Missy was the second mare we purchased to be our foundation mare for our herd. We have never regretted it for one second. I wish I had a dollar for every person that has wanted to buy her. She has proven she has the ability to throw some truly AWESOME athletic foals as can be seen in the three foals she has had for us. "Bandit" her first foal, "Surprise" her second foal and "Derby" her third foal. Missy stands 15 Hands and weighs 1,000 pounds. I hate to repeat myself, but Missy had everything we were looking for as well... Big boned, stocky, well muscled, big feet and straight legs, huge hip, level rump, deep chest and heart girth, nice long sloping shoulder for a smooth ride. Our farrier constantly comments on what good feet she has. He says she's got the best feet in our entire hers. Missy has been broke to ride and knows it ALL. She does everything... spins, side passes, sliding stops and the whole nine yards of just regular riding. She is just the gentlest sweetest thing when it comes to a novice rider that you ever want to see. She will take baby steps or half steps and acts like an old plug. But... once you get an experienced rider on her she is full of life and ready to go and do whatever you ask of her. Missy is the type of mare that you can let be a horse for a year then saddle her up and hop on with no problems. She never offers to buck and remembers everything she's learned. Nothing spooks her or bothers her in the slightest. She's one "Rock Solid" mare that is totally bomb proof. Plain and simply a real honest horse with a great mind. I wish I had a 100 like her. Missy is passing ALL of her good qualities on to her foals. Every one of them have her calm willing attitude and learn quickly. Her 2003 Colt, "Surprise", was sold. He was shown last year as a 2 year old in Paint Shows in Southern California. He consistently won in Halter and Color Classes over much older Mature Stallions. His owner will be using him as their stud when he gets older. "Bandit", Missy's 2000 colt is in Canada. He was sold to Mark and Randa Nugent of Nugent Ranches. Mark and Randa are Professional Rodeo and Barrel Racing people. Mark was 16th in the World in 1990. Bandit is currently in training on their Ranch. I look forward to seeing great things from him in the future. Missy's sire, Smashed Casanova, is a proven leading Barrel Racing producing sire in addition to other winners in the Arena, on the Track and at Halter. Smashed Casanova has a fine confirmation, a great disposition, an awesome pedigree, and explosive athletic ability. He was unraced due to an injury. He consistently produces athletic colts with great minds and excellent confirmation. This mare was bred for "SPEED". She has "Easy Jet" right on her papers. But it doesn't stop there. She has Easily Smashed, Jet Deck, Lena's Bar, Top Moon, Midway Mayor, Majestic Prince, Raise A Native and Bar Bob just in her first 4 generations. When you go a bit further you will find Three Bars, Moon Deck, Top Deck, Barred, Rebel Cause, Depth Charge, Native Dancer, Count Fleet [Triple Crown Winner], Music Mount and Leo. Missy was left open in 2005. We don't breed our mares every year. We like to give them a rest every so often and have a chance to enjoy life. She is bred now so if you'd like to put a bit of speed in your herd check out her 2005 colt, "Citas Regal Derby" or look for her 2007 foal out of our stallion "Citas Bueno Suerte".                  Page Last Updated - April 23, 2006.
