Blue Jack McKeag (Blue) is a 2001 true Blue Roan Foundation bred Ranch horse. He has the black muzzle, black mane & tail and all black points. He is true blue all year round. He carries the foundation bloodlines of Baron Bell, McKeag, Joe Quincy and Sir Quincy Dan. Blue was born and bred on the Froelich Ranch of North Dakota. In their over 50 years of raising Quarter Horses Froelich's motto has been "horses with disposition, colour, conformation, ranch raised in big country." Blue definitely fits every one of those criteria and then some. Froelich's entire program is based around their great foundation sire, the blue roan Joe Quincy son - McKeag. McKeag is renowned for producing big bodied horses that are still refined and have a lot of class. They also have tremendous temperaments. Blue is not only by an own son of McKeag but his dam traces to this great stallion as well. Blue's sire is Blue Star McKeag, the stallion chosen to replace McKeag and continue this top family of using horses. His colts are known for their easy going attitude, tremendous bone and heavy muscle. Blue's dam is sired by Real Baron Jack who was bred and raised by the all time leading breeders of AQHA Champions - the famous Pitzer Ranch. Real Baron Jack's daughters are known for being tremendous producers, so consequently Froelich Ranch has kept back a large number of his daughters to stock their broodmare band. It is worth noting that Real Baron Jack is a full brother to the AQHA Champion and Superior Halter horse Red Baron Bell. Red Baron Bell is also the sire of the AQHA Super Horse and one of the all time leading AQHA sires Mr. Baron Red. Blue has the real Quarter Horse head, a big powerful hip and tremendous bone. He is very intelligent and tries to please. Blue's disposition is absolutely second to none, they just don't come any quieter than this stallion. What really makes Blue Jack McKeag stand out above the rest are the offspring that he produces. Blue - like all the producers in his pedigree is a very prepotent sire stamping all these characteristics into his offspring that his family is famous for. To show our customers just what Blue is doing we brought up two fillies by him that we are more than pleased with. Recently when we were in the U.S. we saw a young stallion by Blue who had just been sold to Mexico, they just don't make them any better. As an added bonus Blue is a very strong colour producer, siring buckskins, grullas, duns and every shade of roan. We were pleased to have the opportunity to buy this caliber of sire to add to our stallion line-up. This stallion is broke to ride and has a really nice way of going. Blue has a scar on his left front leg from when he was caught in a fence at 3 weeks of age. This has no effect on him whatsoever and is 100% sound. Blue will either hand or pasture breed and he settles his mares quickly. We really like
Blue and hate to see him go. However, we are no longer standing
stallions to outside mares. We have three stallions and just don’t
need this many to cover our own mares. Our other two stallions are
Driftwood bred and we’ve decided to go with line-bred Driftwoods. |
