Desert Skippa's Lineage

Desert Skippa's sire was AQHA Champion Premium Skip (b. 1977), a son of the great sire Skippa Lark (1967-1986).  Hank Wiescamp said of Skippa Lark, "He had a super neck, a nice long hip, and great inside muscle in his hind legs.  He also had a real nice front end."  Frank Holmes, The Hank Wiescamp Story 193 (1996).  Desert Skippa inherited those qualities, plus he has a nice typey head.

After a muddy summer and fall, a nice November day pops up, and the mighty Skippa gets a much-needed bath.
