We cannot say enough good things about
JK Jay Reed aka “Pine Cone”. We are riding Pine Cone
offspring, using one of them for yearling and two year
old 4-H classes the last two years. They are very smart,
athletic, kind and fast learners. They are the kind of
horses that can go any direction from the ranch to trail
to show to rodeo. His pedigree speaks for itself and is
as foundation bred as they come. Poco Pine, Continental
King, Whiskey Bert, Joe Reed II are all on his papers.
It is important to note that King P-234 if very close up
in his pedigree and he traces to King a total of 6
times! He is that awesome blood bay color with only
white forehead hairs, passes that minimal white to many
of his babies and all have had good feet.
Pine Cone himself is very easy to get along with. He’s
good with his mares. You can catch him out with his
mares and handle him or the mares as needed. He was
broke, but has spent most of his years in the badlands
as a ranch stud taking care of himself and his mares and
he has a few battle scars to show for it. We view this
as another testimony of his dependable nature, athletic
ability, intelligence and responsiveness to people.
Pine Cone was bred at Fletcher Farms in Lonoke, Arkansas
and was later purchased by Barbra Kennedy Johnson and
her husband Jarrette of Mandaree, North Dakota. Pine
Cone came to North Dakota during a time when many of the
ranches and buyers stopped registering their foals and
therefore, through no fault if his own or his pedigree,
many of his offspring are unregistered and untraceable.
Having seen his offspring and using some of them
ourselves, we decided to bring Pine Cone out into the
public light to share his good foundation pedigree and
offer his registered babies to the public for sale
starting with the 2009 foal crop. We hope you like what
you see and hope that you keep checking back for his new
babies each spring. Pine Cone does not stand to the
public.
