the judge, and all participants and spectators alike. UPDATE!! June 29/03: 'Zippity' did it again! At the Santana Riders show on June
29, 2003 'Zippity' won Weanling Halter, unanimously, under 2 Judges, and 2nd of 8 in

color, once again placing over many awesome paint horses. Pics to follow. UPDATE!! January '05: Zippity has been SOLD! to a wonderful home in Reno, Nevada.
Contratulations Kathy G! Here are a few candid shots of 'Lil Butt' and 'Zippity'.
Zephie, our wonderful
Grant's mare has given us a filly, true to form. (we've never had a colt
from Zephie in 7 babies) Spots 'N Stripes Zephyr's Happy Zappy (SOLD!!) Foaled June 9, 2003 - 36" tall - 12" canon - 36" long Zephie gave us a BIG girl! This girl will be able to saddle and
go easily, solid legs, straight as can be, and is for sale
and ready to go to her new home by the end of September. She is an awesome
show girl with an extra heart on her right side! SOLD!!!
Spots 'N Stripes Zani Matronic Foaled June 20, 2003 - 30" tall - 10" canon - 30" long Zani is a lovable, huggable, cuddly
little girl who wants nothing more than you to spend time with her petting and
talking to her, and is taking to her training beautifully. She has a gorgeous little head,
nice neck,
a great topline and is very correct. UPDATE!! June '04: Zani has been SOLD! to a wonderful home in Alpine, CA.
Contratulations Lisa! Spots 'N Stripes Zis Is Za Life Foaled June 20, 2003 - 31" tall - 10" canon - 32" long
This wonderful little
girl nicknamed 'Blanket' really loves her 'blankey' - and people too. Soft eyes, pliable, this girl
is training up so well. She is straight and correct and has a wonderful head and neck - a real
show filly prospect! UPDATE! Sept. 28/03 - Blanket competed at her first RSR open show. In her halter class, she competed against
two 7 month old weanlings, one a granddaughter of Impressive! As you can see, she was the youngest in
in the class. Blanket squared up quickly and waited for the other weanlings to settle.
She placed 3rd in the class, but with competition like that, we were just glad to be in their company.
UPDATE!! Blanket will be added to our broodmare string. She is gorgeous and will
continue the Spots 'N Stripes tradition of only breeding the best to the best for the best! Spots 'N Stripes Dr. Zeuss Foaled August 16, 2003 - 30" tall - 10" canon - 30" long Zeuss is an amazing boy, our only colt so far this year. He has a
perfect topline, beautiful head and neck, and, as you can see, is wonderfully straight
and correct. He is lovable
and respectful and listens to 'Lil Butt' his miniature horse colt buddy as 'Butt' teaches
him stall manners and feeding protocol. Zeuss has already been 'out there', the star
attraction at a large fund raising event for San Deguito Boys and Girls Club right in
the middle of the infield at the Del Mar Race Track. Hundreds of people petted Zeuss and
had their photos taken with him. (see photo below in the beautiful 'tropical
nights' setting they prepared for this little 'star') He's ready to be your 'star' at horse
shows and/or as a potential breeding stallion. Zeuss is finally for sale for all those
of you who have been writing. He is starting ground training and being saddled and harnessed.
He is absolutely the most pleasurable zebra we have ever worked with, and loves being
trained. He is definitely a 10! $16,000 as a coming two year old. Here is Zuess , as a
coming two year old in Feb '05, at a huge event at the San Diego Qualcom Stadiuma yearly
event called 'The Big 3", where thousands of RV'ers come for 3 days to buy and sell car
parts and accessories and visit from all over the country. Zuess was the hit of the party,
was extremely well behaved with all his
training really paying off. He was tied in the stand stall in the trailer for the three
days except for coming out for exercise and to astound all the visitors. The noise, the
people, the flashing lights, fire places burning, and merriment didn't phase him. What a
boy! SOLD! Congratulations to Jennifer of Pheonix, AZ!
Spots 'N Stripes Ziffany - Grevy's Filly Foaled September 14, 2003 - 38.25" tall - 13.5" canon - 117 lbs. Here she is at last at just 24 hours old with Jim as proud as can be! And is she a looker! Zassperella outdid herself
with this little one, who is not so little! Ziffy went straight to the bucket on
day two, and in her first week of life has learned to pick up her feet, lead, lead-trot,
go over the tarp, stand on the hot walker, jumps right into the trailer, and lunges at a walk and
trot both ways. WOW! What a girl. Oh, by the way, she is not for sale. But we will keep you all
posted on her accomplishments! Below Ziffy is meeting Dr. Zeuss, our little Grant's boy who is
a month older than she. Ziffany should mature to 15 hands like her mama.
All of our babies are trained to
respect, halter, lead, lunge, hot walker, trailer and have their feet trimmed before you
get them! Yes, you will pay more for a trained zebra, just like for a trained
horse! It is vitally important, however, to begin training a zebra baby at
just a few days of age in order
to optimise the extent to which the individual may be trained as an adult zebra.
We will also teach every new zebra purchaser the art of how we trained
their baby, and we urge continued training with us periodically to progressively
turn your little one into a 'trained zebra'. Zebra training is $675 per month
including board and feed.
Trained Grant's Filly or Colt - With show record - Individually Priced. Inquire.
Trained Grant's Colt - With show record or older - Individually Priced. Inquire. Untrained babies available on advance order with deposit.
Zebras babies that have begun their show careers may be priced
higher. Prices are subject to change without notice. Sometimes the prices change before the
website reflects the change in price.
Delivery can be arranged anywhere! Credit cards accepted.
Paypal accepted. Payments, lay away and terms also acceptable on approval.
We are pleased to present:
Spots 'N Stripes Zippity Doo Dah

Foaled June 7, 2003 - 33" tall - 11" canon - 30" long
Sire: Unverified - Dam: Spots 'N Stripes Zantasia IZZZA # F- GT- 00010
This wonderful little girl is blessed with intelligence, an
affectionate personality, and is well balanced with a beautiful head. She was on
the bucket by the third day, eliminating 'bottle baby' problems later, and is
being taught her horse manners by a six week old miniature stallion, 'Lil Butt',
who will spend time with each of our new zebra babies as they arrive. 'Lil Butt'
was orphaned and bucket raised and has learned proper manners right from birth,
which he is imparting to the baby zebras throughout all the day's
activities.

Our second class was halter color (See photo below) - our competition was fierce - there were 11 horses in the
class - (we are way up front, standing second from the front horse) We were pleased when the
judge awarded us 4th place amidst this outstanding group of horses.
