Hi there! High Five Acres is a small farm located in Dalmatia, PA, forty miles north of Harrisburg. We are currently breeding and raising American Quarter Horses & Paints. We are currently expecting three APHA foals by Reflecting Merle. High Five Acres is dedicated to the care and quality of our animals.Please browse the site to learn more about who we are and what we do! Some pages are still under constructionbut we hope to have them up and running soon. Feel free to contact us using the link at the bottom of the page with any questions or comments about this site or anything else. This site is dedicated to our beloved cat, Garfield, who passed away June 27, 2001, and to the first pony that ever trotted into our hearts and barn, Champ( ? - 02/2004). We miss you guys.

Ima Skippin Chic 1996 sorrel Quarter horse mare.
She has been with us since she was a yearling. Skippy now stands at 15.3hh and weighs in over 1100lbs. She is well
broke for trails, but has gamed and done a little jumping (Nothing fancy!!) She really seems to prefer the trail over
anything. She has been ridden english and western with a hackamore or halter. Since she is unshod, we prefer to ride
her with easy boots (which I highly recommend to anyone with trail horses!!!) She hasn't been undersaddle very
recently, but even when she is pastured for several months, we can just saddle her up and go without a problem.
In 2001 Skippy was bred with a palomino QH stud, Cody Sophistic Bars and produced a carbon copy of herself.
You can see pics of her first born by clicking on the link for Foals or looking at Skippy's pedigree page.
In 2004, Skippy produced a huge palomino filly by a gorgeous Cremello foundation QH named Vannie Glo
Lucky out of Bloomsburg, PA. You can visit his website by clicking the like in the section marked Stallions of Note.
Skippy is due to foal any moment now by Reflecting Merle, a black and white overo stallion from Annville, PA.
Skippy will always remain the love of my life!! Click the link above to take a peek at Skippy and her pedigree.
Colby's Sweet Joleen has indeed been the sweetest addition to
our farm. She is a 2000 sorrel breeding stock paint mare. Colby carries the sabino gene which is obvious through
the coon striping on her tail, heavy white ticking on her flanks and white speckles between her butt cheeks. She
came to our farm June 13th 2001 from Thompson, PA. She stands at a mere 14.2, but she makes up for it in
weight. Her dispostion is absolutely wonderful. She leads, loads, hauls, clips, ties and does pretty much whatever
you ask her to do. Colby was lightly started under saddle, but due foundering several years ago, we feel that it
is best to leave her as a broodmare. We are considering starting her slowly again, but only time will tell. She is a
wonderful mother, though predicting when she is about to foal has been difficult. She is everyone's favorite here on
the farm! Colby was bred in 2003 to the Cremello stud, Vannie Glo Lucky and produced a gorgeous palomino colt. This
past spring, Colby was bred to Reflecting Merle, a black and white overo stallion from Annville, PA. Congrats, Colby!
4/1/08 in the middle of the afternoon (again!!) Colby foaled an adorable black filly with three socks and a blaze! See
her page for some pics! We are most definitely looking forward to getting many more beautiful foals out of her.

Stars Straw Baby is a 1991 sorrel QH mare. She stands at 15 hands and is built
like a little brick house!! Sassy (as we like to call her...) is the newest addition to our farm. She came to
us in 2006. Like our other two mares, she's got 3 socks and a blaze. She has quite a personality and loves to get
her butt scratched. We have worked herunder saddle several times and she has a lotspunk. After several attempts with
different bitsthat were suggested, we went back to the tried and true sidepull and she was a different horse.
Now she is fabulous on the trails, no head tossing or pulling at all. Sassy was also bred to Reflecting Merle,
a black and white overo stallion from Annville, PA. Click on her name above for pictures & pedigree.
Cat's Eternal Flame is ourfirst 2008

STALLIONS OF NOTE!
If you or anyone you know are looking for a stud to breed to, you should definitely consider the
studs that I have gotten foals from. Reflecting Merle is a B/W overo APHA stallion with an exceptional temperment.
Click his link above to see a pedigree and a few pics of his offspring. His owner, Michelle, has done excellent work
training him! We have bred all three of our mares to him this spring. So far he has produced only black and black
and white foals. To visit Merle and Michelle's web site,click here. Vannie Glo Lucky, a cremello foundation QH, has got a great temperment, and he produces fantastic babies! If you are looking for a foal to show at halter or raise to cut, he is your stud! He also comes with a 100% color guarantee! To visit his site, click here.
Shiloh McCue is another beauty of a stud. This homozygous B/W Paint stud produces color galore! There are tons of pics of his offspring on his website. To visit his site, click here.
