Annie has excellent conformation. She is straight and balanced with a lot of bone and muscle. We expected her to excel in western performance events including cattle class. Nothing seemed to rattle this mare. She had already started her show ring career earning points in halter. Then one day she came in from the pasture limping. We took her to the vet and learned that she had a slab fracture to one of the bones in her knee. After three months of complete stall rest the fracture healed and she is now out on pasture trotting and running around as good as new. But her show ring career is over. So she has entered our broodmare band. Annie had a very pretty filly by Zips Dark Chocolate in March of 2010. She is bred to Zips Strawsam MMR for an April 2011 foal.

Annie's sire is Dream Scheme, a Canadian National Champion in Aged Halter Stallion, Junior Western Pleasure, and Hunter in Hand Stallion, and a Reserve Canadian National Champion in Non pro Stallion and Ladies Western Pleasure. He has top ten finishes in both the U.S. National and in the World as well as a number of other impressive awards. He has earned over 56 halter and 30 performance points with the ApHC as well as 25 halter and 75 performance points with the Appaloosas Horse Club of Canada and holds four ROMs. Dream Scheme has produced futurity halter and performance champions, ROM earners, and the Canadian National Champion Hunter in Hand gelding, Schemin Dreamin. His gets are being shown successfully in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Dream Scheme is by Dreamfinder, a U.S. National and World Champion and the sire of U.S. National, Canadian National, and World Champions, as well as ApHC Versatility Champions. Dreamfinder was inducted into the Appaloosa Hall of Fame in 1996. Dream Scheme's dam holds a ROM in halter and is by Alias Smith and Jones, a successful race horse and supreme champion sire. Dream Scheme is 15.3 H.

Annie's dam is Cheri's Secret. Cheri has been a good broodmare for us and has produced point earners in both halter and performance events. She has sons in California, Texas, and Kansas and Annie's full sister was exported to Canada where she was shown by a ten-year old in multiple events.

Cheri's sire is DF Secret Dynasty, by DF Bright Dynasty, by Deep South (ApHC Hall of Fame, Medallion Winner, stakes winner, Champion 2 and 3 year old race stallion). Secret Dynasty is out of Secret Dancer by the thoroughbred Special Secret (sire of AQHA ROM Race holders as well as an ApHA Stakes winner) by Raise a Native (Champion and Kentucky Derby sire). Cheri's dam is by Silvery Sand (AQHA) by Custus Sandy (AQHA Champion) by Custus Rastus (TB and AQHA Superior Champion Sire). Cheri's second dam is CherryTwist (dam of Cherry's Leader, the Appaloosa Hall of Fame Cutting Horse) who is by Cherry Bounce (AQHA Grand Champion). Cheri's third dam is by Hip Twist by Black Twist (AQHA AA).

Zips Strawsam MMR, the stallion to which Annie is bred for a 2011 foal, is a multiple World Champion and has sired World and National Champions.  He is on the ApHC list of Leading Sires of Performance Horses for 2007, 2008, and 2009.  Zips Strawsam MMR is by the three-time World Champion Zippos Scotch Bar and is out of Rocket Straw Sam, a Reserve National Champion Western Horse and holder of 7 ROMs.  Rocket Straw Sam is by the Hall of Fame stallion Roman Straw Man.  Since this breeding was purchased at the Stallion Services Silent Auctionat the 2009 World Championship Appaloosa Show, Annie’s 2011 foal will be eligible for the World Championship Appaloosa Sale Incentive Classes and can compete for large payouts as a two-year-old. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this foal. This foal will be for sale.
