Here’s a view I look forward to seeing much more of…😍
Same same… just Aces junior version 🐎💙

Something I’ve missed for a very long time, and it brings my heart so much joy. From the saddle, there’s no denying it — JD is certainly his father’s son. 🥰

Ace left a big hole when he passed, but seeing this view again reminds me that legacies live on🙏💕.
So grateful for moments like these ✨🐴”

🌟 Sneak Peek of Our SnS Quarter Horses Fillies! 🌟

We had a little surprise visit with our two homebred girls recently, and WOW — they are looking strong, happy, and absolutely thriving at Linbar Stud! 💚🐴🌾
Both Fillies are growing into themselves beautifully… sun bleached coats and all 🙈😂

This girl is all Mumma 🥰
KC is athletic, curious, and already showing the spark that will make her a standout! That soft bay coat may be sun-bleached, but she’s glowing all the same ✨😍

🔥 BB Gun — Our Pretty Redhead Powerhouse
By Gunners Special Nite 👏
Out of Don’t Mess With Beth (by the legend Lil Joe Cash × a Wimpy’s Starlight mare)
BB Gun is built like a machine 🦾 and has inherited so much of her famous sire’s presence and quality! And her temperament? Simply exceptional. There’s not much you can’t do with this wise young soul 🥰
A special girl with a big future written all over her. ❤️

Seeing these two together — happy, healthy and growing into such lovely youngsters — makes our breeder hearts full. 💛
✨ We’re so looking forward to their futures and know the journey ahead will be exciting. We can’t wait to see them in the show pen, and to watch Catherine start them under saddle — it will all come around soon enough!
📣 Stay tuned for updates… the best is yet to come! 🙌🐴💫
