Baby Ruth was given as a weanling to our youngest son by Barbra Johnson. When we went to register her, it was discovered that Baby Ruth’s mother had accidentally been missed and not registered. We would have needed to register her mother first. At the time, we decided to not financially pursue getting her registered. We have several other unregistered grade horses that ride great and are awesome individuals and set out to make her another one of those. She was shown in 4-H as a yearling and as a 2-year-old in colt to maturity classes and was started under saddle as a 3-year-old. She is an energetic mare and has a fast walk. Unfortunately, she split about a third of a front hoof off and required rest and re-growth time through most of her 4-year-old year. Spring of 2008 when we got her in to use her, it seemed that she did not handle hard use and was still favoring that foot.

Since she belongs to our son, we wanted to keep her around. She has been helping babysit the yearlings and two year olds and sets a good example by being caught first and then used as the decoy to calm the rest when we first come to the pasture. She has a beautiful dun color with very black points and lots of dun factoring. Take a good look at her pictures. Her bloodlines are accurate even without the papers to prove it. Warren’s 73 year old dad is riding a four year old brother (the palomino saddle gelding in several pictures on this site) by her same sire.   Her sire, Docs Monkey Jay comes from the Grantier Ranch at Winnett, Montana. See their link on our links page. He goes back to Dry Doc, Clarks Doc Bar, Lady Bugs Moon and Mujer Tacky Jay. On her bottom side please note Alamitos Bar and Showdown Rick. 

This is the perfect chance to get a foundation bred foal with cow, looks and history at a very discounted price. We will be looking for buyers willing help us prove out her foals. You are welcome to come and take a look at her. Taz, her 2009 dun filly by JK Jay Reed is in Tennessee and now registered with IBHA and will be showing in that and in ARHA. Baby Ruth foaled Yogi, a nice, big stud colt on 5-16-10 also by JK Jay Reed and she will be bred back to him again for 2011.
