Finally Farm Paints has achieved all of this with our small group of very special broodmares. Our mares have been chosen for pedigree, conformation, disposition, athleticism, and color. Their bloodlines include Peptoboonsmal, Doc O Lena, Docs Remedy, Peppy San Badger, QT Poco Streke, Starlights Wrangler, Mark This Spot, Colonel Freckles, Delta Flyer, Sacred Indian, and Grays Starlight. These mares have been carefully matched with top stallions, all money earners or champions: Gunners Special Nite, Pale Face Dunnit, Colonels Lone Gun, Big Chex to Cash, Gay Bar Lucky Jac, Who Whiz It, Zezes Pepto Cat, Cookin Merada, Starlights Wrangler, Sacred Indian, and our own two champion stallions.
​
Our show horses include QTs Cajun Cub, who has been hugely successful at the APHA World Show with trainer Jack Wright in a variety of events. Cub is now retired from showing, and is standing at stud. Peptos Smart Cookie (Cookie Monster) was retired from his amazingly successful show career with Million Dollar NRCHA rider Shane Steffen in 2022, and is now standing at stud. We have Peptos Star Baker in training for reined cow horse with Frederick Performance Horses, and have high hopes for this colt by Peptos Smart Cookie.
Color - Performance - Heart
The Babies
Our goal is to produce colorful APHA horses which will successfully show at top levels in reining, roping and reined cowhorse, with dispositions suitable for the non-pro rider and for the family! To start, we prioritize mare and foal care. Since we are a small farm we can monitor each pregnancy carefully and we ensure that each mare receives proper nutrition, vaccinations, and veterinary care. We attend each birth, which take place in a large, comfortable, straw bedded foaling stall, and make sure that everything goes as it should. Each foal gets a vet exam to check legs, IgG levels, and general health. Mares and foals get out into our grassy pastures as soon as they can, to exercise and play. Our guard donkey, Peppy, keeps watch over the foals.
​
The foals are handled from day one. They are petted and scratched all over, so they understand people are pleasant to be around and can touch them everywhere. Within the first week, foals are halter and lead trained, and are leading well around the stall. Early training continues during the first few weeks: grooming, picking up feet, standing quietly. The foals meet dogs, chickens, ducks, cats, and tractors. They are desensitized to ropes, tarps, blankets, and other scary things. They learn to respect space, and any disrespectful behavior is corrected. After weaning, which we do at around 6 months to ensure a healthy and well socialized foal, the baby will learn to give to pressure, back up when asked, load in a trailer, and get bathed. In their yearling year they will be lightly lunged, and learn to move in both directions, to turn, and to walk, trot, and canter on voice command. They are saddled. By the time they head to the trainer, or a new home, they are ready to continue training as a performance horse. Our foals are brought up right - friendly and respectful. So consider buying your next reining, reined cow horse, or roping prospect from Finally Farm Paints! Take a look at our horses for sale.
The Farm
Located in Elma, Washington, we have beautiful pastures fenced safely with mesh horse fence. There are two run-in sheds to provide shelter from sun and rain. There is an eight stall barn with heated tack room, laundry room, office, bathroom, feed area, tacking area, and wash stall, and a four stall barn The arena is 120 by 60, and we offer clinics and welcome haul-in riders. Take a look at the events at our wonderful facility for clinics and the haul-in
schedule. We also offer Finally Farm Guesthouse for overnight visitors. A private apartment for up to four guests, it is a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Breakfast makings are included. You can come and spend time on the farm, enjoy Grays Harbor County beaches and parks, or even stay for a horse event or layover for you and your horse while on a trip.

We are excited that Peptos Star Baker, son of Peptos Smart Cookie and Sacred Mountainbreeze, is now in training with Matt Frederick Performance Horses. He is doing very well! He and Matt seem to have made a great connection, and he is happy, which is very important to us.
​
Peptos Smart Cookie is a media star! He was seen on the hit TV show Yellowstone, Season 4 Episode 9, airing in December 2021. A few weeks later, he appeared on the cover of the Paint Horse Journal, January/February 2022!
​Etalon Diagnostics identifed a new white gene called Merada White, W-31! Peptos Smart Cookie has been tested as a carrier of this newly identified gene. This is very exciting news for Paint breeders, and we look forward to seeing how this gene carries forward to the next generation. Several of his foals have been white or mostly white, with the W31 coloring, in which is really exciting!

Congratulations to Kyle Henegar of Seattle, WA, on the purchase of Smart Sacred Pepto
(Eldon). We know Kyle has big plans for this colt, and are happy he has found such a
great home! We love to keep in touch with our buyers to keep updated on how our foals
are doing. We invest so much time, effort and love into them, it is hard to let them go, but
it helps knowing they are doing well and well loved.
We do not have any foals arriving in 2026, but still have amazing foals from previous years.
Peptos Arctic Blast (Tahoma) was born in 2025 and is available for sale. He is a son of
Peptos Smart Cookie and his dam is Sacred Mountainbreeze, a daughter of Hall of Fame
Sacred Indian. We have two 2024 foals by QTs Cajun Cub. A Smart QT Miracle (Milo) is
a beautiful black and white colt out of Uvaldes Cow Smart. We have retired Uvaldes Cow Smart, so Milo is her last foal. He is a maternal half brother to Peptos Smart Cookie. QTs Delta Zydeco (Joy) is a stocky, pretty filly out of Dual Delta Blue. She may be the kindest, calmest baby we have ever had. She is willing and so easy to get along with, and is going to make somebody a wondereful partner. And we still have QTs Uvalde Star (Apollo) a stunning perlino 2023 colt. We were thinking about hanging on to Apollo, because he is incredibly athletic and has a great, willing disposition, but since we have one colt in training already, it is best for Apollo to go to a home that can send him to training soon! Contact us if you are interested in any of these foals, or find more information on our Sale Barn page.
