Valentines Day 2011 , Baby's Blue Jeans passed away . Very sad day at Figure 9 Quarter Horses.
She was the Queen of the ranch and left us with many good memories. Rest in Peace old girl.
HER STORY:
In 1999 Rick Ham purchased Babys Blue Jeans from Sissy Novak.
She was being bred to Dr Nick Bar and due to a delay in paperwork with AQHA it shows Sissy as the breeder of Sugar Moon Express. Blue Jeans had a few foals on the ground already but most had been tried on the track. Sugar Moon Express (Dr Nick Bar)is by far her standout foal, running a close second would be Mr. Banana Flit ( Firewater Flit). Laico Ladiesman ( Streak Laico Bird) is her only son at stud and is heading to the arena for a barrel career as well.
Babys Blue Jeans was a full sister to the great Martha Six Moons. His LTE $218,000+ and is sire of over a million in barrel earners. She was sent to the races but did not live up to the record her brother had set , she had 1 win and 1 third in 5 starts with a speed index of 81. But luck and good genetics would make her a valuable broodmare.
Our prize broodmare did not want any special treatment. She enjoyed life in the pasture with the other mares and was fairly pushy and would let you know right quick if she was not happy about something. As she got older and her foals were proving to be more valuable she was put in with less mares and mellowed with age. Big boned , easy keeper, healthy and good mother she was a perfect broodmare.

She carried 12 foals 8 of them for us and we flushed 4 embryos, all were born but only 3 survived.
Jud Little has a 2010 sorrel filly sired by Doc O Mister Hawk. JB Quarter Horses has 2011 palomino filly sired by Chasin Firewater. Brittany Pozzi has a 2011 palomino filly sired by Alive N Firen. We are so excited to see how they mature.

The last pictures we took were for the article Barrel Horse News did in the Feburary 2011 issue on the broodmares of the top rodeo horses.
Ironically that was also the month she left us , 2 /14/ 2011. She passed in the night and never struggled , most likely an aneurysm.
Thankfully we took many pictures of our wonderful broodmare who only the night before was acting playful and bossy as always.
