| LIL BIT (AKA: Bit) (AIHR M - 1966 / AQHA) |
Foaled April 3rd of 1984, 'Bit' is by Mr. Mac (AQHA) out of Trixie Ness (AQHA). Bit is a beautiful lineback dun with spider
webbing. During her first few years with the AIHR she was awarded with the AIHR Hall of Fame Award (1996) and the Supreme
Hall of Fame Award (1997). (Supreme Hall of Fame is awarded to horses acquiring 2,000 show points)

Bit shows both her speed & versatility as she continues to place well in trail as well as pole
bending and cloverleaf barrels. At the age of 22 she ran four of the eight shows at the local
horse club, bringing home reserve high point for the year without even trying - just with the
points that she received from those few shows. She also doubles as a ‘Dude’ horse when we
have visitors here at the ranch. She’s calm enough for beginners, yet she can turn on a dime.
Most dudes say that she has power steering 'cause she neck reins wonderfully!

We finally retired Lil' Bit from competition, so now she just sits
around with the brood mares, watching the babies play. Unless, of
course, some dudes happen to drop by and decide to ride. Bit is
always one of the first to be picked for the dude string, and she
doesn't mind at all. She really seems to enjoys going riding ....crossing
creeks, meandering thru the meadows....and maybe getting to stretch
her legs every now and then while enjoying a nice lope.

After giving her a break from having babies, we bred Lil Bit to Northern
Song once again for 2005 foal. Bit surprised us with a pretty little filly with dun
markings that we named Lil Cayenne. The great part is that she's turning into a
strawberry roan! I don't know if you realize that a strawberry roan is the horse
that cowboys sing about. Remember...the song about the strawberry roan?

In February of 2006 Lil Bit gave us a fantastic little colt that we called Lil Chipotle. A really DEEP bay with primitive
markings, he's quite a sight! At the age of two he measured 14.2 hands - the same size as his sire Painted Tiger. Sweet and
gentle, he sure got the best of both lines...then again, don't all of Lil Bit's babies?

Now, just because Lil Bit's retired, that doesn't mean that she
doesn't get to have any fun! She enjoys traveling to historical
reenactments with White Wing Dove and that silly human that they
call Susan. (Hey, she feeds us, scratches the right spots and treats us
nice)

A Reenactment...now THERE'S a place where they really know how to treat
a horse! Ya get to stand around all day, tied to that stake in the ground. Then all
kinds of people come by to pay homage to your greatness with little things like
apples, horse cookies...or even a slice of bread. Then comes the FUN part! We
get to play real life 'cowboy's and indians'....or maybe get to take a few captives
while participating in an real indian raid! Altho Susan does get a little upset when
she comes back to camp only to find that her horses have been snatched....drafted
for some kind of mischief.

When 2009 came around, I guess that Lil Bit decided that she had to do it once again! On March 23rd, she gave us a
beautiful line back dun colt that was duly named ICE MAN! The story behind his name (not to mention his arrival) is utterly
astounding. Lil Bit actual found away to communicate with Susan...well, I don't want to let the cat outta the bag. Why not click
