The 2004 ApHC World Show was a very special one for us.
Our mare Miss Whynot Straw had three of her babies (Conclusively Zipped/2003, Irish Impulse/2002, and Zip To Conclusions/2001) finish in the top 10, including World Champion Irish Impulse in 2-yr-old Snaffle Bit Western Pleasure and Reserve World Champion Conclusively Zipped in Yearling Longe-Line! Zip On Down was also well represented at the 2004 World Show. He is the sire of Conclusively Zipped, Zip To Conclusions, and Zip's Snowstorm, all of whom finished in the top 10.

Zip's Little Miracle

2007 Filly
Zip On Down X Miracle Doll

SOLD to Jennalynn Teel of Barneveld NY.

Our pretty homebred filly Zip's Little Miracle (Zip On Down x Miracle Doll by The Miracle Chip), now owned by Jennalynn Teel of Barneveld NY had a wonderful memorial day weekend at her first show ever. A solid chestnut with blaze, she won a large longeline added money futurity class at the NY Breeder's Show which was attended by quarter horse, paint and Appaloosa enthusiasts from the Northeast. Besides winning the class and defeating some top trainers in the process, Jenna handled her like a pro and received a few offers on her pretty filly as well. Although folks were suprised she was an Appaloosa, we feel they can compete in NSBA events with the best of them.......Congratulations Jenna and we look forward to hearing more about this little star in the ring. She is about as pretty and balanced as they come and with a soft soft lope too!
