Born 5-19-23. Some years we do a fun theme for names. This year we decided to go with Geology and things that come from the ground.  Many of these names are a little loose in thoughts regarding if they are elements, minerals, rocks, gemstones or colors etc.  Carnelian is a mineral that comes from the chalcedony family. It is a brownish-red mineral commonly used as a semi-precious gemstone.

‘Carnelian’ doesn’t have any white on his head, but both rear pasterns are white. Carnelian’s dam, Chex Mix Mega aka Chex is a 91% NFQHA (F0039285) solid grullo filly. We are beyond pleased with her.  We bought her mama, Megas Lil Starlight in foal to Smart Charcoal Chex and really hit the jackpot with this sweet filly.  We had long admired Weninger Quarter Horses program and drooled over the foals by their stallion Indigo Mega.  So much of Meg’s pedigree speaks for itself and it has many favorites of ours and a few lines that are new to us. We have long wanted Hollywod Jac 86 and Mr Joe Glo; love the Joe Cody in a couple of our other mares; of course there is the Poco Bueno in there; Doc Quixote, Colonel Freckles and we cannot forget Grays Starlight. If you follow our program at all, you can see we are pretty high on Paddys Irish Whiskey and he is a full brother to Grays Starlight. And all this in a great grullo package as a bonus. You can study further on Indigo Mega by clicking his name. Her sire is Smart Charcoal Chex from the Ammon Ranch here in North Dakota and with their permission this is some of the information from their website.  He is nominated with the SDRCHA making Chex eligible for their stallion stakes show and money.  He has qualified for the NRCHA World show in Limited Open Bridle in 2011-2015 and also AQHA World Show qualified in Ranch Horse Pleasure.  He is out of a money earning and producing mare named Miss Reed Chex by Bueno Chex and has produced 6 performers. Chex’s first foal, Chex Cody Topsail JW, went with a repeat buyer in CA.

Carnelian’s sire is Goldun Topsail aka “Topper” who is a 90% NFQHA (F0039287) dun stallion. He is our newest stallion and this is his 3rd foal crop. We acquired Topper as part of a package deal with his dam, Whizzin Lena. As a grandson of Topsail Whiz and a son of Jaz Poco Goldun Blue we could not be happier. His dam, Whizzin Lena aka Whiz is an older mare we purchased from Ryan Fleetwod at Fleetwood Farms. Bred at Bob Loomis Quarter Horses in Oklahoma, Whiz is a very well-bred reining mare.  Sired by Topsail Whiz, the 1st and only NRHA 12 million dollar sire, and out of a mare by Justa Doc Olena by Doc O Lena, this mare was third in the South Country Derby Non-Pro division in 2001 and won the Non-Pro Reining Futurity at the Canadian Supreme in Red Deer, Alberta. Whiz’s earnings include NRHA $3,754. She also has four performing foals. Her sire Topsail Whiz is in the Hall of Fame, a NRHA money earner, NRHA #1 all time leading sire, AQHA World Show Qualifier, AQHA Leading Sire and  ROM Performance. Topper’s sire is Jaz Poco Goldun Blue who is the most photographed or well-known grulla horse. He is 95% foundation and 27% Poco Bueno. With all the titles to his name, and to his progeny, there is no doubt that this is a horse who truly has it all - conformation, disposition, trainability, talent - all wrapped up in that great grulla color!“ as stated by Ryan Fleetwood of Feetwood Farms about Jaz Poco Goldun Blue. He is a NRHA money earner and a World Champion Sire. He started very well under saddle as a two year old.

Carnelian will be 91% NFQHA and eligible to register. We all got a little laugh that he turned out bay from a dun stallion and grullo dam, but no matter his coloring this guy should have athletic ability and especially if you are drawn to foundation bloodlines. He will be for sale.
