TAILWINDS JUNCTION PROUDLY PRESENTS....
OUR "APPY" PROGRAM
| Quite a while ago, we decided to try and improve the "small" appaloosa" horses. We bought several jet black mares and bred them to our frost appy stallion REBEL. He gave us lovely black fillies with nice straight legs, good even teeth, and gentle lovely dispositions but no color except jet black. However, they are half appy and better girls than their dams. In addition, we also purchased several young fillies, raised them to maturity and bred them in 2007 to a loud leopard appy stallion SMOKER. The first results on the ground in 2008 were quite exciting - SPARKLE and JACK. The other black fillies are getting older now and we will breed them next spring to our new stallion additions - HOLY SMOKE and SPOTTED ILLUSION which we acquired in April 09. We also have two yearlings and one weanling appy colts to enhance our program as future herd sires. The experiment is in full swing and getting quite exciting. Here are some of the major players. |

| In April 2009, HOLY SMOKE joined us from Oklahoma and SPOTTED ILLUSION came from Colorado. SMOKE has bred some of our girls for 2010. ILLUSION will join the breeding program and get several mares this spring. They spent the winter together and for 2 boys who were raised alone - they had a very good winter. | |

grandaughter of LITTLE KINGS BIONIC BUCKEROO but is truly an appy in
every way. Her appy pedigree includes HIDDEN MEADOWS MOON DUST, SHADOW
OAKS FRECKLES and LEGENDARYS BULLET as well as BARIMORE NAPLOEON and

JELLYBEAN |

JELLYBEAN is a direct descendent of the great ORION and proves our program that black mares bred to appy can produce loud colored offspring. Bred to CHIEF (an Orion boy), she produced SWEEET, a blanket appy . Bred to REBEL, she produced 2 black fillies. Bred to SMOKER, she produced APPY JACK (below).. |
| Introducing JELLYBEAN'S 2009 colt SMOKESTACK CHARLIE. Charlie is quite little and has primative bars on his legs and a web on his forehead and so his final color is still up in the air. |
