Colorada con Brio KCA
("Dot")
S old at 2009 Horse Expo Sale
‘Dot’ is a 5 yr old, 14.2hh line-back bay mare. She is very personable, with magnificent style and action.
She has that super smooth, ground eating walk that Kigers are renowned for and all horsemen dream about.
She
is truly a horse ‘con Brio’ (with heart). Her bloodlines include double bred Kiger Diamond Rio O106-W and Wallowa Kiger 001-W.
She has a lot of cow and will make a wonderful trail/ranch, performance or endurance horse and then an excellent brood mare.
She is riding well and will be started down the trail and on cattle
soon.
Gets along great with other horses, trailers, stands quiet, etc. Less then 5% of all Kigers are born Bay, great opportunity for mounted patrol or law enforcement to own a Bay Kiger.

Kiger Mountain Fandango,
aka "Smokey"
|
 |
| February 2009: Yadao Inong is the proud owner of Kiger Mountain Fandango
KCA who he now calls Smokey. Smokey aka Fandango was one of the wild Kigers
Sue adopted and the last grullo. Yadao who lives in Northern California has
a lot of experience with mustangs, especially Kigers. He is so happy with
the foundation training that was done here at KCA and Smokey/Fandango's
temperament, he said that both his father and the kids are all fighting over
whose horse Smokey will get to be after fully trained. |
Wallowa’s Mountain Rebel: “Rebel”
|
 |
|
Michele Harris of Placerville, CA. had no idea how her life would change when she called on an ad posted about a Kiger for sale in December,
2003. A stunning captive bred medium grullo colt, he immediately swept her off her feet as only a Kiger could do. His calm disposition made the training transition from un-broke colt into
reliable trail mount easy. Michele now uses Rebel for trail riding and an occasional show. |
Leroy “Bud”
|
A year after Michele purchased Rebel; her husband Andy made the find of the century when he acquired Bud, an un-started colt from the Oregon
ranch in the fall of 2005. Another medium grullo gelding, he and Rebel are half brothers. Fortunately, he has a small star or you could not tell them apart.
His disposition mirrors that of Rebel, as he is very patient and kind. Andy enjoys trail riding on Bud thru the Sierra foothills. When he and Michele take these 2 boys trail riding
with Eli and Smoke, every horseman in the area stops to drool. |
Wallowa’s Fancy Lass “Classy”
|
 |
Owned by Karen Pardee of Sacramento, CA. Classy remains one of our favorites. Her name sure fits,
with classic bloodlines, excellent dun factor markings and very stylish carriage, this little honey dun mare has it all. She is destined to be
Karen’s next Search and Rescue mount. |
Wallowa’s Mountain Shadow “Shadow”
|
 |
| When Pam Perdue of West Sacramento, CA purchased Shadow in Spring 2006, she knew this filly was destined to be a real head turner. A gorgeous grulla mare, she will be 15 HH before all her growing is done.
With a sweet, sensible personality, she has really come into her own with Pam. Shown in Halter, English and Western, she is tough to beat.
This is evidenced by her winning the Halter Mares - Open competition at the 2007 National Kiger Show (Kigerfest). With her confident and reliable personality, Shadow is destined to be Pam’s next Search and Rescue mount as well as a tough contender in the show ring. Pam often trains with Sue at the KCA training facility and rides on the trail when
she has the opportunity. |
Wallowa’s Mountain Storm- “Chico”
|
Chico is now owned by Pinie Minto of Elk Creek, CA. Brought down from Northern Oregon in 2006 with Maverick and Bud, it was a toss up which of the 3 Eli would keep as his
own horse. One of his favorites, this dark grullo gelding has a personality and willingness to please that most horseman only dream of. An owner of several other beautiful Kigers, Pinie is
enjoying Chico’s natural ability as a working cow and ranch horse as well as a trail companion. |
Billy Brio KCA “Billy”
|
Teresa Trull of Lincoln, CA purchased Billy as soon as he stepped off the trailer in September, 2007. He is a captive bred, medium grullo gelding with heavy dun factoring and a ‘What can I do for you?’ attitude.
Teresa
is a
well known horse trainer, clinician and singer both in the United States
and in New Zealand.
She has just opened a Tack company in New Zealand called "Kiwi Buckaroo" selling fine Buckaroo gear and McCall Saddles. Billy’s training has been the finest possible. Within a month of capture she was riding Billy with Buck Branaman on the plains of Wyoming. |
Kiger Cisco Kid KCA (Cisco)
|
Amber Mecum of Sacramento, CA. has let this little colt steal her heart. Cisco is a wild caught med grullo Kiger gelding captured from the Riddle HMA as a yearling in
November, 2007. His very distinct markings and lively curious temperament is sure to make for a wonderful companion horse. Amber plans to use him for trail riding and camping expeditions. Her young son sees him as his future 4-H horse. Cisco is currently in training at our KCA facility in Lincoln. |

select horse sale at the Western States Horse Expo to celebrate the KMA 20th
Anniversary. Susan did an outstanding job training and fitting her. Sshe
definitely stood out from the crowd. She is a 100% foundation, honey dun
