2003 Blue Roan Stallion

True Blue Believer "Blue" is the latest addition to our ranch. He comes from a ranch in Nebraska. He comes from a long pedigree of roans.
We looked at many blue roan stallions and stud colts to stand at "A Rope And A Prayer Ranch." We chose "Blue" because of his exceptional head, neck, body and tail set. He has an outstanding hip and shoulder.He is beautiful to look at. The Hancock breeding produces excellent horses, but they are usually coarser headed with high tail sets. "Blue" has a nice head, great tail set and great body!! Blue Valentine horses always have nice bone, straight legs and good size feet.
Blues"  Pedigree includes
Blues N Burbon, Cutter Bill, Te' n Te', Driftwood, Miss Savage Bar, Blue Valentine, Red Man and many others.
Malachis Rising Son
IC Ultimate
Blue will be bred to 5 of our mares for the 2007 breeding season.  His foals will be for sale!  See our roan link on the mares! Blue had 4 foals in 2006:: 1 buckskin and 4 roans. The foals were beautiful. His foal crop for 2008 are better than we anticipated. He had a palomino, and all roans thus far for 2008.  The mark of a great sire is the ability to cross with diverse bloodlines and continue to mark his offspring with those characteristics that exemplify what we all strive for. Blue will start training in reining in July 2008. Right after Breeding Season. He throws roans, palominos, and buckskins!!!!!!!!!!!
