SS Doc's Premonition

Pearl held out on us a few weeks longer than we expected her to this year, but she finally presented us with a very nice colt. His momma has been a bit overprotective of him so we haven't handled him much yet, but when we did he was curious and friendly. Once Pearl settles down again, we expect this little guy to be another pocket pony like his dam usually is when she's not busy trying so hard to be a wonderful mother.

This gorgeous little colt isn't quite as colorful as we hoped for, but Pearl has been DNA tested as a perlino so this little guy has to be either buckskin or smoky black, despite his bay appearance. Since Pearl's last filly went through a similar phase and looked chestnut as a newborn before lightening up to smutty palomino, we expect this little guy to lighten up with his foal shed into a very nice smutty buckskin.

We let Pearl's previous owner name her colt, and they chose the name SS Doc's Premonition. We've decided to call him Docster for short, after his sire's call name. Going by his hip and chest this little guy ought to easily have the bulk to be able to show at halter against Quarter horses and win, and with the pedigree behind this little guy he should have a lot to offer as a performance horse, too! His sire, Prescription for Lena (aka Doc, at stud at Double S Ranch in Angleton, Texas), is an own son of the APHA Supreme Reining Horse and ROM Jr Working Cowhorse stallion Flying Little Lena and grandson of both Doc's Prescription and Smart Little Uno (by Smart Little Lena) with multiple ROMs in working cowhorse in his close-up pedigree, which also includes several reining and cutting champions and even a few Hall of Fame horses. This colt's pedigree is packed with enough dynamite to make him a serious competitor in the show ring!

This colt should mature to be a large pony or small horse in the 13 to 14 hand range, and has the pedigree, conformation, and flashy markings to be a great all-around prospect and potential herdsire.

 

Update:

Docster is shedding off to a caramel shade of buckskin and shaping up into a really nice, stocky colt with spectacular conformation. He hasn't yet had any training or fitting in these photos... This is all natural! Docster is muscling up like a tank, and squares up on his own much of the time. This little guy is a serious halter prospect!

We'd really like to see this one go to a show and breeding home! Docster's older half-sister, SS Whisper Of Gold, is owned by Reba Callahan and was recently shown by her daughter Amy to win PtHA Reserve World Champion Pleasure Pony filly at halter. Whisper was bred by Double S Ponies of Angleton, Texas, and is by our stallion's sire, JF Apollo Skyflight, and out of Docster's dam, our perlino mare String of Pearls, so needless to say we've been very interested in her show career! Docster definitely has the potential to follow in his older half-sister's footsteps, and is a deluxe halter prospect that should be a terrific performance horse when he matures.
