At Finally Farm Paints, we choose our broodmares with the utmost care.  We seek the best performance bloodlines of reining, cutting, roping, and cowhorse Paints and Quarter Horses.  We look carefully at conformation and movement; athleticism, strong bone, balance, nice muscling, and good feet are essential.  Friendly, curious, and pleasant dispositions are important; the mare must fit in with our program that involves daily handling, as well as handling of their foals from birth.  And, because we breed Paints, the mares are colorful and pretty to look at.  All of our mares have had 6 panel genetic tests, as well as white pattern tests.  All mares receive the best of nutrition geared toward their stage of pregnancy or lactation.  They all receive appropriate vaccinations, de-wormers, and farrier work.  All expecting mares are monitored carefully in large foaling stalls in the couple of weeks prior to foaling.
