Meet the horses we love at Blazin’ Saddles!

Olenas Smokin Lynx “Sky” is a bay,registered quarter horse mare that was foaled in 2000.

Sky is an awesome mare; breeding as well as performance. She has a lot of Doc Bar breeding and is a granddaughter of Docs Lynx and Doc Olena. She is a pretty little mare with a gorgeous head. She is very athletic and has won many Champion and Reserved Champion awards gaming at local horse shows. She is a very fun mare to ride and floats when she moves.

I’ve owned Sky since she was a yearling and she will turn 25 on March 4th, 2025.  She has taught me so much and I still learn from her every time I ride her.  She is an incredible mare and I’m blessed to have owned her for almost 24 years.

Sky is now semi retired and competes at a few local shows and 4H with Jace.  She is used as a lesson horse for a few of our gentle riders.  She works well for riders who are very calm who can keep her calm.

Sky has produced five very athletic foals for us.  We would love to get in touch with her offspring again one day!

MACSFLEETOFLIGHTENING “Handy” is a 2005 brown and white tobiano paint gelding.

Handy was donated by our friend, Dorothy, and has been the biggest blessing.  He is our go to guy for all of our little beginners and first time riders.  He has that smooth western pleasure trot and lope and is so fun to ride.  Everyone falls in love with Handy!

MH DO IT WITH DYNO “Pedro” is a 2001 bay gelding out of Little Dyno x Do It Dually.

BSR Smokin Sunshine “Shine” 2018 palomino mare out of TW Hickory San Sport x Sun Jet Lady.

Shine is the sweetest mare and broke for some of our more experienced riders.  She is bred to work and is a powerful horse. Shine will be for sale in August of 2026 after we wean her 2026 foal.

Shine’s 2024 foal, BSR Steels Smokin Sunny.

Docs Shady Lady “Shady” 2014 buckskin mare out of TW Hickory San Sport x Sun Jet Lady.

Shady is a full sister to Shine.  We sold her as a three-year-old and were able to purchase her back as a seven year old.  Josh always regretted selling her, so we were very blessed to be able to get her back.  She has the same sweet temperament as Shine and we are thankful to have her back.

Shady gave birth to twin foals on April 27, 2025.  See the Ranch News link for the full story on these little miracles.  BSR Docs Steel Colt “Colt” and BSR Shady Lil Secret “Secret.”

Blaze 2018 sorrel Quarter/pony cross out of TW Hickory San Sport x Sugar (Shetland pony mare).

Blaze is as sweet as he is cute!!  He is Tyla’s pony that she shares with those who come to camp and lessons.  He is a little on the lazy side so needs a rider who can be tough with him.

Tuff 2018 buckskin Quarter Pony out of TW Hickory San Sport x Spice (Hackney pony mare).

Tuff is very smart and athletic.  He is Jace’s pony and they have a great connection.  He has been used for some of our more experienced riders for lessons as well.  Tuff loves to perform the tricks we have taught him and he knows how to say “yes” and “no”, smile and bow.

Spitz N Giggles “ReRun” is a 2015 sorrel gelding out of TW Hickory San Sport x Never In Style.

Pedigree: https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/spitz+n+giggles

This colt is out of one of our favorite mares. She was bred by Ryder before we sold her and had this colt on April 5, 2015. She died a couple months after he was born and he was left fending for himself in a group of mares and foals until the owner realized the mare had died and foal was an orphan. He contacted me a few weeks later to see if I was interested in the colt. We picked him up the end of September 2015 and he was skin and bones. He has grown a lot since then and is filling out nicely.  You would never know he started life as an orphan.  He has the sweetest temperament and would love to be a lap dog rather than a horse. He is very special because his mama, Never In Style, was one of our favorite broodmares.

ReRun the day he came to us in July of 2015.  We were unsure if he would even make it because he was so thin and malnourished.

We cannot believe how much he has grown and filled out.  He absolutely loves people and is always the first one to the gate, hoping he will get taken out.

Rerun in 2020/2021

He loves pulling the wagon and sleigh with his full brother, Docs Easy Shooter.  With his strength and energy, you would never know he was the thin, sickly colt who came to live with us in 2015.

Rerun loves his job and loves being with people! He is definitely one of a kind!

Rerun loves pulling the buggy!

BSR Roughryder “Ryder” 2019 palomino colt out of TW Hickory San Sport x Olenas Pawnee.

Ryder was our last colt born at Blazin’ Saddles out of our stallion Ryder, so he was named after his sire.  He also looks just like his daddy so the name fits him well.  He was born on Josh’s birthday on March 28th.

Ryder is a very special boy and I have loved working with him. He is so laid back and willing to please!  He is a big boy and is a good 16 hands.  He has earned his place as a lesson horse and some of the more advanced students have loved riding him!

We sold our much loved Shooter summer of 2023, so Ryder has taken his spot pulling the wagon with Rerun.  They are half brothers and work well together.

Docs Rydin Rodeo is a 2009 chestnut gelding out of TW Hickory San Sport x JB Black Beauty.

Rodeo is a little 14.2 hand gelding that we raised and sold as a four-year-old.  We purchased him back in September of 2022 and he has loved being “home.”  He is quite spunky in the arena so we use him for more experienced riders.

Jace and Rodeo make quite a team competing!  They are also having fun learning how to rope.

Spirit is a 2017 bay gelding out of TW Hickory San Sport x Sun Jet Lady.

Tyla has a soft spot for Spirit – she named him and has a special bond with him.

Spirit is a full brother to Shine and Shady.  He has a good mind like the rest of the horses we raised out of Ryder and is a fun horse to ride.

BMQ Chipped By Stars “Chip” is a 2005 bay gelding out of Chipped In Chocolate x BMQ Billy Jo.

Chip is a very well bred, western pleasure gelding.  We were blessed to have him donated to Blazin’ Saddles summer of 2023.  He had to retire from the show ring due to an injury but still has a lot of life left and is a great addition to our camp and lesson horses.  He has the most beautiful western pleasure trot and lope and is a dream to ride.

Sapphire Secret is 2022 black Gypsy Vanner/Pony cross filly.  She is growing into a gorgeous filly!  She is coming along nicely under saddle and is in foal to World Champion Gypsy Vanner, Presley, for a 2026 foal.

Sapphire Secret’s Sire:

“Big Gem” is a 2023 black filly.  1/2 Percheron, 1/4 Clydesdale, 1/4 Quarter Horse.

Big Gem was purchased in December 2023.  She was a late summer foal and need some good feed and TLC.  She hadn’t been handled at all prior to coming to Blazin’ Saddles but settled down nicely and learned to lead very quickly.  She has a very sweet, docile temperament like a draft horse. She was covered in cockle burs when she came and seemed to be very thankful to have them brushed out. Look at the change from 2023 to now!

Big Gem was started under saddle last summer and is coming along nicely.  She floats when she moves and I could ride her smooth little trot all day long!  She is huge!  She already stands over 16h and is still growing!

Summer of 2025:

Big Girl is a September 2022 black filly.  She is 1/2 Belgian, 1/2 Quarter Horse.

Big Girl is a daughter of the gentle old Belgian mare we owned, Dolly.  We were blessed to be able to purchase this neat filly of hers.  She was my main mount last summer and we lead a lot of groups on trail rides together.  She is such a good girl for her age and so fun to ride.  We had so much fun together her first summer under saddle.

Big Girl had a very severe injury on Thanksgiving and is still recovering.  We are hoping and praying for a full recovery for her.  See her story and follow her journey of recovery on our Blazin’ Saddles Facebook page.

The black fillies fall 2024 left to right: Big Girl, Jewel, Sapphire, Big Gem.

Sage is a 2025 3/4 Fjord, 1/4 Hackney filly.

Sage is quite a mix of sweet and stubborn.  She is a filly we raised out of our Fjord/Hackney pony. It is fun to have a unique breed and we hope she will make a great lesson horse one day!
