Welcome to Flying M Paints and thank you
for visiting our site.
We are located in
Ulm, Montana, near Great Falls, and overlooking the Missouri River and the
Rockies.
We raise Paint horses, both tobianos and overos;
with around five foals each year. We stand our own stallion, Duke of
Eclipse, a sorrel overo; We are also offering Chamois Doc Jack, a palomino tobiano
stallion. We also breed to outside stallions occasionally. While our
horses do not specialize in any specific venue or category, we prefer to
raise all-around useful, intelligent, friendly animals.
I always have a tough
time learning to re-calculate the age of my horses, since they all
magically became a year older on January 1!! We are expecting 8-9
foals in 2008, out of 5 different stallions, including 2 from Chamois and
4 from Duke. It should be fun.

On
Palm Sunday, April 5, Cher had her umpteenth foal, Palmer. Just like
her 3 older full siblings, Ziggy, Duchess and Geoffrey, she is a pocket
puppy - super friendly. However, while they were splashy overos, she
isn't. Thus her registered name "Twenty Five Percent". The sire of all three is Duke Of Eclipse; thus the terrific
personality.

Exactly
one month later, on Cinco de Mayo, while I was watching Peach, Sonny foaled.
This is her first baby, and I can't complain! Maya is a delicate,
sweet little filly. Duke is the sire. Her registered name is
"Maya Norfleet".

Then
finally Peach popped hers out, although I really don't know how she waited
so long - that filly tried valiantly to arrive 10 days earlier! But I
know she was busy building extra muscle during that time! This is
Shiloh, a filly. Duke is the sire yet again.

Our facilities include a 4-stall barn, a
3-horse foaling barn with pipe corrals and field, eight 100' long pipe corrals
with shelters, a hay shed with attached pipe corral sporting a 30-foot
covered feed trough - plenty of room to belly up to the bar, fields
ranging from five to thirty acres, a 100x185' pipe arena and 2 round pens.
We are members of Rocky Mountain Breeders
Association, where Gail is currently serving as Secretary/Treasurer. We are
also members of Montana Paint Horse Club, where Gail is Webmaster and Past
President.
The "Flying" in our name reflects Bob long-time
interest in flying small airplanes. To yield to his interests, we
also have a grass airstrip and hangar where he keeps his Kitfox (unless it
happens to have my horses' hay in it instead!).
Thanks for dropping
