DOWN THE FENSKE

ATHENA LIL PEP

ATHENA LIL PEP  aka "SOFIE" arrived at the ranch fall of 2019.

Sofie is a QH daughter of ATHENA PUDDY CAT (x High Brow Cat) and out of a daughter of MISTER DUAL PEP.  As we watch the "CAT" lines cross so nicely with Spook, it seemed like she'd make a nice addition to my pasture!! 

She already had at least one of her colts hitting the show-pen in the cutting arena, so we were excited to see what she would produce when crossed with Spook & she certainly did not disappoint!!  In spring 2022 she foaled very fancy tovero colt that was built right with a great mind to go along with it!! Her 2023 Filly did not disappoint either and sold to a great home in Colorado. If she continues to produce babies like these, there is no doubt this will become a sought-after cross for sure!! 

Sofie was bred to Spook again for a 2026 baby expected in May 

DFN SPOOKS BELLE LENA aka “BELLA”

Bella begins the very exciting ‘next phase’ of the breeding program being the first of Spooks Delta Dude's daughters entering the breeding herd!! 

Bella had a very successful show career with over $6800 in earnings, most of which was in NRCHA competition with some in ranch-cutting.  Although she could have carried on in the show pen I was also excited to have her in my broodmare band & at this point that is very likely where she will stay! 
Bella has had 2 very nice colts in 2023 & 2024 with the great Cats Picasso & was left open for 2025

I'm excited to have her currently in foal to another great APHA Cow Horse, Valentines Hickory, for a 2026 baby

SMART LIL KIT - aka "Skittles"  AQHA #5383326

Skittles arrived at the ranch in fall of 2015 and joined the broodmare band in the breeding pasture in spring of 2016

A cute little mare with some rabacino markings and ALTHLETIC written all over her, she seems to just bounce around the pasture, with what I think I'd describe as intensity at all times. With a pretty impressive pedigree that is "cow" through and through, we have been nothing short of impressed with her foals so far, and we're even more excited to see how they work!  

Skittles first foal was a VERY FANCY Bay SPLASH COLT who had everybody who saw him drooling right from day one!! "Chrome"  (DFN GOTTALOTTA CHROME) is now living in a great show-home in Pennsylvania USA & he has been burning up the show circuit down there !!  Skittles had a carbon-copy in 2018 who sold at weaning to Langley BC & has been producing some very nice offspring for me ever since.

Skittles was exposed to Spook for spring 2026 with what I'm sure will be another stunning prospect!! 

Thanks to Ken Anderson for the opportunity to add this cute mare to my herd
