She is out of an extremely well bred 13 hand Quarter Horse mare, and she is the only direct "Atahi" offspring to stay under 13-2 hands for the medium pony hunters! Hearts Desire is a big enough mover and long enough bodied for a small adult to train and school. With her good mind, you could have her ready to show in 60 days.

K G MIRAGE - 1994 APHA chestnut and white tobiano stallion. Very fancy Pinto Colored Sport Pony! By "Halloween" (APHA sorrel and white overo stallion), out of "Sugar Blues" (APHA palomino and white tobiano mare - "Atahi's" full sister). There are not many horses born each year that have the ability to become a successful stallion. An animal needs that combination of flawless conformation, athletic ability, a trainable mind, and that intangible characteristic "charisma". "K G Mirage" has all of these qualities! He has beautiful coloring, the prettiest head and neck you'll ever see, is very refined while maintaining substantial bone, and has the very correct conformation and flowing movement to model. He should put a wonderful flowing stride and beautiful pinto markings on your fancy Pony Hunter,Quarter Pony, and Sport Pony mares! He stands 14 hands.

DIXIE HEART - 1996 APHA dark bay and white tobiano stallion. By "Close To Heart" (APHA), out of "Skips Dixie" (APHA) - (Click for pedigree). If you're looking for an exquisitely marked, world caliber stallion, this is a fellow you really need to see! He is 65% dark bay and 35% white, with his color placed beautifully. He has a lovely head with a strongly pronounced jaw and a beautiful shallow mouth. His eyes are dark with a perfectly centered blaze. This young stallion's conformation is flawless! "Dixie Heart's" pedigree boasts countless World and National Champions on both sides! You've already heard a bit about his sire, "Close to Heart", and his outstanding working blood, but to top it off, his dam, "Skips Dixie" (a multiple Halter winner and great working mare), is an own daughter of the late, great Quarter Horse sire "Sir Raleigh"! "Sir Raleigh" was the sire of multiple; AQHA World Champions (in both Halter and Performance), AQHA Champions, Superior Halter Horses, and Superior Performance Horses (in Western Pleasure, Hunter Under Saddle, Working Hunter, Pleasure Driving, Hunter Hack, Western Riding, and Trail). He sired countless Register Of Merit horses. "Sir Raleigh" was also the sire of "Skips Sierra Nick", the winner of the 'Copenhagen/Skoal Superhorse' award at the AQHA World Show. (A 13 page production record on "Sir Raleigh" is available upon request.) This outstanding stallion prospect is one of those few horses in the nation that really has the ability to sire winners in both the halter and a variety of performance classes. He should make an outstanding reining horse, with the great looks to "knock-the-socks-off" the judges, and the "cow-blood" to easily get his points in cutting or team penning. It's seldom you find all of these qualities in one package! Introductory breeding fee $500.

 

K G BRAVEHEART - 1996 APHA bright chestnut and white tobiano stallion. By "Ebony Heart" (APHA black stallion), out of "Touch My Heart" (APHA chestnut and white tobiano mare). This is one of the best made, most beautifully marked stallion prospects I've seen in the United States in years. "K G Braveheart" has "APHA Champion" written all over him! He stands 15-1 hands. "Brave" will make a really flashy reiner. He has also shown an interest in working cattle. He's 'catty' in his movement, and has the most gorgeous, long, white, full mane you've ever seen! ("K G Braveheart" is very versatile in his abilities and when worked over fences, has lovely, correct form. He is extraordinary in all three gaits. Hunter mare owners will love him!) His legs are wonderful (correct, plenty of bone, and great feet), his body is well muscled with proper angles to be a superior athlete, and his graceful neck and beautiful head set off an outstanding package! To top off these bold physical qualities, he has a sweet, inquisitive attitude. The kind that begets a stallion who is willing, easy to handle, and develops into a brilliant performer and breeder. He works beautifully under saddle, and has proved to be intelligent, light, and eager to please. (Last summer, a 14 year old girl exercised him under saddle everyday.)

"Braveheart" is line-bred "Atahi", and should mark his get with all of the outstanding traits Karen Griffith Farms has been working to achieve over the last thirty years. Make a name for yourself in the show ring and breeding world that others spend a lifetime attaining! Introductory breeding fee $500.

Atahi II

ATAHI II - 1999 APHA jet black and white tobiano stallion. You can tell by his name how this spectacular young stallion has been evaluated! "Atahi II" is Big, Black, and Beautiful! For twenty-six years the name "Atahi" had belonged to one horse only! I've added a 'II' after the name to describe just how perfect this stud is! He is 70% black and 30% white. His markings are fantastic, and his conformation is faultless! He has an exceptionally sweet, willing disposition. He is a double grandson of "Atahi". "Atahi II" is the best balanced, highest quality black and white stallion (tobiano or overo) of his age that I've ever seen. I feel he will produce the next (fifth) generation of successful, sound, beautiful, Paint horses at Karen Griffith Farms.

He is by "Ebony Heart" (APHA black stallion-outstanding own son of "Atahi", AHSA Champion Sire), out of "Win My Heart" (APHA dark bay and white, homozygous, tobiano mare-one of "Atahi's" best daughters). Keep in mind that the great horses like Leo, Wimpy, etc., etc., were produced by this half brother, half sister mating of prepotent, genetically correct sires. I waited 20 years to line breed "Atahi" offspring. I wish I had begun sooner, but I'm old fashioned, and wanted to breed to a large variety of mares to make sure there were no 'fluke' genes there to crop up. You've probably heard the old saying....."You could breed that horse to a hay wagon and make a race horse! " Well, "Atahi" has proven to be one of those genetically superior stallions. With "Atahi II's superb genetics, absolutely flawless conformation, willing disposition, and beautiful coloring, he should stamp his offspring with all of the outstanding qualities that Karen Griffith Farms has worked so diligently to achieve over the last 30 years. Introductory breeding fee $750.

"Atahi II" is not available for outright purchase, but I will begin to sell reserved breeding shares this year.
