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 by; Bob and Gail Morris
