    La Quinta certainly was the Regal Grand Dam of mares. Tess is so much like her mom :-)

    It is nice to see SX La Quinta still showing.. I have a daughter of hers by Promotion that is in foal to *Padron. I can't wait for that foal!

    Marci: Thank you for sharing these photos with us, and for letting us meet these very special horses when they were presented last weekend. This great mare, whose name is likely found on many arabian horse pedigrees today, was so regal and gracious while she was being presented. She's in wonderful shape, and is very satisfied with life. I felt like I was touching a bit of history when I got to meet her. You have such beautiful young horses there with all their youthful charm and exuberance. But, I think I had the most delight meeting the wise and experienced horses that day - legendary horses. A few of the older stallions certainly knew they had an appreciative audience and really enjoyed their day of glory - and deserve many more. Thank you and Best Wishes.

    Marci,
    So good to see these great old timers from the past, so many of the new people in the breed do not remember how great the foundation of the breed were. So great to see a few of them still around and looking good. Brings back all my memories of my long years at Mekeel's and all those great old mares.
    So looking forward to seeing your farm and the horses when I get back to Calif. in March 2003. Yes I will bring my camera, so get them ready.
    Bruce
