The following mares reside at Brett and Jill Spader's near Lawrence, KS

This mare was in reined cow horse training with Cal Middleton, then was sidelined by an injury, so we bred her to Gallo Del Cielo to produce "Cielo Roan". A young daughter of AQHA World Champion and Superhorse Popular Resortfigure, out of the Blue Max Hancock daughter SF Belle Dakota Blue-she is an interesting pedigree coombination. A real athlete with a mind of gold! Million Dollar PRCA Sire Popular Resortfigure has sired 9 PRCA calf horses, three that have made the NFR-Trevor Brazile's "Deputy", Monty Lewis's "Squirrel", and "Sweet As Time" ridden by Marcos Costa-the AQHA-PRCA Tie-Down Roping Horse of the Year and the 2015 AQHA Sr Tie-Down Roping World Champion.

"Popular Valentine's" full sister, "DP Resortfigure" (that sold through our sale in 2010), recently topped the 2016 Roger Branch Performance Horse Sale in Oklahoma selling for $27,000! This good young mare was an AQHA World Show Qualifier in Tie-Down and money earner that will continue her career in South Dakota.
