- Hi,
-
- I'm Jan Whitmore. I live in Sherwood, Oregon and work at Intel in
- Aloha, Oregon as a mask designer (layout of integrated circuits). I sent
- some information to Brandy already, but I'm not sure if it got thru, since
- I do not post to any of the nets. I just read them.
- I, too, drove my parents crazy begging for a horse until I was 12.
- My dad said if I wanted a horse, I would have to take care of it and
- and use my berry picking money to buy it myself. That was fine with
- me. I have had horses most of the time since then. I had bad luck
- with the first few horses. The first one died of old age after about
- a month. (I learned a lot in that month.) The second one had been in
- one too many parades and got still in the front legs. The third one
- was skin and bones when we got her. I believe this early malnutrition
- caused her to go blind at age 8. I finally ran out of bad luck. I have
- had several horses since with no problems.
- Currently, I am raising black and white pintos. It all started
- when my son fell in love with a 3-in-one package called a pregnant
- black and white pinto mare with a return breeding. The first two
- babies are double registered pinto and half-Arab. Last year's baby
- is by a paint. So far all have been black and white. This year, we
- are expecting two babies. One from the original mare and one from
- the first baby who will be four this year.
- Pinto mare - Ondines Tehama - barn name Panda - pregnant
- bred to Paint an Empire - b/w paint
- 1st baby - Tehamas Magic Fire - barn name Magic - half Arab pinto 4 yo
- looks like an Arab with 50-50 black and white markings,
- black head with white star in middle of forehead
- Pregnant - Bred to Paint an Empire - b/w paint
- 2nd baby - Tehamas Oreo Cookie - barn name Oreo - half Arab pinto 3 yo
- Front fourth black, back half black with a white circle around
- her withers - kind of like and oreo cookie
- 3rd baby - Tehamas Iron Gypsy - barn name Gypsy - half paint (quarter
- horse) picture a white horse with black flank spots and a black
- mask with a white blaze - yearling - sire is Kenos Iron Horse
- She has been shown twice and is currently for sale.
- We also have two quarter horses (Slide and Humble) and an Arab (Rocky)
- that we ride. In the summer I use Slide for team penning. Occasionally,
- my son (Eric 17 yo) and daughter (Tiffany 19 yo) ride. In Dec.
- Tiffany went into the Air Force, so now its just Eric and me.
- I plan on selling the two babies this year and the yearling, Gypsy.
- Also I think Magic would be great in Pinto shows, when she gets trained,
- after her baby, this May.
- Sorry it got so long - I don't know where to stop
- Business name is JTE and Company - for Jan, Tiff, Eric and everyone
