We have fillies by Zakly and out of CL Parti Tyme, she came at 4:30 PM on April 19, 2002. She is a beautiful leggy bright bay, with one stocking and three partial coronet. She has a huge blaze also, hence her stable name of Blaze. She will be registered as RJR Zaklys Laheeb. I will attach one photo of her here and the rest can be seen on her new web page.We also welcomed a filly by Zakly and out of Misty Wings, a Wings NA grandaughter on May 7, 2002. This one is also a real looker. She has that wonderful hanging trot that you think she is just going to take off and fly. We named her RJR Zaklys Zaafinah, meaning Dancing Girl, aka Dancer for short. We think she is going to be either gray or black bay, it's kinda hard to tell right now. Both of these girls are for sale and can be seen at their webpage Blaze and Dancer's Page.

We have spent almost 4 years at our new farm and it was a really busy time. Between spraying pastures for weeds, fixing up barns and buildings, building and moving fence and general clean up of the farm, we had our hands full and didn't have much time to ride at all. I think that we only took the horses out a couple of times. However, the farm is starting to look a lot better than it did when we moved in. The new place is in Genoa, NE and you can see some pictures of it at Rocking J Ranch. The expense of buying the new place and getting it fixed up kept us from showing the last three seasons, but hopefully we will be back on the circuit next spring.

Our junior stallion is RJR ExZaktamente, aka Indy, a bay colt, foaled March 8, 2000, by Zakly and out of CL Parti Tyme, aka Santee. He's a real tall leggy colt with a star, strip and snip and three white stockings. At thirty months old, he is 14-2 hands tall and bids fair to go over 15 hands at maturity. We are not going to geld him as he is bidding fair to be better than his sire. I am posting one photo of him below and the rest are at RJR ExZaktamente's Page.

RJR ExZaktamente at 26 months We have a total of nine horses now that Zakly has passed away, seven arabs, one quarter horse and one quarab colt. Zakly was our senior stallion and we have two arab mares, CL Parti Tyme, aka Santee, who is also my trail and general riding horse,You can read her story at Santee's Story and Misty Wings, a mare for whom I had traded our two year old arab filly. We also now have RJR ExZaktamente, aka Indy, our millenium colt. Steve has the six year old quarter mare that we bred from his very first horse, Ginger Angelo. You can see Santee's pedigree at CL Parti Tyme,aka. Santee's pedigree.

Our first foal from crossing Zakly on Santee was a beautiful bay filly, who we named X Zakly Magic. She was imprinted at birth and handled almost every day of her life, needless to say, she became our pocket horse. You could hardly go in the pen without having her hanging her head over your shoulder to see what you were doing. I hated to sell her, but I didn't want to breed her to her sire and I needed an outcross. We finally traded her for Misty Wings, a six year old Wings NA grandaughter with heavy Crabett breeding on the bottom side. Magic's new owner is truly happy with her, especially as just before he came over to get her, I had put a saddle on her for the first time and she took to it like she had been saddle broke for years. I was tempted to just swing a leg over and ride her, but didn't have the use of the round pen as it had rained and was too wet to ride in. I went over to visit her last spring,just after she turned four and she had really gotten even better than as a two year old.

X Zakly Magic's pedigreehas Bask and Gai-Apache on her top side. I aquired the stallion, Zakly,

who sired the filly from my mare, in April of last year. I had been wanting this horse since I had first seen him at J'arab Farms in Norfolk, six years earlier. He is 67% Crabbett with some Polish and Egyptian, he is also 94% CMK, although he is not CMK because of his sire line. I have posted pictures of one of his fillies on a page called Zaklys Dejavu Page. Zaklys Dejavu was out of an arabian mare called Moon Mariah who traces to Morafic, The Egyptian Prince,Caravan, and El Hilal. Unfortunately, this filly had an accident as a weanling, and had to be put down, she was an outstanding filly.

The next to newest member of Zakly's progeny entered this world on May 1, 1998, a beautiful bay colt out of a Kemosabi great grandaughter. You can see pictures of this colt atX Zakly Right.

We showed Zakly at the Region 8 Championship in Denver on June 14th,1999, in the Breeding Stallion, 5 and over, Open. Although we did not place in the Top Five, I felt Zakly made a good showing, and he certainly garnered his share of compliments the next morning while I was trying saddles on him by the tack trailers in the paddock. I dearly wish that I could have gotten the time off to have shown him in a AOTH instead of Open, but I could not take that much time off from work. It was both his and my first Regional and I am sure that it will not be our last. He was still eligble for 2000 in AOTH, but that was the last time that we showed him. Here is a picture that was taken by the show photographer during the class.

Zakly has been very successful in both High Point and Class A shows and has gone Champion, Reserve Champion or Top Five High Point for the year in a number of classes, Open Halter, AOTH and Liberty. I have high hopes for his get out of both CL Parti Tyme and Misty Wings, as well as the outside mares he will be bred to next year. I am going to have to find a larger wall in my office to hang all the ribbons on that the horses have aquired over the last few years.

Here are some pictures that Steve, my husband took of Zakly in Denver, at the Region 8 Championship Show.

Here is a picture of Zakly's great grandsire on his dam's side, he is double Gai-Apache on the bottom side. I have always admired the Gainey bred horses.

My husband,Steve, is into Quarter Horses and he has a page to show off his horses at Steve and Sky's Page.
