2008 Sale Horses
Our Straight Russian
colts for sale:
Straight Russian horses need no introduction, and no
bragging. If you've ever seen one, you won't forget. Here is your chance to
obtain a straight Russian colt at a reasonable price.
It is with
much soul searching that we are offering our senior stallion, Paradoxx,
for sale. Paradoxx is the epitome of what we strive for in our Russian
breeding. He is a massive coming five year old, and a gorgeous dapple grey. He
is over 15.3 and will wear a size 2 shoe. He is truly an
outstanding horse and
really needs to be in a place where he will be used. We just don't have the number
of mares to breed to him to justify keeping such a horse. He needs to go where he
will be used, at a larger breeding facility and/or where someone will show him sporthorse
in hand. He is far too good of a horse just to 'waste away' at our small
facility. Price is not as much of a consideration as a place where he will be
used. We will reserve two breedings a year. See NAALO below as his first
offspring.
Paradoxx has gone to the Royal Palace
in Jordan! I think he will show his real potential under Princess Alia Al Hussein's
capable ownership!
NICKOLAII 3-14-05.
Big chestnut gelding by KRAKOW out of THE ONE IMENT (*Menes x *Pesniar
dtr). He is very correct, and very brave. Full brother to Nockout.
Nickolaii is 14.3 3/4h. He
has excellent manners and loves people. Nikki is not a
spooky horse and is very big boned. He is broke to ride and is very sensible
and easy going. We just love to work 
with this horse
because he is so lovable and willing to learn! He will make an excellent 100 mile
horse because he is so laid back and calm. At age 3 1/2 he has already done some
slow trail work and likes to go out front with a fast walk and no spooks! He will be
ready to do slow 25s next spring! $4000
Introducing NAALO!
Born 2-25-07, Naalo is going to be big and has a 
gorgeous
head. He
is out of the One Iment, so he is a half brother to NOCKOUT and NICKOLAII but he is by
PARADOXX, our grey 15.3+ h Russian stallion! Photos at day 4. See bloodstock
for more information on the parents. This colt is huge and is going to be
outstanding. Because his sire is now in Jordan, we have
decided to keep this colt.
These
outstanding horses are now ready!
We will be sad to see
them go, as they have been so much fun to ride and train, but alas, this is what we do;
match up great horses with great owners!
FINALLY!
Firedance Farms has a new gelding ready!
JM CEST LA VIE Vie
Vie is a gorgeous six year old half arabian half
saddlebred 15.1h chestnut gelding. His sire is pure Polish (Cognac son out of a
*Perkal daughter). He has wonderful gaits and is very smooth! Vie Vie has done
three 25 mile rides, all with different riders, and he did great! He has a
beautiful headset and loves to go out on trail. As much as we love riding this
horse, we realize he is now ready for his new partner. Warning! Vie Vie
insists that you will be his best friend! He just loves attention and fights for the
halter when we go in the pasture! Vie Vie would do very well for someone who likes
to do various disciplines with their horse: arena, endurance, and competitive trail.
He is not a big boned horse and would do well in warm, humid climates. Breeders
Sweepstakes. $5000
VDF GHAZIS OPAL: Opal is a
very game horse and is ridden by Bruce (tacks in at 215). She has done several
limited distance rides and done very well. She finished Bluebonnet 25
"only trotting and walking" in 2:59.
Bruce could not believe his time! Opal is a 15.3+h mare by the Great
Dutch Harness Horse, Orlando, and out of an Al Ghazi Arabian mare. She loves people
and will bond with you very well. She likes men. Opal is a big boned mare but
not a stocky mare. She is well broke and has a very nice headset and loves to do
arena work! She would knock the socks off sporthorse and dressage judges!
Opal is a level headed horse and a lot of fun to ride! The DHH gives her big
bone and
size but not bulk, and an
awesome walk and trot! This horse can really drive off the rear! Opal is 5 and
is ready for her first 50. Look at the potential this horse has in dressage,
eventing, or multidays! Breeders Sweepstakes. $6000 Too late! Opal has found an
excellent match with Jill Hill DVM, of PA!
Luv On The Rocs: This horse
is for the serious endurance rider who wants a multiday/100 mile horse or to be
competitive in 50s. Roxy is a beautiful 7 yr old 15.2 1/2h+ bay
mare. She is very smooth, and surefooted. She
is by SA Hudson Bey out of a saddlebred mare (JRs Last Love). She is a registered
NSH and 1/2 Arabian. Roxy has excellent conformation, and a great back.
Did I mention SMOOTH? She has a super fast walk and will be an excellent 100
mile/multiday horse. We have done three 50 mile rides on Roxy and she is
excellent! Roxy isn't a spook and loves to go! She is very tough
and very competitive. She also shows a lot of talent for eventing. If you
are a sensitive rider who is willing to ask instead of demand she will be your lifelong
partner who will take you to the end of the Earth! Breeders Sweepstakes. $5000.
Melissa Powers of FL has snatched Roxie up! May she
have endless trails with this great mare!
POSEIDON
BAY: I know a lot of our friends will be
shocked
to see Posey on the sale page! And yes, we've had him a long time, and he is the
best horse ever! But Bruce has done 1000 miles of slow 50s on him and with all the
young ones we have now, he doesn't have time to do Posey justice. Poseidon is ready
to start doing multidays and 100s or go faster and Bruce prefers to ride the young ones!
Also, Posey sires such fantastic babies and since we only breed straight Russian
horses, we don't use him on our mares. We'd like to see him go somewhere where he will
sire more foals and be ridden more competitively. Posey is a very well behaved
stallion and currently lives on 8 acres. And because he is homozygous and sires such
excellent foals, it should not be hard to recoup some of your investment this spring!
Please see his webpage for more photos and information go to POSEIDON BAY $7500
with reserved breedings Poseidon is
going to CALIFORNIA! He is now proudly owned by Liz Masters of Aguanga CA!
Liz will be standing him at stud and also racing him! We sure will be sad to
see him leave, but it is a great opportunity and I know you mare owners in CA will be
happy! He sires incredible foals! Contact Liz aercrider1@hotmail.com
MD VIRGO:
wow, this colt is awesome! He is truly 16h and 
he is will be 4 this summer! He is a gorgeous purebred
of a Polish/American mix. He is green broke, very willing to learn, and just loves
to be goo-gooed over. "Go-go" is already excellent on trail with no spooks
and willing to go over anything! He is tall, but he is not as big boned as the two
mares 
above. He has
beautiful smooth gaits and an excellent back. I've never seen an Arabian his size
with such outstanding conformation. Breeders Sweepstakes. $5000 OK SE Region, you are going to have one great competitor in a few years!
Diane Hawthorne of FL has snatched him up already!
Too Late for these great
horses! They have found excellent homes and you will have to compete against them!
Ground Zero:
This horse is amazing! We
knew he
would be good, but we didn't realize how good! Ground Zero is half saddlebred and
half Arabian and is huge; a true 16.1 and has beautiful movement. He can trot like
the wind. Zero has shown himself to be outstanding in endurance, having completed a
30 mile ride and two slow 50 mile rides with incredible recoveries! We know he is
going to be 'one of the stars' and he is only 5! Of course, being a saddlebred/Arab
cross, he is super fun to ride and loves to go! You will definitely fall in love
with this horse! I will sure be sad to see him go, as he's my favorite to ride, but
he needs a best friend who will take it slow and bring him on to be a star!
Breeders Sweepstakes. $7500 Ground Zero has been
purchased by Alia Al Hussein in Jordan! We are very excited for his overseas
endurance experience!!
Maid of
Mischief: We bought this horse to put in our program because
we saw the outstanding potential in her. Amber
hates to sell
her, as she reminds her of her great mare, FfireStorm+/. Mischief is beautiful and
TOUGH! Her first 50 was June 9th, where over half of the horses did not finish!
She also placed 5th at Unicorn Hunt 50 Sept 1st. She will make an outstanding
multiday horse or 100 miler! She is perfect to handle on the ground, and very well
mannered on trail. She is not a spooker and loves to go. Mischief is a
registered 3/4 Arabian 1/4 Saddlebred. She is also a registered pinto and
sweepstakes nominated. She is 10 and 15.1. If you want a very lovable mare who
is tough and can go the distance, Mischief is the one! She is pure joy to
ride! Mischief is ready to do 50s and a multiday NOW. Liz Masters from CA has bought a second Firedance Farms horse! May
you have many happy miles together! Feel free to e-mail Liz about buying a horse
sight unseen from the Burtons! aercrider1@hotmail.com

Romance of the Rose: 5 yr

so excited to find this filly, we had to put her in our program to make sure she goes to a
great endurance home! This is a beautiful mare who has excellent gaits and is brave
like her father! She has not had the opportunity to do a limited distance ride yet,
but is ready! Rose is 11/16 Arabian, 3/16 Saddlebred, and 2/16 Paint. She is
both a registered half Arabian and registered Pinto. We have been most impressed
with this mare. Rose has found her partner!

NOCKOUT:
3 yr old colt. (Krakow x The One Iment) see bloodstock.
*Muscat/Menes grandson. Half brother to Nixx and Nitroxx. 14.3.
This is a really nice colt. He is very big boned and a real powerhouse! He is
not tall, but he is big, and suitable for a heavyweight rider. Nockout would also
excel as a reining horse, as he is built to turn and move! Nockout has a wonderful
disposition. He is very calm and willing to please. We want to get these
straight Russian colts out to new areas in the United States to promote the wonderful
Russian bloodlines! Too late! Nockout is going to
Roxxane Batt,DVM, and John Schneider who now reside in Prescott AZ! Roxxanne says do not
hesitate to e-mail her about Firedance Farms horses! roxvet@aol.com
PKH Spottlyte: 3 yr old 1/2 Arabian and 1/2 Saddlebred.
15.1+h. Spottlyte has good solid bone and beautiful gaits. I picked
Spottlyte out because he was one of the most beautiful pinto Arabians I had ever
seen, and he has
turned out to be more than I had ever hoped for, as he is gentle and very willing to
please. Currently in training and doing great. Breeders Sweepstakes as
well! Too
Late! Sandra Bartsch of
CA has already snapped him up! sandra@sbeventprod.com

Russian gelding by Madison Avenue x The One Iment. Full brother to Nitroxx and half
brother to Nockout and Nickolaii. 14.3 1/2h. Nixx is an
outstanding horse. He's very calm and willing to
please. He has excellent conformation and is going to be a great 100 mile
horse. He's done one limited distance ride last week, and missed BC by a few
points! We've taken this horse all over the place and he never 'bats an eye'!
If you are serious about endurance and want a calm, well behaved horse, Nixx is the 
one! He is a fabulous tribute to our Russian breeding
program, and the lucky owner is guaranteed to fall in
love! Congratulations to

Rock Ser 8 yr old 15+h bay gelding. Wonderful blend of Russian,
Polish and Crabbet breeding. *Mellon(Celebes) grandson
out of a Straight Russian ganddam. This is an upright, big
boned gelding suitable for a heavier rider. He is super savvy on trail, not a
spooker, and loves to go! This is a very tough horse and will excel on tough trails.
Look at the power in this horse!! He will take you as far as you want to go! Eagle
did his first 50 June 11th in 103 temp and did excellent with a HW rider! He would
have been my choice to ride the Big Horn 100, but we did Ft. Stanton instead!

MT. Watch out next spring, NW and MT regions! Drin says do not hesitate to ask her
about Firedance Farms horses! jkn3444@smtel.com

matchmaking works! They did their first 100 together last fall! susankeil@yahoo.com
MORE THAN FAITH
6 yr old grey BY GOLLY
SON. 15+h. This horse has a very interesting pedigree.

first American registered horses! He has a beautiful extended
trot but he loves to run! His only LD ride Dec. 31 and placed 10th out of 65
with Bruce (HW). Bruce said "I wasn't trying; he just passed everyone at the
vet check!" "Frosty" is a stunningly beautiful
white horse that just loves to go! He is a very tough horse; a characteristic which we
have found extremely important. He's also just the nicest horse, and loves nothing
more than to go out on trail! update: Frosty has proven on his first 50
Feb 11th to be the high caliber horse serious competitors are looking for.

friend of Tom and Rita Swift, has bought this horse. So, NE riders, you are SUNK!! j.poling@hotmail.com

He is a very tall horse, but not a very big horse. Outstanding conformation.

should do very well in the half Arabian division! He moves like glass, and is super
sensitive to your cues. He has
done two 25s and three slow 50s this spring, although he
managed to top ten every one! He loves to go down the trail and has a great
walk. He is the perfect multiday hot weather horse for a light weight rider.
