FOALS
Foaling-season 2026 has once again come and gone!! I am once again very excited about the quality of the foals born at Down The FENSKE Cow Horses this spring! Any of these foals will be capable of pursuing dreams as cowhorse, reining, cutting or ranch-horse prospects. I have a great group of top-quality mares who are great moms, so it is always exciting to see what foaling-season will bring!! This year we once again had one of Spooks Delta Dude's daughters in the broodmare band bred to an outside stallion, Valentines Hickory (Paint) as well as some exciting NEW girls to Spook's group also - not to mention our VERY FIRST Embryo transfer baby!!
If you are interested in any of my foals (or older prospects) please let me know & arrangements can be made to stop in and see them, or if you are further away, I can give you additional information and photos. For more information on my mares, each is also featured (including full pedigree) on “Mares” page.
For more day-to-day type updates throughout the year, also check out Spook's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/spooksdeltadude
Foals available from 2025 & earlier are now posted on the "SALE BARN" page
Spooks Delta Dude has been enrolled in the Saskatchewan Reined Cow Horse Stallion Incentive program & most recent years foals are eligible for Alberta Stock Horse Stallion Incentive program - making his colts eligible for nomination and some extra payout in the future
For Pedigree information on the mares please see the Mare page
“JILL” 2026 BAY SOLID FILLY Born April 3, 2026
SIRE: SPOOKS DELTA DUDE
DAM: (QH) MS PLAYBOYS CAT (x Bet Hesa Cat)
“JILL” is the result of the first ever embryo transfer for my breeding program which allowed me to have 2 foals from her biological dam. She may have missed the ‘fancy paint-job’ but she is definitely a FANCY-FANCY FINE filly with or without paint pattern!!! She has been keeping the crew at Elm on their toes with her ‘baby-cutting-horse antics’ but they do all agree that she’s as quick footed and catty as they come!!
Jill’s biological dam, MS Playboys Cat (“KC”) is new to my breeding program, but has produced a number of NRCHA money earners (& prospects) prior to coming to my program. I’m guessing this filly will fit right in among her siblings (both paternal & maternal) in the cow horse arena in a few years!!
KC also had a colt at home from this same cross on May 6, 2026, who came out with ALL the same potential and a whole lot more paint!!
“HICKTOR” 2026 BAY TOBIANO COLT Born May 5, 2026
SIRE: Valentines Hickory (Hickory Holly Time x Smartlittlevalentine)
DAM: DFN Spooks Belle Lena (Spooks Delta Dude x Elphabelena)
“Hicktor” is one of my most anticipated foals of the spring and after taking a year off last spring, for the first time in 3 tries, his momma Bella had some color on her baby!!! Still waiting for it to be a fancy-colored-up-filly I have on back-order but I’m definitely happy with the fancy colored up colt that she had this spring!!
LOTS of color and lots of very cool markings on this guy not to mention potential to burn!!! If he’s anything like his paternal brother I had last year this guy is going to go places indeed!!
Bella is sired by Spooks Delta Dude out of a daughter of Smart Aristocrat & was shown in her futurity/derby years to a tune of $6800 earnings (NRCHA & SCHA ranch cutting). Valentines Hickory has had a SUPER career in the NRCHA including competing in Worlds Greatest Horseman the last two years!! This colt arrived correct and strong with a good possibility of being Homozygous for Tobiano - it’s definitely going to be fun watching this guy fill out and grow up for sure!!
“JACK” 2026 Sorrel TOVERO COLT Born May 6, 2026
SIRE: SPOOKS DELTA DUDE
DAM: (QH) MS PAYBOYS CAT (BET HESA CAT x PR PLAYBOYS LEGACY)
“Jack” showed up with typical “Spook-foal” markings, with lots of white and one blue eye!! This is the first year for this cross, but I am super excited about the potential, having had great luck crossing the High Brow Cat lines with Spooks Delta Dude in past including the great DFN SPOOKY CAT.
This colt’s dam “KC” has in past produced a number of NRCHA competitors and prospects and this colt could definitely follow in their footsteps!! Jack is friendly and smart and came out strong, very correct & FULL of potential!!
He will be 6 panel N/N and will carry Tobiano T/N and splash (either SW1/N or SW2/N, with slight possibility of both)
Jack will be available to a select new home at weaning – a deposit will put your name on him until he’s ready to leave his momma. Preference given to a proven NRCHA home.
“WILLOW” 2026 Sorrel TOVERO FILLY Born May 9, 2026
SIRE: SPOOKS DELTA DUDE
DAM: SS WISP OF SMOKE (x Freckle Face Smoke)
Willow is the first FILLY from the daughters of Freckle Face Smoke I added to my herd a couple years ago. She arrived HUGE and very STRONG built and very fancy-fancy marked filly with blue eyes, but sorrel coloring around both eyes!! This filly has possibility of being Homozygous for Tobiano &/or SW1 (or possibly N/SW2) so DNA testing will be ordered. 6 panel N/N by parentage.
This filly has quickly become one of the favorites in the field & will be, at this point, retained for myself, as I would really like to keep some of these TOP APHA Cow Horse bloodlines in my herd for the future.
“BABE” 2026 Sorrel TOVERO FILLY Born May 10, 2026
SIRE: SPOOKS DELTA DUDE
DAM: SS SOMETHINGS SMOKEN (x Freckle Face Smoke)
Smoke foaled shortly before noon on Mother’s Day morning – what a treat!! She had a FANCY Sorrel Tovero FILLY with blue eyes!! “Babe” has a big color patch around one eye and very nice eye-liner around the other!!
This filly has the possibility of being Homozygous for Tobiano & looks to carry either SW1/N or SW2/N She will also be 6 panel N/N by parentage.
She’s built right, bred right, full of athleticism & potential & will definitely be valuable down the line in any APHA Cow Horse breeding program!!
She may be available to a perfect situation – please inquire if interested.
“DENNIS” 2026 BAY SPLASH COLT Born May 13, 2026
SIRE: SPOOKS DELTA DUDE
DAM: (QH) SMART LIL KIT (Smart Beckett x Hez A Peptospoonful)
“DENNIS” is a smart and fun little guy. Built to be an athlete and already full of mischief while being super-friendly and fun!! He’s definitely become the ‘character’ (or stalker) of the breeding pasture this spring!
Skittles has been in my breeding program for a number of years and has produced some really nice colts for me – including among others, a gelding in Pennsylvania, USA & a 2 year old colt in Colorado!!
This guy will have the build and brains to be a really cool ranch horse or cow horse prospect & has a unique look to him without all the white that some people don’t prefer!!
Dennis will be available to an approved home – deposit will hold until weaning!
“STREAK” 2026 SORREL TOVERO (MAX-WHITE) COLT Born May 21, 2026
SIRE: SPOOKS DELTA DUDE
DAM: (APHA) NO DIAMONDS FOR SAIL (Like A Diamond x Topsail Cody daughter)
“Streak” showed up in the fancy “Max-White” package and he’ll definitely look pretty cool streaking-around wherever he might end up. He’s already built like a tank and fun to be around!! This cross has always produced nice minded, easy to deal with colts, and this guy will be no different. In the right hands, this guy is going to be a super-star in a few years!! His breeding says reiner, which looks like would likely be his calling, but I’m guessing there might be some cow in there also if you’d like to try some cowhorse or something else with him!!
Streak will be available to an approved new home – a deposit will hold him for you until weaning. Please inquire for further info.
“PUDDY” 2026 SORREL TOVERO COLT Born May 30, 2026
SIRE: SPOOKS DELTA DUDE
DAM: (QH) ATHENA LIL PEP (Athena Puddy Cat x Mister Dual Pep daughter)
“Puddy” showed up in a fancy Tovero package that Spook’s offspring are well known for! This is cross that has in past produced talented, athletic and super sensitive and smart babies!! Puddy seems to be right on track with his older siblings!! In the right hands, this guy is going to be a super-star in a few years!! Other colts from this cross have sold into Alberta and Colorado and this young guy will surely follow in their footsteps.
Puddy will be available to an approved new home – a deposit will hold him for you until weaning. Please inquire for further info.
