~ Belle ~

Belle ... aka (Blue Whale, Blue Belle, Hell Bitch, Gray Mare) has been around the longest out of the horses we have now.














She came to Mark back in 1996. She was a 4 yr old at the time and was used as a bareback horse with Scotty and Troy Ellis. She quit bucking and she was actually on the truck headed to the killers. Mark got a phone call one day from Scotty and said she was too pretty to kill and did he want her. So he said yes and sent his parents to pick her up. They said she was a bag of bones and very ugly. Mark broke her out to ride and later started picking up broncs on her. Shes been used as a pick up horse, bull draggin horse, day work, sorting bulls, and was a babysitter breifly for our daughter Rilee. Shes a very good lookin mare but she has the worst front legs/feet you could ever ask for on a horse. She is pigeon toed and also has some bad nasty pancake feet. We have to keep shoes on her or they will end up being split all the way up. Mark went on to make lots of money on this horse.

The best $1,000 he ever spent in his life!
