood
for Pretty Darn Special. I love the way this mare is bred
being by a son of Dandy Seeker and out of a daughter of
Dandy Seeker and being NN certainly doesn't hurt her.
She has a few halter points but her main worth has been as a
broodmare. Her offspring have her size and the huge hip and
gorgeous back along with pretty heads. She has crossed extremely
well with Kids Classic Style. Western Sundown, the young
palomino World Champion owned by Sartain Equine Management is
out of her and we still have Janie who is the twin embryo
to Western Sundown.
