After retaining daughters of the stallions we felt the need to inject new bloodlines and disciplines into the program. Two stallions were purchased in 2007, Lil Easy Feature (1993 grandson of Dash for Cash and Frosty Feature) and a yearling Colonel Frenchman (2006 son of Frenchmans Guy and grandson of Colonel Freckles). The year 2010 was bittersweet. After receiving 2 foal crops, Lil Easy Feature passed away in the early spring before his final foals were born. That same year Colonel Frenchmans first offspring were born on the ranch. Colonel Frenchman has been trained and shown by Cami Bauer and has successfully placed in his 5 YO Futurities and 6 YO Derbies.

 

The fall of 2013 proved to be very devastating for the Lauing Mill Iron L Ranch when our beloved senior sire, Comos Cottoneye, perished when the blizzard 'Atlas' hit western South Dakota with vengeance on October 4th. Eleven additional horses lives were lost at the same time. During the breeding season of 2014 Frenchmans Hickory developed an injury resulting in his ability to breed mares. In 2014 Denny & Doris had a mission to add stallions to their breeding program. NMSU Keepvon Truckin (2008 son of Von Reminic X NMSU Doc Truckle CJ) was purchased from the New Mexico State University Equine Program. In 2009, Denny & Doris were invited guest consigners of Armstrong Equine Sale where Von Reminic (National Reining Horse Champion) stands. Holding high regards to the Armstrong breeding program, Lauing's feel very honored to stand a stallion with their legendary bloodlines.

Catching the eye of Denny & Doris at the Frenchmans Quarter Horses Sale in 2014, a beautiful bay weanling, Paddys Best Whiskey (2014 Paddy's Irish Whiskey X Best Performance X Special Effort) was destined to be added to the Lauing Mill Iron L Ranch's breeding program. ‘Whiskey’ too has been trained and successfully shown in the reining cow horse, cutting, versatility ranch horse as well as his 5 YO Futurity and 6 YO Derby years in  barrel racing. In 2015 another Stallion, Dare To Be French (2013 Frenchmans Falcon X Frenchmans Francesca) was added to increase the stallion power to their mares. ‘Bo’ is a beautiful palomino stallion that is triple bred back to the James & Frances Loiseau’s cornerstone mare Caseys Lady Love. He now stands as the senior sire of the Lauing Mill Iron L Ranch.
 

The ultimate goal to our successful program is the continuation of retaining home-raised mares and stallions enhancing the ability and disciplines while seeking and maintaining legendary bloodlines. Everyone likes to ride a good horse. Our current plan is to breed and sell good useable horses for the ranch or in the arena and to breed and sell better horses ten years from now and beyond.
