"...she [Charlie] is here. I Love her!!! She is soooo sweet and she is already best buddies with
another bay yearling that she is turned out with during the day. I did body clip her on Sunday and
she was a real jem....didn't move a muscle. She accepted a sheet-blanket at night without any
problems as well. This is the sweetest filly ever and I am more than pleased with her. So glad she
is here." [Marion purchased Charlie is September of 2006 off a video. She just now got her
home and it was the first time she had seen Charlie in person!]

"I was so impressed by your packet of materials and your video. You seem like you are a very
organized, professional breeder. I thought the video was awesome, showing her loading, leading,
picking up hoofs, fly spray, etc. It's really what a buyer likes to see in a video".

Hi Marianne,
You have been wonderful to work with. It is really great to see that there are still people out there
who are trying to keep the all-around in our performance horses. I can't wait to take Simon on the
road next year and prove that there are still horses out there that can do it all and do it well.
See you on the show road,

Just wanted to give you an update on how all is doing. Holly, the filly we
fell in love with and purchased from you when she was 3 days old just won
Grand Reserve Champion Mare at the Dodge City Horse Show. She received
Grand Champion in her age class with 6 fillies in it then went on the
compete against the 3 and older mares (20 mares in the class) and came out
of it with a Reserve Grand! Won us a belt buckle! We are really glad we
have had the chance to do business with your family. Our mare "Shes a Two
Eyed Skip" whom we bred to your stallion Gunners Showtime just produced
Holly's half brother "Skip a Two Eyed Chance" and he is every bit as classy
as Holly. We couldn't be more pleased with the kind and caring way you have
handled our filly until she was weaned and our mare while she was there to
be bred. Thanks again for everything and again, it has been great getting
to know you! You all are great horse people!

Hello,
Just wanted to let you know that Roo is doing great. She is eating well and seems to adapted just
fine to her new home. I have her in a nice stall with a pigmy goat to keep her company and they
get along great...When I arrived with her everyone was like omg [oh my gosh] she's so pretty!
People asked me if you had another one like her. They said they want to buy a horse from y'all.
Let me know if you have any more for sale.
Today, I let Roo out in the arena with some other yearling's and it was so funny because they
were all running and Roo was winning. I know she will make a great barrel horse and I couldn't be
more happier. I spent all day with her today; I bathed her, groomed her and she just stood there
and enjoyed it...she's just a wonderful horse.
Well I just wanted to let you guys know how she is doing and I'll talk to you soon...
Thanks a lot,
Erica

Sorry this is so belated, but I just wanted to let you know that the filly made it here fine, and I
couldn't be more pleased with her. She was a little nervous Saturday when she first got home, but
in the last few days she has calmed down a lot...I am entered at a couple of amateur rodeos and I
plan to haul her along for the ride, to show her off.
You were right--she is SASSY, but nothing mean-spirited, just little baby things. And she loves to
be handled and played with.
Thanks again very much...and don't worry, she couldn't be more spoiled!

Cowboy is doing great! And growing like a weed. I can't say enough about how happy we are with
him. He's going to grow into a beautiful young man. His next show might be an Empire Paint
Horse Club sponsored show in Elmira, NY....Cowboy is getting quite good at walking and jogging
in hand, even at showing his teeth for the judges. In fact he loves walking around and taking in
the sights. He hardly ever gets rattled. What a good boy. At the NY State Horse Breeders Show
Memorial Day weekend he was again a fantastic colt to exhibit. Mom loves him and won't let me
have any part of his showing. (Except in the scrubbing and prep! haha)

Mary Anne & Jerry-
I just wanted to let you know how much I absolutely love Lizzie. She is one special mare and has a
personality that is just as special and loveable. She is always the first one at the gate or if you call
her in from the pasture she always comes running in full blast. Lizzie would rather be with me than
out in the pasture with the other horses. She is doing great and I look forward to her 2007 foal
with Gunner. As well as, breeding to Gunner again down the road. I am sure this will be a great
cross! She learns things easily and I look forward to advancing her training. I feel that my
experiences dealing with the both of you have been great, both in initially picking my mare up and
then getting her bred.
Thanks again for everything!!!

I met Jerry and Mary Anne Sedlacek, first via the internet, then in person. I originally bought a
yearling paint mare by the name of Little Miss Splash from a couple in Baldwin, KS. I owned her
for about a year and (during this time had started training her) the more time I spent with her the
more impressed I was with her mind, her movement, and her temperament. You could do
anything with this mare.
I started on a mission to find out more about her bloodlines. I already knew what the Paint Horse
Legends book stated about her bloodlines, but I wanted to really talk to the people that owned the
horses that “made up” my little paint mare. This is how I came to first meet Mary Anne. I saw an
advertisement for her stallion Gunners Showtime. I immediately wrote her and requested
information.
It has been from that point on that I immediately felt a connection with the Sedlacek's. They were
extremely friendly, and extremely accommodating to all of my questions and then eventually to my
going to see their facilities and their stallion. Their knowledge of horses, especially their own, the
care they took of all of the horses, and the pride that they take in making sure their facility looks
the best at all times, completely won me over.
After I met “Gunner” I was completely sold on him. I was able to see him work in the round pen
and it was like watching my paint mare work instead of him. How fluid his movement was and his
natural ability to collect was awesome. Then after working him, the Sedlacek's allowed my
husband and I to actually walk into the pen and mess with Gunner. How many stallions are you
able to do that with! Yet we were able to pick up his feet, feel his legs, pet him, walk around him,
etc and he just stood there taking it all in stride.
In fact, I fell in love with Gunner so much and had such a strong connection with my paint mare
that we have chosen to breed one of our mares to Gunner. Again, working with the Sedlacek's
during this time frame and (us being first time breeders) has been extremely pleasant. They
answered all of our questions, they gave us their veterinarian’s information if we wanted to talk to
him about anything, and they just were extremely nice and informative. They not only answered
our questions about how Gunner handled during the breeding, but also just general questions
about what to expect, what to look for in possible changes in my mare, etc. They also kept in
constant communication with me while my mare was in their care to make sure that I was up to
date on what days she was bred, how the breeding session went, etc.
What also impressed me is that even though we had made a friendship over the past few years,
they still held the “quality” standard very high when it came to their breeding operation. They did
not want to breed just any mare to Gunner. They wanted to make sure they were always
breeding quality to quality. Their responsibility to continue to make the Paint Horse Industry
better and better greatly impressed me.
We are now all sharing the anticipation of a February 2007 baby! This whole experience has
been wonderful and because of that it has made this an exciting time. I have come to know over
these past few years that they are people of their word and they truly care about not only their
horses but your horse as well. I would recommend them to anyone. They are outstanding horse
people and it has definitely been a pleasure.
