Our Mares
A strong foundation
Introducing our Appaloosa Mares, these emerging stars showcase their talents in the arena and on the ranch. They are dedicated companions with fantastic temperaments and exceptional athletic skills. They will make exceptional broodmares - if we can ever get by without them on the ranch! Many of our mares comes from proud "Magnum" lineage, but we have added a couple of wonderful ladies to join Chuck's line up.

Meet each one of the girls below.

​
Iris' story began when Adam had the opportunity to borrow Dial Alice as a walk/trot horse. He fell in love with her, so when he was asked if he'd like to try for a Magnum baby out of her, there was no hesitation. For the next 11 months, he couldn't wait for his colt to arrive...even though we kept telling him it could be a filly. The big day finally arrived and the announcement came that the baby was indeed a filly. Adam quickly softened on his view when he walked in to meet his new filly, who was still wet. He very proudly named her Dialed The Wrong Number - since she wasn't the colt he was hoping for. The pair has accomplished so much since that day and I am pretty sure he wouldn't trade this mare for a colt. Iris truly has everything - brains, beauty, and athleticism. She is a blast to show and work the ranch with and will continue to be in our show string for a few more years. Adam's interests are no longer in the show pen, but he has allowed us to haul Iris to finish some of her youth awards and Kristine has been using her to get back into showing.

Katniss is the first of 5 from this cross and we liked her so much we just kept going! As a weanling, she slid into a fence and almost didn't make it due to the damage to her legs. Abby took over after her return from the vet clinic and the rest is history. Katniss spent a few years on the back burner - both because we were taking it slow with her after her injury and because Abby was actively showing Johnnie. Things changed a bit mid summer 2024 when Katniss moved up to Abby's primary horse. She had a lot to learn both on the ranch and in the show ring, but made a lot of progress. Katniss is a big moving, honest mare with a lot of potential. She will do the regular slate of classes with the hopes of some over fences work in the future. Katniss will move up as a senior horse in 2025 and that will present another set of challenges but nothing they won't overcome. This pair will be rather unstoppable in the future!

You have to pay attention when you head out to pasture. Sarah and Katniss look more alike the older they both get. 2024 was a big year for Sarah with a lot of firsts and learning experiences - all of which she handled with the excellent dispositions and level head our Magnum's are known for. Her experiences around the ranch and in the show pen will continue to grow and we feel she will make a talented partner in both cases. She is also a big, free moving mare with a natural ranch-y look to her and her highlighted mane and tail just add it. Katy had a lot of fun with her this past summer showing her the ropes, and they should be a good team for years to come. The judges will have to take a second look when the girls come in on matching horses!

ee (Red) - aa (Agouti) - Lp/lp - PATN/PATN
This mare is an exciting addition and Katy's current show horse. Annie is correct and built to perform while being wrapped in a pretty, colorful package. Her sire, Dun In Poco Docs, goes to YOR White Hot, Hollywood Dun It, and FV Funny Face - none of them need an introduction! Her dam, Mystic Holly, is a Bronze Medallion earner and by Mystic Print a well known multi Supreme Champion sire. Annie had not made it to the show ring herself before we purchased her. However, that was one of Katy's goals for this summer. With some hard work, Annie has been out a couple of times - mostly for experience, but she has picked up a few points along the way! She also has dreams of crossing her on Chuck in the future for some colorful, super talented foals. Either way, Annie has an exciting future and we cannot thank Folgate Appaloosas enough for helping make her purchase possible!

When we decided to get serious about a second girlfriend for Chuck, we decided to try a different direction than our working/cattle bred Annie. Meet Chocolate At Midnite, or "Darla" as we call her.
Darla presents some of the best pleasure bloodlines. An own daughter of Chocolatey - whom needs no introduction. She is out of Moonlight Made Over whom is by Invitation Only and out of Zippo By Moonlight. This makes Moonlight Made Over a full sister to Only In The Moonlight. It's pretty easy to get lost in this star-studded pedigree, and we could go on and on about their accomplishments.
Darla spent some time in the show ring garnering points in a variety of events while also proving her excellent disposition as a leadline and walk/trot horse at the regional and world level. Then an old injury and some arthritis sidelined her show career. She has produced 2 foals to date, and we are hoping for more colorful, talented foals from her and Chuck in the future!
