Strong-line Royal Rose Footprint
CBUS # 13499


This is the kind we like, no matter what the breed!

Strong-line Royal Rose Footprint and
Nichol of Shir-Shire Farms

"Rosie"
Sire:  Mac Rene Bobby Footprint
Dam:  Strong-Line Duchess
1988  registered black Clydesdale mare.   17.3hh (barefoot), Broke to ride and drive.  This is a nice looking gal, with a disposition that can't be beat.  She is a very nice build for riding, and is smooth and comfortable at the trot and canter.  Rose has even done gaming events, like barrel racing!  In her halter days, she beat some of the best Clydesdales in the country and took numerous championships!  Rose is broke to drive single and double, and has cleaned up in the ring in both types of classes.  
Why do we have a Clydesdale?  When a horse is as nice as Rose, we can't disregard her because of the papers she carries!  Foals by Rose and our English Shire Stallion will be properly registered with the Shire Horse Society in England.

(Thank you to J. Wilcenski for getting us lots of pictures of Rose in her show-days!)

Here is Rosie-girl in 1999 at her first, ridden horse show.   That's Nichol of Shir-Shire Farms aboard.


Rosie has a tendency to make heads turn!


Rosie and Nichol head out to get their ribbon, leaving the "little horses"  in the dust :>)
