KS Bluestem Bonnie B
(Kells In Kirby's Honor X KS Bluestem B
Mine)
Born: April 6, 2004
Bay filly - no white
Bonnie B is such a wonderful filly. She is
quiet in nature, a gentle soul and very much the image of
her dam, B Mine who is the daughter of Sweets B Bomb full
sister to our original mare Sweets Tonga. B Mine is the
product of a great dam line coupled with being out of the
stallion the beautiful stallion Osirus also know for lovely
dispositions. The product of this cross led to B Mine an
outstanding mare of whom herself is a gentle soul. B Mine
was broke to ride by a Pony Clubber just using a halter
for many months. She is 100% safe.
I only expect Bonnie B, daughter to B Mine to
follow in her dams footsteps. Bonnie B has a beautiful lovely
gait, inheriting her trot from her dam and that smooth canter
from her sire. Bonnie B would excel in the world of sport competition,
driving, 4-H or be an all around family using horse. She is
one we would love to retain and if she does not sell that is
what we plan to do. Bonnie B should mature 15.1-15.3, her dam
stands 15.3 and sire is 15.2. When mature she will be a class
act all the way, sporting the traditional Morgan color of bay,
no white. Her movement will be lofty and powerful............she
will turn a head for sure. She will be easy to train and honest;
a quiet but classy filly.

KS Bluestem Sweet Angel

Legacy)
Born: April 12, 2004
Filly, black-no white
Sweet Angel is a sweet as she can be. This
little filly is very correct and just beautiful. She is
also a mellow filly that is a gentle soul. This is Legacy's
second foal, we kept her first. Legacy is a full sister
to Roxanne is one of my favorite mares. When Sweet Angel
was born we thought we would keep her, she is that nice.
Sweet Angel was sold at two weeks of age and will find her
new home with the John Smith Family of TN. We are sure she
will make them one nice filly.
Sweet Angel just hours old.
KS Bluestem Sweet Angel.
Her first day of life begns with the education of survival. Her
dam encourages her to
climb the hill, although she is still unsure and shaky with life........after
resting and
multiple stops she succeeds. Dam and foal rest at the top.
Later in the day the new filly learns to cross water, she is
unsure her first day of life.
Heavy spring rains will soon change the disposition of this
serine water crossing
An accomplished healthy filly at the end of day one. She awaits
her day two adventure;
each day building on tasks and skills learned from previous
experiences; coupled
with what is taught to her from the herd elders.
Sweet Angel enjoying the company of visiting family members.
KS Bluestem W
(Kells In Kirby's Honor X Sweets Jada Babe)
Born: April 23, 2004
Black colt - no white
Sweets Jada Babe produces the most beautiful
offspring. This year she gave us an incredibly powerful
and beautiful black stud colt. At this time we are evaluating
him as a stallion prospect and is not for sale. If you are
interested in him contact us; we may be considering a lease,
partnership or other options with this one.
KS Bluestem Lady Ebony
(Kells In Kirby's Honor X D's Ebony Lady)
Born: May 1, 2004
Black filly - two white socks
Our old mare Ebony has given us another beautiful
filly! Fourth in a row. She like all of her siblings is
fearless, intellegent and highly trainable. She will not
be for sale as Ebony is an aging mare and we would like
to retain all of her fillies.
KS Bluestem Teaspoon
(Kells In Kirbys Honor X KS Bluestem Mabel)
Born: May 5, 2004
Black filly - white hairs on forehead
This year Mabel gave us a very small black
filly which we think was a twin. Mabel foaled in pasture
so we are unsure if she had only one foal or two. Teaspoon
may be little but she is as bold as she can be. She is fearless,
independent and highly trainable. She will probably mature
under 14.2 and will most likely fall into the "pony" category.
She has excellent movement and is as typy as she can be.
She would make and EXCELLENT driving prospect for the pony
division or make someone a smaller riding horse. Do not
let this one pass you by, she no doubt is a gem and a real
novelty. Do not let her size bother you as she has got the
heart, boldness and "plenty" of type, she is "all" Morgan.

KS Bluestem Prima Della
(Kells In Kirbys Honor X Sweets Cin Della)
Born: May 7, 2004
Bay filly - no white
Cin Della has given us another "beautiful"
bay. Prima Della is such a patient and lovely filly. She
has wonderful movement and learns very quickly. She will
make someone a wonderful mount or driving horse. She is
a perfect match for her sister KS Bluestem BlossumODella.
These two paired up would be "Gladstone" quality for sure.
I would like to see this filly sell as a pair with her sister.
Her sister is incredibly beautiful with huge doe eyes and
hooked ears. They do not come any prettier then this.

(Kell's In Kirby's Honor X Sweet's Jada
Babe)
DOB April 24, 2003
Brown filly
Jacqulyn is the image of her dam, Sweets Jada
Babe. Sweets Jada Babe is one of my favorite horses, her
beauty is stunning.
Jacqulyn, when grown, will be every bit as
stunning as her dam. She has a nice large eye, is wide between
they eyes and has lovely hooked ears. She has great movement
and is a quiet and gentle filly that will make a great family,
sport or western horse. No matter what Jacqulyn is used
for she will no doubt stand out in the crowd; as her beauty,
movement and disposition are all exceptional.

KS Bluestem BlossumODella
(Kell's In Kirby's Honor X Sweet's Cin Della)
DOB April 27, 2003
Bay filly
Blossom is one of the most athletic and beautiful
horses we have ever bred. Blossom has a lovely head with
a large eye, wide between the eye and hooked ears. She has
the Professor Berry head; a sign of kindness and intelligence.
Blossom is short coupled and quick on her feet. She has
an exceptional trot and a nice smooth canter. If someone
wanted to make a reining horse out of this filly I have
no doubt in my mind she would be Grand National quality
all the way. If used for CDEs; hang on as she will be in
and out of hazards in seconds; she is quick as a cat. Paired
with her sister Prima Della..well..now that is Windsor quality
all the way. Blossom will do what is asked and whatever
you want, she will shine no matter the discipline. I really
hate to see this one go, as she has won my heart.

DOB 21 April 2002
Black stud colt
Roxanne is one of our favorite mares. She
is 100% loyal and a true beauty. What a spectacular colt
she had for us this year!! I still can not believe she gave
us a black. We are thrilled. No matter where this foal stands
he is always correct and posing. He has little hooked ears
and a bold and positive personality. What a lovely cross
this is. Roxanne's boldness, cross country speed and movement
coupled with Puckett's graceful trot and smooth canter.
My feet still have not touched the ground I am so thrilled
with excitement over this one.
KS Bluestem Jada Jewel
(Kell's In Kirby's Honor X Sweet's Jada
Babe)
DOB 24 April 2002
Filly, unsure of color at this time 99% sure black.
Sweet's Jada Babe gave us a foal that is simply
beautiful. I call her a story book foal. She reminds me
of the little toy "horsy" dolls they sell little girls were
they can comb and brush the long manes. Or the animal characters
in story books with large eyes and long eyelashes. Her color
is extraordinary a silver gray that almost glows. Her eyes
almost a see through gray and they match her coat color
very simular to a cat. She is wide between the eyes and
sweet as she can be. She is a gem, a jewel, she is beautiful
and feminine as was the Princess Dianna. No doubt this foal
was nothing but a gift to us from the heavens above.
They were born the same day. Both fillies, both black, both
have personalities of tranquility and serenity, both bold,
both keepers. It was a cross I have wanted to combine for
a long time. The crossing of two different Herod lines.
Many, many years ago they came from the same source then
the lines separated. This breeding brought the two lines
back together again. The lines are of Herod blood, Archie
O/Rose Bay crossed with Blackwood Correll/Red Correll. Both
lines carry all of the Herod qualities I admire. These foals
so far have exibited the Herod qualities in spades. I keep
saying it but I have to say it one more time! Someone is
watching from above for we sure were blessed again with
these two fillies. Both will be named with the combination
of families they carry. Correll, Herod, Archie O, and Sweet's
blood.

DOB May 3, 2002
Bay stud colt
Mischief had a lovely bay this
year. This foal will be big and will be a sport horse for
sure. When he trots he already is reaching out and stretching
even at his young age. He has a wonderful loving personality
and is smart. Both foal and dam are sold and will be moving
to Florida.
KS Bluestem Prairie Storm
(Kell's In Kirby's Honor X KS Bluestem Mabel)
DOB May 5, 2002
Black stud colt
He was born at dusk in pasture approximately
two hours before the severe spring storm hit. He had enough
time to get up, nuzzle Mom, dry off a little and nurse.
The storm was severe, strong winds, lightning, thunder and
flash flooding. It was not an easy entry into life but it
was 100% natures way. The next morning and less then 24
hours old that foal had accomplished as much in life as
a seasoned trail horse. To my surprise his dam had brought
him to our pasture gate wanting to show off her new addition.
In bringing him home she had to cross steep muddy embankments
and a creek that was raging high and strong from the evenings
storm. How this foal newborn foal had even lived through
such a crossing was a miracle and amazing to me. It is from
his beginnings that we arrived at a name. He will be called
Black Cloud. These two photo's were taken right after birth
before the storm.
2001 FOALS
KS Bluestem Kansas Ranger
(Kell's In Kirby's Honor X Burchtree Roxanne)
DOB April 2, 2001
Kansas Ranger is a powerful bay stud colt.
This is Roxanne's first stud colt, so far all have been
fillies and all of her foals look the same. All powerful
foals with excellent bone, substance and dispositions. We
consider Roxanne to be one of our best mares. You can not
go wrong with a Roxanne baby. We are very, very excited
about this foal. He is extremly correct and will make a
very powerful Combined Driving horse, or whatever you would
like to use him for. He had been worked from birth just
like all of our foals and stands tied quietly, leads, side
passes, backs, and does a very nice turn on the haunches
or roll back. He is very athletic and will make someone
a very "beautiful" and "powerful" Morgan. He will mature
15.1-15.3.
KS Bluestem Prairie Gal
(Kell's In Kirby's Honor X KS Bluestem Mabel)
DOB April 29, 2001
Black, Filly, no white
Mabel has done it again, she has given us
the most beautiful black filly. We are going to call her
KS Bluestem Prairie Gal. She is just a week old now. She
is a very friendly filly and has already entered our kindergarten
basics. Watch for updates on Prairie Gal.
Pictured one day of age.
Kansas Two Step
(WAR Justin X Rainer's Mischief)
DOB April 15, 2001
Kansas Two Step is a large bay stud colt with
no white. He is a good looking foal and will have nice size
and substance to him. He also is a true single-footer. This
foal has yet to take a trotting step. If single-foot is
what you are looking for this is the one. He is a smooth
as they get. Something to watch.
KS Bluestem Jada Joe
(WAR Justin X Sweet's Jada Babe)
DOB April 4, 2001
Big Jada Joe is one really beautiful foal.
He has inherited his Dam's head and eye's. He will be a
VERY typey Morgan with very large eyes and have great width
between the eyes. Jada Joe's bloodlines coupled with his
beauty make him an EXCELLENT stallion prospect. If you are
looking to put old bloodlines, type, bone and substance
into your herd, Big Jada Joe is for you. This foal will
be awesome when he grows up. Big Jada Joe has been one of
my easiest foals for me to train to date. He is extremely
mellow and will do what ever you ask. He catches on REAL
fast. So far Jada Joe sidepasses, backs, does turns on the
haunches, picks up all of the feet and stands tied quietly
forever. We are still unsure of Jada Joe's color at this
time. We think he may be a black bay or brown. Jada Joe
carries no white. Let me tell you this foal is BEAUTIFUL!!!
KS Bluestem Apple Annie
(WAR Justin X Sweet's Justa Doll)
DOB April 10, 2001
How fortunate we are to get a beautiful little
filly out of Dan and Vickie Spurlock's mare Sweet's Justa
Doll. This little one is a REAL gem. We are still unsure
of Apple Annie's color at this time. We are thinking she
will be brown. She is a very sweet filly with a very gentle
disposition.
2000 FOALS
KS Bluestem Racing Redbud
(Kell's In Kirby's Honor X Burchtree Roxanne)
Both sire and dam are broke, safe, and worked
by all our family members to include children, and are of
Old Midwest Foundation, "Using Lines", which are rich in
the blood of Herod.
Racing Redbud is a filly, born April 8, 2000,
solid bay, should mature 15.1-15.3, she carries excellent bone
and substance. Her temperament is excellent, very friendly,
mild in nature, not high strung and easy to train. Racing Redbud
is an EXCEPTIONALLY nice bay filly. She has inherited all of
her "Mom's" good characteristics. She is remarkably easy to
train, as she has been trained and worked from day one. We do
not call it "Imprinting" at Kansas Bluestem Morgans we call
it "Using Them". Right from the start, right from day ONE!!!.
We by no means work them hard or push them to much, but they
learn all about life and how to behave from the start. Bluestem
Morgans are "worked and used" from birth and never know any
different. Even if it is only standing tied patiently for one
hour, this is still training. How many horses have you seen
that will not stand tied patiently?? Well, our feelings exactly.
So we start them early and it is ingrained. Exceptional behavior
is the rule rather then the exception to the rule. Training
is second nature to them and they LOVE their lessons. In the
photos you will see Racing Redbud sidepassing and doing a very
nice turn on the haunches or roll back. She was FOUR weeks old
in the photo. She also stands tied for many hours at a time
quietly and patiently. Redbud picks up all her feet, line drives,
side passes, does turns on the haunches, backs, has been saddled,
etc.. This little girl is 100% and knows nothing else. She is
a two year old in a weanling body. All she needs is a little
time to grow and you will have one outstanding horse. Racing
Redbud has been raised in the Flinthill pastures of Kansas,
she can run to her hearts content, has never been stalled and
has been raised with a herd. She has learned respect from her
elders. She must cross ravines, gullies, and creeks daily. She
has already learned the art of "Trail Riding" on her own at
a very young age. This line is noted for being bold, sound,
of good substance, and having exceptional feet and legs. These
Morgans are in your face people loving horses. One of my qualities
that I place second behind a good "Mind", is that cross country
better get there today, walk and trot. This little filly has
inherited both the good "Mind" and the cross country walk and
trot. These horses are very versatile and excel in and have
been used in disciplines such as driving (both pleasure and
combined), trail, 4-H, jumping, Pony Club, polocrosse, western,
english, dressage, ranch work etc.. This is not a high strung
line, just using horses of an Old Midwestern Foundation lines.
Lines that have been bred specifically for usability. Racing
Redbud will be a mount that is both quiet and classy. Racing
Redbud is priced at $1,500.
Racing Redbud sidepassing at 4 weeks. Notice in photo
she is crossing over in the front very nicely. Although I would
not call this sidepass the best, she does do better ones. Just not
caught on camera.
A photo of Racing Redbud doing a nice roll over the
haunches. Notice her rear haunches are planted and she is rolling
over, performing a nice roll back. She is very light on the reins,
and extremely athletic. Pictured at 4 weeks of age.

KS Bluestem Buffalo Gal (Kell's In Kirby's
Honor X KS Bluestem Mabel)
(Mabel is a full sister to Racing Redbud's dam Roxanne)
Again both parents are broke, proven safe and worked by all
our family members to include children and are of Old Midwest
Foundation using lines. This foal is a "Superior" little filly.
Born in the Flinthill pastures of Kansas, a large foal with
curly black locks like a Buffalo, hence her name Kansas Bluestem
Buffalo Gal. Buffalo Gal is solid black, born May 2, 2000,
she should mature 15.1-15.3. She is an exceptionally "Friendly
Filly", with a very placid, easy going personality. She for
sure is a horse that will bond with its owner and give 100%
or die trying. Buffalo Gal, since birth, also has been worked
"Used/trained" and raised in pasture and in the same fashion
as Racing Redbud. (See Racing Redbud's write up) Buffalo Gal
side passes, ties, line drives, backs, trailers, picks up
all her feet, saddles. I really do not want to sell this foal.
I consider her a real "Keeper". My husband said I must sell
her and I agree she must go. She has the training and knowledge
of a two year old, has bone and substance that will carry
anyone anywhere without a problem. She also has inherited
the cross country walk and trot that will get you there FAST,
and with this sweeping speed comes the mild mind that will
do this Quietly, Safely, and Sanely. Again of an Old Midwest
Foundation line, bred specifically for sensibility and usability.
I hate to see this one go.
Our beautiful black gem, Buffalo Gal, at
one day of age. A beautiful large boned filly with black curly locks
of hair. The disposition of a gentle soul.

KS Bluestem Classy Boy a full brother to Buffalo Gal. He
is pictured here at 12 months of age with his owner, Sherry
Davis. As you can see he is quite handsome and will have lots
of size and substance. He also was trained as a small foal in
the same fashion as Racing Redbud and Buffalo Gal and has retained
all of his training. This early training has given Sherry's
horse a superb foundation and the building blocks to make her
an exceptional and lifelong sane and sound "Using" mount. Again
a fine example of our Old Midwest Foundation lines bred specifically
for sensibility and usability.
