BLUE BLUE BLUE.....Not to be outdone by the fillies, a purebred colt sired by Double Tstandard was born in Tyler, Texas to even the score! After months of anticipation the Monroe's mare, Annelee My Hy gave birth to an exquisite foal. His color??.... so deep dark bay we are still undecided as to his final color... will he be black?? or bay?? or as is his dam, a grey? No matter, as there is no bad color for an exceptional horse! His owner's are delighted with his temperament, his confirmation and my oh my, his extremely exotic head. If you kneel down to his level, this curious colt will soon have his teacup muzzle in the palm of your hand. Gazing into his lovely big eyes, the intelligence is unmistakable. A thinker, definitely a thinker. He is content to sleep alongside his grazing dam, but happy to put on a show for a crowd, tossing his tail upright and prancing, then stopping and posing this way and that. Photos of this baby will be coming soon, but till then, use your imagination..... start by picturing desert sands, fill in a striking sunset, and then upon the horizon a dark sillohuette of a foal with a feather duster of a tail curled over his back and the sculptured face of the oldest and most recognizable breed in the world, the ARABIAN... If now is the time to pursue creating the foal of your dreams, contact us. We welcome you to become involved with us as we continue.............................. |
 The proud sire DOUBLE TSTANDARD .....sharing the passion of horse ownership with others. |
| In 2007 these two ladies made their show ring debuts. At the local level his then 6 month old Half Arabian Half Saddlebred filly RCCR DOUBLE PIROUETTE won her weanling halter class. She also garnered Reserve Champion in her division, competing against all genders of purebred and half Arabians. She danced around the ring with the elegance of a ballerina, the sparkle of a show horse, and although it was her first time away from home, she exhibited the grace of a seasoned pro. Now in 2009, she is growing into a statuesque beauty, remarkably standing 15.2 hands tall. Pirouette has the refinement of an Arabian and the grace of a Saddlebred. She is a perfect combination of the two breeds. RCCR DOUBLE PRECIOUS began her show career in 2007 in Class A competition. Owned by Darlene Stockton, this mare was shown against stiff competition and won the Sport Horse In Hand class. With a quick tack change she returned to the very next class, Sport Horse Under Saddle, and was pinned with another blue ribbon. All this at the tender age of four. Precious continued to show in Class A and qualified for Regionals in 2008. Region 9 is noted for having some of the toughest competition in the Sport Horse divisions and yet when taken into the ring by an amateur, Precious placed Top Three and Top Four in her two Sport Horse in Hand classes! We are so excited for Darlene and her beautiful Double Tstandard daughter, RCCR Double Precious. |   photo credit Kathy Starustka

THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH We are vested in each and every mare that is bred to Double Tstandard. From conception to foaling we strive to help you through each step. One of the most wonderful memories I have is of sitting with a mare owner on foal-watch. As we sat in lawn chairs, the full moon lit the paddock with an ethereal glow. Giddy with lack of sleep we kept each other awake by chatting about our favorite subject, horses. At 3 in the morning with a warm summer breeze gently blowing through her mane, Aladdinn’s Lady lay down and we quietly walked to her side, flashlight and foaling kit in hand. The foaling went smoothly with God’s help, and we watched as the miracle of birth unfolded. Attending the birth of Aladdinn's Foxy Lady will be one memory I will cherish forever. |  ALADDINN'S FOXY LADY shown here the following year, 2006. |
