I have been trying to get horses that are more “cowy”, all my life it seems. I had a young friend working in California a few years ago so I had him look for a horse bred to be that way, to use as a stallion on my few mares. He found me one, so in the fall of 2005 Chance and Hope and I headed out there with Teddy ( my Dodge Ram who is named after Teddy Roosevelt, ‘cuz that Dodge is damn sure a “rough rider”) my 22 foot stocktrailer, several colts who needed hauled to California and lots of praying that we would make it back home alive! We did, barely, and came back with Mijo. His AQHA papers list him as Plumb Pepinic. His sire is Smart Little Pepinic. Smart Little Pepinic won the Worlds Riches Working Cowhorse Event in Paso Robles in the fall of 2007 along with many other cuttings and Working Cowhorse events. His dam is Dry Silver Scotch by Plumb Dry who’s sire is Dry Doc. Smart Little Pepinic is out of Smart Little Uno by smart Little Lena on the top and Pepinic by Peppy San Badger. Pepinic’s dam is Anuthernic. So he’s bred to cow and he’s only been worked with for a short time, but was very impressive . We have his first colt crop on the ground. I have a filly and a colt still here at home and we should get 3 more foals in the spring of 08. If any of this interests you, give me a call. We may have a colt to suit you or perhaps you have a well bred mare you would like to breed to Mijo.

Here are a bay filly and a dun colt out of Mijo, born last spring.

And here is Mijo.
