At eMDee Mountain Horses, we believe that the mare's contribution to a foal's genetics is as important as the stallion's contribution. In addition, the mare's disposition may be the most important influence on the foal's behavior from birth to weaning. With this in mind, our brood mares have been carefully chosen for their blood lines, disposition and abilities.
We have a small herd of mares, many have proven themselves to be champions in the show ring and all are delights in the pasture. We have selected these brood mares for their diverse genetic backgrounds. Whether breeding for show or trail horses, we want to preserve the traditional mountain horse characteristics that make them a pleasure to be around.
When we learned about the Rocky Mountain Horse, we were told they were "easy keepers". Our brood mares have taught us that they prefer being at pasture, rather than in a barn. They only take cover in a "walk-in" on the coldest, wettest winter days and the hottest summer days. We provide mineral blocks year round, but only feed anything other than hay or grass in the last 3 months of pregnancy and until weaning the foals. Foaling occurs at pasture, except in the worst weather.
We are amazed at what "easy keeper" really means.
Our mares form close bonds with each other, babysitting each others foals and grooming each other regularly. Foals learn herd rules early, under the close watch of their mothers and babysitters. I have been told "the best horseman is the one you find at the fence with his foot propped on the bottom board, just watching the horses interact with each other". Michael must be a great horseman, because that is where he most likes to be, watching brood mares and babies doing nothing other than being horses.

Choco Docks Candy (Candy) 2002 RMHA Florida State Grand Champion Dam to: FairWinds Cinder Ella, 2005 filly eMDee's Sugar and Spice, 2006 filly (below) eMDee's Rhythm and Blues, 2009 colt Candy's color and presence make her a stand out in the pasture. At 14.3 she isn't very big, but under saddle she turned heads because of her big way of going. An unknown injury cut her show career short but she has gone on to prove herself as a great brood mare. Red chocolate with no red gene, she has given us gorgeous champion conformation horses. |

Dolene Marcum (Dolly) Dam to: eMDee's Pre-fon-taine, 2009 colt We went looking for a way to add new color to our herd and found Dolly. She has 2 creme genes, a silver gene, and a bay gene. We definitely got the color possibilities! She is one of the last grade mares registered by the RMHA and her AGMH papers show that she is from very old MPHA bloodlines. Maple's Squirrel, Choco, Moon and Denniston's Champ can be found on her pedigree. Dolly is calm and comes eagerly in the field for attention. Her first foal by Fury is gorgeous, sweet, and gaits effortlessly under saddle. |
