We're proud to have played a role in these (and many more) successful show careers:

	Lees Zippo Chocolate This bay roan filly was born March 23, 2011 sired by Chips Hot Chocolate. A double bred Zippo Pine Bar filly that also goes back to Sonny Dee Bar. Her granddam Miss Tami Jay Bar was a great trail mare, and one that any one could enjoy. Her half sister is one of Joyce Kruse's trail mares and I tried to buy her back, but I didn't have enough money. She is a super pretty bay roan with a gorgeous head and very correct, as pretty of a mover that I have ever raised. This filly sold at the 2012 AQHA Congress and is headed to New Jersey to begin training for her future show career.

	In 2007 we sold the Jordans  Red Baron Rodder, a 1/2 sister to Hot Roan Rodder. This  95 mare had produced some good babies for us also. This is a colt by her and Rock With A Zip, a Superior Pleasure stallion that is a Paint  with Zippo Pine Bar and Sonny Dee Bar  bloodlines. They sold the colt before it was weaned and the new owner is going to start showing it.
	Dear Everette and Betty Thank you for helping me find my mare "PHS Easter." I have been competing on her at Junior Rodeos and have Won my first around saddle . She is an awesome Barrel and Pole Horse and my father even Team Ropes off of her. I am currently sitting 3rd in barrels at the Iowa Wrangler Junior High Rodeo Association and I won the Champion and Reserve Champion Barrel Racer at the S Bar S Junior Rodeo series with her help the last 2 years. She has truly become part of the family. Thanks so much for all of your help. CJae

	Another customer: Dear Everette, I just wanted to thank you so much for Lacey!!!  She really is a great horse!! We are showing in halter and pleasure.  Lacey And I have really become best buds.  I just wanted to thank you so much for her. She really is my dream horse.   Kayla R
	An new customer: We sure would like to thank Everette and Betty Lee for selling us Zippos Little Bess, a 6 year old registered Appaloosa mare.  We bought her for our 9 year old daughter to start her show career and boy what a start!  She has consistently placed in the top three all summer in the 4-Rivers Show Circuit.  A Circuit that covers Southern Iowa, Northern Missouri, and Eastern Nebraska.  Bess has been a great fit for Kaley with her great looks, quiet disposition, and willingness to please.   Another rider (who has some more experience) is also showing Bess. Michelle Eischeid, who is the 2001 Grand Champion Pleasure winner at the Iowa State Fair, has shown her in circuit shows.  Michelle and Bess have won first place every time out. Thanks again, The Folkerts
	Another customer: Dear Mr. & Mrs. Lee- In December we purchased a 2005 roan filly by your stallion Hot Roan Rodder, out of a mare named A Fixed Conclusion, who you also used to own. She is with our trainer, Stan Patton of Monett, MO being started under saddle. We are in Champaign, IL which is 8 hours from Stan but we wanted to make sure she got a good start, which is why she is over there. We took her to her first show this past weekend, in Carthage, MO. It was freezing cold, but our Janie never batted an eye at anything. She is one of the most well behaved two year olds I've seen, and certainly a credit to your stallion. She placed 2nd in halter, 2nd in 2 yr old longe line and 2nd in in-hand trail both days, out of 5 horses. These were open classes at a Buckskin show, her first AQHA show will not be until July. We'll be showing her again at a Buckskin show the end of April in Columbia, MO and by then I'll be showing her under saddle. If everything goes as planned, she will do 5 or 6 AQHA shows this year, and then we'll be hauling a full AQHA show season for 2008, starting in February and she will be going to the Quarter Horse Congress in October of 2008. I just thought you might be interested to hear about her and see what she looks like. I can send more photos as she progresses if you would like. We didn't get very many from this show, due to a camera malfunction (probably caused by the cold!). Her registered name is Roll Yer Roan, but we call her MaryJane (Janie). The judges could not stop talking about her! One of the judges was AQHA Professional Horseman Jeanne Dial, and after the show she came up and told me that when Janie moves, "it takes your breath away". I have had a lot of show horses in my lifetime, but I think my Janie is the one that will make my dreams come true. Sheree S Update, October 2007: Roll Yer Roan (Janie) who is by Hot Roan Rodder. Please excuse the fact that her ears are not too perky, she was pretty tired by the end of this show circuit. This is from her very first AQHA show, we won the Novice Amateur Showmanship and got 2nd in Amateur Showmanship, earning a total of 1.5 points. Not bad for her first time in showmanship. For our Land of Lincoln Quarter Horse Assn year end, she finished 4th in Open 2 Yr Old Mares, 4th in Amateur Jr Mares, 4th in Non Pro Walk Trot, 10th in Amateur Showmanship, and 10th in Novice Amateur Showmanship. For Illinois Quarter Horse Assn year end, she finished 8th in Open 2 Yr Old Mares, 9th in Amateur Jr Mares, 8th in Non Pro Walk Trot, 12th in Amateur Showmanship, and 12th in Novice Showmanship. Most of these points were earned in only one show, if that tells you how well she did. We couldn't be happier with Janie, if everything goes as planned, we will be sending you Congress (and maybe World Show!) pictures next year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA67FwyeMjc Sheree
	Here is my mom after showing at her very first horse show ever. She led Janie in 3 yr old mares. She had a great time and will be showing her in halter again next month at Gordyville. Hopefully we will have her doing walk trot by the end of the year! Sheree

Janie had just gotten her first western pleasure point! This past weekend we were circuit champions in the novice showmanship and Bruce put 1/2 point on her in Green Western Pleasure.   Sheree
	Dear Everette and Betty We couldn't be happier with Doc, the son of one of your stallions we bought a couple years ago. Thought we'd send you a picture of him even though it is just at home in the arena. We have taken Doc to many rodeos, where he's gotten a lot of attention both as a heeling horse and as a flag horse for Mike. This horse is so athletic...he could do about anything. It just goes to show how versatile the bloodlines you have are. He is not only perfect in conformation, but he wants to work and loves cattle. Keep up the good work in your program...we're sure enjoying the two we bought from you! Jacque Lenhart
