12 years ago we entered the show ring with the first of the Rowbucks. We showed them and sold them to show homes the first few years, Then, I got greedy. It wasn’t enough just to see them in the show ring. I wanted to see them everyday in my pastures. So for the past 9-10 years we have been saving the best. Now, finally, we feel we have a B broodmare band that is unequaled. Saying this, we acknowledge that they are perhaps not what everyone else likes, but what I enjoy looking at and working with.

For the past few years the search has been on to find a solid, many-generation miniature-pedigreed B stallion to cross with these Rowdy-Buckeroo mares.

I think that we have found him in
Mountain Meadows D's American Express.

Years ago in Columbia, I watched Express show halter and driving and movement to National Grand Championships. I can picture him to this day in my mind.

In 2003 a young stallion in Tulsa stopped me in my tracks. My heart fell into my stomach. After catching my breath, I approached the trainer who was holding him, and asked if there was anyway that he was for sale. He politely told me that there was no amount of money that would buy this horse. I found out later that his name was Mountain Meadows Special Express and that he was a son of Mountain Meadows D's American Express. He went on to win National Grand Champion Stallion.

Then, again in 2006 there he was, Mountain Meadows Special Express (AMHR), aka Prince, winning it all again.

Lowell always said that once was not enough. Buckeroo did it three times. I feel that this son of Mountain Meadow D's American Express could do it again, easily.

We crossed the line.
