We own 3 Buckeroo bred mares. One black grand-daughter, and two great grand-daughters (a grulla and a silver buckskin, sired by a son of Buck Echo- they are half sisters). It's terribly hard to choose a favorite... one I've admired for years, and finally got to call her mine last Monday. The second came to live with us a few years ago. And the third we purchased before she was weaned.
Because we've owned Missy the longest, I'll share her. She is 8 this year, and a grand-daughter of Buck Echo, making her a great grand-daughter of Buckeroo. She is a silver buckskin, and is very precious to us. She lost one of her eyes in a pasture accident as a very young foal, and is spoiled. She has foaled twice and we've tragically lost both foals (one didn't get out of the sac, and the other ate some mushrooms at 4 months old, and died of renal failure).
In memory of Echo, please make sure your babies don't have any mushrooms in their pastures. All it takes is such a small amount, and foals will try anything.
