Merit's Top Hand aka Paint Mare, my riding mare who inspired the name of our ranch (see the story on the home page)

I like how her forelock makes her star into a heart.

Doing the anthem is a lot of fun with a great horse like Paint...

Tophand's Tru Justice is Paint Mare's first foal, a colt by the stallion Tru Vanity born April 2003.  Although both parents have a star and a snip, he ended up with a big blaze.  Other than the triangle on his right side, he looks a LOT more like daddy than mama!

Tophand's Truly Lunar aka Luna is Paint Mare's second foal by Tru Vanity, a 2005 filly who surprised us by being solid.  However both Tru Vanity and Paint Mare have solid quarter horses in their background, so we figure she looks like her granny... The crescent moon on her forehead gave us her name and is her only white marking - she doesn't even have any socks!

Still wet                            1 day old, trotting!

She's so tiny!                   Trying to stand

 Luna helped mama do the anthem - 3 months old

Under construction - please check back!!
