Zip's Ginger Snap

2007 Colt
Zip On Down X Butterscotch Cooky

Zip's Gingersnap is a beautiful and athletic western pleasure prospect. Sired by Zip On Down (Sundown Q x Zippo's Tammy Te AQHA) out of world and national ch. Butterscotch Cooky (Zippo's Scotch Bar x Mint Chocolate Cooky AQHA), this quiet and friendly gelding has a super lope and great lead changes and is slow and flat kneed at the jog. Deep hocked with correct conformation. Lots of color and full mane and tail, he reminds us a lot of his talented grandsire, World Ch. Zippo's Scotch Bar. He will be a great longe line prospect and will be ready to break out this fall. Should maturearound 15.1 to 15.2.

Priced very reasonably...  Make us an offer!

His mom Cooky is also available and is being bred back in 2008 to Impulsive Zipper. She was not only a top western pleasure champion of 2002, she is a great mother, and her foals are superb movers........with LOTS of color!

Down To Conclusions
"Monty"
2006 Chestnut colt
(Zip On Down x Miss Whynot Straw)

Down to Conclusions (Zip On Down x Miss Why Not Straw) is our best moving colt ever. He will mature at 16 hands and is tall, muscular and elegant in light sorrel with a flaxen mane and tail. You need to look at this one if you want to win the World longe line class and then go on to ride in the big leagues. This mares foals have all won top 5 at the Worlds and Nationals and several are medallion earners, including Irish Impulse, Zip to Conclusions and Conclusively Zipped. Monty is a repeat breeding of the last two and is the best one yet. He could be gelded but is coloring now.

SOLD to Patti McCartin, in the 2007 select yearling sale at the World Show. Monty is now riding very well under saddle and we look forward to seeing him in the ring soon with Patti. Congratulations Patti!

A Spot Of Scotch
"Jeffrey"
2006 Blue Roan Leopard Colt
(Zip on Down x Miracle Doll)

Owned by Cayuga Ridge Ranch and will be shown at all major shows including Gordyville and the Nationals by Clark and Butch McGlothlin. He is a once in a lifetime color horse and has an incredibly quiet disposition that will allow him to ride with anyone under saddle. Clark's 4 year old daughter routinely handles Jeffrey, a yearling stallion, and leads him to the exercise pen and releases him, to give you an idea of his disposition.....Watch for him late March in Gordyville.

Winner of the OPAA weanling colt and color class, and winner of color futurities at IAA, Ky Midstate and HAA futurities.

At the recent Gordyville IL show, one of the nation's largest ApHC shows, Jeffrey (A Spot of Scotch) won the color class hands down, with 2 firsts and 2 seconds. He now has his ROM in color in one show!!

"Jeffrey" now has his ROM's in non-pro color in 2 shows and his ROM in open color. He is currently leading the nation in color. He has won numerous points at the Freedom Special,  Bluegrass Shenandoah AA, WMAR, OPAA and Keystone AC. Jeffrey finished up the year in 2007 with lots of accolades. ROMs in open color and non-pro color as well as a top 10 overall placement in open color, attending just 5 shows in 2007.

Now SOLD, Jeffrey is still the same loveable, quiet 2 year old and will bemaking the trip out to Montana in May.
Congratulations to his new owner,Cassandra Sorrells of Kallispell Montana.

A Spot of Scotch has made it safely to Montana and his new owner, Cassandra Sorrell by way of a long haul with great handler/hauler Bob Hardy of Montana. Thanks Bob for making it such a pleasant and safe experience for Jeffrey. There should be a bit more color now in Kalispell Montana now that he has arrived! Good luck in showing Jeffrey in open and non-pro color events this year.

His full brother was also a big winner at Gordyville. Kirby (Zip's Snowstorm) was reserve high point youth horse with 9 year old Kara Kaufmann aboard, on her first ride of the season on Kirby. He did great in halter, showmanship, western and english pleasure and equitation classes. Congratulations to this pretty team.....

We are proud to announce the arrival of the full sister...........Sophie.......(Zip's Little Miracle) a gorgeous dun filly with 2 hind socks and a blaze.........solid in color with a gorgeous body and an even better lope, this quiet girl will be a dynamite rider and halter point earner like her brothers. She is sired by Zip On Down out of Miracle Doll.

Her half brother, Time to Be Radical is getting geared up for the Tom Powers futurities as a 2 year old, shown by Karen and Ty Hornick. He has been out on the scene at major quarter horse shows and is attracting a lot of attention, we hear...........Watch for this pretty leopard stallion, he sure is quiet and a beautiful mover.......

Bay Watch Babe
(State of the Art x Crystal Chrissy)

This pretty mare has won it all, halter, longe line and 2 year old western pleasure futurities. She can move and is really built with substance and muscling too. She has produced a top 10 western pleasure performance horse with Zip On Down (Zip's Lone Star) and a halter futurity winner with Imagine the Vision (Imagine the Luck). She is currently in foal for an early April baby by World and National champion and top halter producer Vision Maker, and will be rebred in 2007 to Distinctive Affair. She is currently for sale to the right home only. Her foal is futurity nominated for the big paying WYNAA futurity as well as HAA, IAA and Michigan futurities. She is for sale for 5500.00 with foal ( a 2 in one package) and is a proven producer of halter winners as her last foal was the first place colt at WYNAA in 2006. The colt alone could earn back the cost of the mare and we expect it will be a beautiful bay like mom and dad.

Sold to Clark McGlothlin of Atwater, Ohio.
We will be keeping her pretty colt... A Vision in Bay to show at all the futurities and the world show this year...a beautiful dark bay stud colt!

One Sweet Zip
Gorgeous 2005 Mare
(Zip On Down x One Sweet Chip)
Full sister to One Chip Down.

SOLD to Ken Knowlton and Dawn Gilbert

I just saw Lulu this weekend afteralmost a year in partial training under saddle and.....WOW...... she has matured beautifully and is a drop dead gorgeous black mare with correct conformation, size and presence, and fluid movement. An especially nice loper. She is really strong hocked and is versatile enough to do western riding and pleasure, youth or non-pro halter, showmanship and even reining or games events. This one can do it all and boy is she pretty! Now broke out under saddle, she reminds us of Sundown Q himself in style and type and he earned a silver medallion for winning national championships in western pleasure, western riding and reining. She has matured to around 15.1 to 15.2 and is quiet and versatile! Watch for her at the shows in 2008!
