WELL CONNECTED - PHAA 8941
2005 Paint Bred liver chestnut mare Shines Olivia (QH) x Just Shameless (imp/exp/dec) Another of Olivia's daughters, June will be turning 20 this year. She is also by 'Just Shameless' and a full sister to 'May' and 'Portia', who are now retired. She is probably flaxen liver chestnut (we think). You can tell we like this family and 'June', although different in colour, is just like her sisters and has had a number of lovely foals. |

LITTLE GUN - PHAA 13830
2012 Paint Bred chestnut mare Sheza Grand Sensation x The Big Gun (USA) 'Little Gun' and her sister 'Gunner Be Trouble' represent a bit of a change in direction for us. She is reining / working bred and has been bred to working stallions. Her first foal, a tobiano colt by 'Cats Jackhammer' was a little ripper. She has also had two totally awesome foals by Ten Colors - both of whom are currently available for sale. |

SHEZA GRAND SENSATION - PHAA 6881
2001 Flaxen liver chestnut overo mare - RETIRED Shines Olivia (QH) x Just Shameless (imp/exp/dec) This delightful mare is one of our group of gorgeous 'Olivia' daughters. 'May' is now retired from breeding, but still behaves like a 5 year old! Her last foal may have been her best - and overo colt by GPS Hez Ice Te. I love this mare. She will live out her days here at Rocking M. |

UP CLOSE N SHAMELESS - PHAA 6940
2002 Paint Bred dun overo mare - RETIRED Shines Olivia (QH) x Just Shameless (imp/exp/dec) By 'Shameless' and another of Olivia's daughters. Not much needs to be said about this gorgeous mare - she is our once-in-a-lifetime horse. We adore her. Portia has also been retired from breeding for several years. Some years ago she had a serious injury that she was not expected to survive. Now more than 12 years later she is still getting about with the herd - albeit slowly. Her arthritis will get the better of her eventually and it will be a sad day when we have to say goodbye to her. |

SHINES OLIVIA - Q10958
1983 - 2019, dun Quarter Horse mare - DECEASED Sweet Olive (imp) x Drftaluck Pierre (imp) Olivia was the matriarch at Rocking M and known affectionately as 'Mother Gorgeous'. She was a delightful girl who is the dam of three of our mares above. She is by 'Driftaluck Pierre'* and has a fully imported pedigree. Olivia's pedigree boasts some of the most famous foundation Quarter Horse stallions including Poco Bueno, Three Bars, Magnolia Pay, Chuck Wagon, Driftwood, Rey Del Rancho, Joe Reed, Joe Moore ... the list keeps going! She was that strong 'old style' Quarter Horse with great working bloodlines. Crossed to 'Just Shameless' (imp/dec) she produced the most amazing family of mares. In 2019, Olivia was laid to rest, aprroaching her 36th birthday. She is greatly missed. |
