No Picture Available of Baby Button - This picture is of HOLLYWOODS NU JEWEL (A great, great grandaughter of Baby Button)
Sire: Buddy Bill (ROM Arena Prod Offspring) Dam: Cotton Foot DOB: 1958 |
Baby Buttons was one of the first five original horses purchased in 1971 by my Mom and Dad (Millard and Leona West). Buttons was a 1958 Buckskin mare whom earned a Superior in Western Pleasure, Amateur ROM, and was a Dam of ROM Arena. Buttons was a nice, big, beautiful, soggy mare. She was the mother of 3 of the original mares purchased (What A Baby, Tiki Tivio and Shapely Babe - see them on reference page). Her sire was Buddy Bill which is a full brother to World Champion Cutter Bill.
SNAKE DECK
(Pictured in 1972 as 3 yo)
|
Sire: Snakey Tivio (Superior WP)
Dam: Decka Lynn DOB: 1969 |
1969 Chestnut Stallion - purchased in 1971 - 15.3 hh, 1200#. "Deck" was our first stallion and you couldn't have asked for a nicer horse to be around. When we showed our horses, "Deck" rode up front in the truck (no horse trailer at that time) with all the mares tied right by him. Dad rode him on 4-H trail rides and ponied the little ones that just couldn't get their shetlands to move anymore. Deck's offspring had impeccable conformation with wonderful feet and legs. See Black Baby Deck, Tivios Mist (reference page) and Cocoa Mint Bar (reference page) to see some of his daughters.

WHAT A BABY
(Pictured in 1970 as 3 yo)
|
Sire: Snipper Reed (AQHA Ch)
Dam: Baby Button (Superior WP) DOB: 1967 Love this picture as this is my Dad (Millard West) that started LeMuir Farms along with my Mom, Leona! Miss them both ~~ |
1967 - Bay Mare - purchased in 1969. 15.2hh, 1000#. "Babe" was my Dad's favorite riding mare. She was not only gorgeous to look at, but she had a "rock you to sleep" ride. A trait that she passed on to all of her foals and even to her "grand foals", is the ability to talk to you. She, of course, would talk to you softly at feeding time but even when grooming her. If you stopped grooming, she would talk to you so you would continue. "Babe" was shown primarily in western pleasure classes, but she loved to work the cows on the ranch, as well. She is the dam of Black Baby Deck and Tivios Mist - see them on the reference page, too. Babe is a half sister (same mother "Baby Button") to Tiki Tivio and Shapely Babe.

DOLLY TIVIO
(Pictured in 1970 as 3 yo)
|
Sire: Snakey Tivio (Superior WP)
Dam: Dolly Harmon DOB: 1967 |
1967 Bay Mare purchased in 1969. This mare was Vickie's first registered show horse. The pair attended numerous youth AQHA shows, 4-H and open shows through the years. Dolly excelled in Halter, Showmanship, Barrels, Pole Bending and Reining. This mare loved speed, so pleasure classes were not her cup of tea - she needed to be in the front of the pack if you know what I mean!!! Rodeo and gymkhanas were also a big part of their life together. Dolly is the dam of Cocoa Mint Bar on the reference page. She is half sister to Snake Deck, Tiki Tivio and Shapely Babe. Dolly was a wonderful friend and she is missed dearly even to this day....we should all be so lucky to ride a great horse....

TIKI TIVIO
(Pictured in 1989 @ 21 years old w/ Kaleena on her back)
|
Sire: Snakey Tivio (Superior WP)
Dam: Baby Button (Superior WP) DOB: 1968 |
1968 Brown Mare. 15.1 hh, 1100#. Purchased in 1971. Another daughter of Baby Button. I can't say enough about this mare's disposition - she produced some beautiful foals for us. As you can see from the picture, Kaleena thought she was on top of the world on Tiki!!! Tiki is a half sister to Snake Deck, a half sister to What a Baby, and a full sister to Shapely Babe.

SHAPELY BABE
(Pictured in 1972 as 3 yo)
|
Sire: Snakey Tivio (Superior WP)
Dam: Baby Buttons (Superior WP) DOB: 1969 |
1969 palomino mare purchased in 1971. 15.0 hh, 1000#. Full sister to Tiki Tivio, Half sister to Snake Deck and Dolly Tivio on the top side, half sister to What A Baby on the bottom side. This was Vickie's other show mare......"Copper" and Vickie attended numerous AQHA youth shows as well as competed in 4-H and open shows. Copper was so good in Halter, Showmanship, Western Pleasure and Western Equitation. Just like her half sister "What A Baby", she had a rock you to sleep ride. Copper was au' natural!! natural headset and movement - didn't take anything to train her. Vickie, as a teenager, trained this mare herself after she had a 30 day start by a trainer - this indicates the ease of trainability of these old time horses. This mare was as sweet as they come - quiet as a church mouse - never demanded attention -she is dearly missed, too!

DOCTOR RIGHTFULLY
|
Sire: Rightfully (SI 108,12 wins $79,690)
Dam: Ms Docetta Bo (SI 87, 2 wins $3354) |
"Doc" was purchased when he was a weanling.....Again, we were blessed with a stud with a wonderful disposition. We rode him in the mountains every summer, and he was shown locally in Western and English. Doc was 16.1 hh and weighed approx 1200#. His get have extreme athletic ability. As you can see from his pedigree, he has lots of proven horses - ALL HORSES IN HIS FIRST FIVE GENERATIONS WERE EITHER PROVEN RACE HORSES OR PRODUCED RACE WINNERS!! Other horses back in his lineage are: Depth Charge, Moon Deck by Top Deck, Leo by Joe Reed II and Three Bars. Doc was sold in 2005 as we wanted to concentrate our breeding efforts on more performance bred horses. He was a great horse to be around!

MR POPCORN
|
Sire: The Corn Husker (AQHA Ch)
Dam: Sizzlin Copper Fox DOB: 1990 |
"Bo" was purchased as a 5 year old in 1995, and he produced some wonderful foals for us until he was gelded in 2005 due to sterility issues caused by steroid use for breathing issues. After he was gelded, we finally figured out that he was allergic to alfalfa!!!! Now he is fed strictly timothy hay or grass with grain and he is just fine - We don't have him as a stallion anymore BUT WE HAVE AN AWESOMELY TRAINED gelding - our grandson "Deion" loves to ride him when visiting. Even as a stud, he had a gentle spirit and disposition - he always wants to please! This disposition was passed onto his offspring along with his good looks!! See Lucky Baby Star Reed on the broodmare page and some of his get on the photo gallery to see what kind of horses that he produced. We love his lineage - many fine, fine horses - see his pedigree. He is now retired and hauling around all the little kids, or babysitting younger horses (especially the weanlings - they adore him!)

BLACK BABY DECK
(Pictured in 2010 as 29 yo)
|
Sire: Snake Deck
Dam: What A Baby DOB: 1981 |
Full sister to Tivios Mist. Pictures of Blacky were taken in April, 2010 - she is 29 years old in these pictures. The epitome of one great broodmare! This grand ole lady had her last foal in May, 2007. She produced another outstanding filly for us (Sugar for Chex) - this filly is by Chex Nu Jewel (reference page), which we will of course keep. We have two other mares by "Blackie" - see them on the broodmare page (Lucky Baby Star Reed and Whata Hollywood Babe). Blackie didn't have a weak bone in her body - she had perfect legs and feet even at her old age - she never required shoes (see leg pic taken @ 29 yo). She didn't have any unsoundnesses or blemishes - no lumps/bumps/or anything! There are no words to describe this mare - only the heart knows. Laid to rest at 31 years of age.

TIVIOS MIST
|
Sire: Snake Deck
Dam: What A Baby DOB: 1986 |
Full Sister to Black Baby Deck. We raised Misty and had 18 great years with this mare until she colicked and had to be put down. Misty was one of our favorites - always produced gorgeous babies (See Doll of A Dun It - broodmare page). Misty had a gorgeous head and conformation, and again we were blessed with a mare that had a superb disposition. She has some wonderful horses in her pedigree: Snipper Reed, Poco Tivio, Poco Bueno, Nug Bar, Three Bars, Oklahoma Star, King, Joe Reed and Buddy Bill (full brother to WC Cutter Bill). She is truly missed!
