Iceman is a beautiful dun and palomino (dunalino) stallion with the quietest disposition you will ever find in a stallion. He sires his size, color and attitude. Iceman is in training currently and will continue on to perform in team roping and rodeo pick-up work as well as everyday ranch and cattle duties.

Ice carries the dun gene and the cream gene. His foals have a high percentage chance of inheriting one of his dilution genes.

Waiting quietly for lesson time

Tee J Icman' Birthday 5/14/3003
HISTORY of TEE J ICEMAN:

In the winter of 2003, I purchased a big gray mare, Tee J Shelby, from Minnesota. She had been bred to a grullo 100% foundation stallion and due to foal in the spring. Shelby was a linebred Jackie Bee mare who stood at 16.1 hands and easily weighed 1600 lbs. She was very gentle and kind and had several quality foals for her previous Minnesota owners. I was very excited to have her and waited anxiously for a foal.

On May 14, 2003, Tee J Iceman was born. I had no idea what color he was. He just looked pink! But he was a big strong colt and I was as pleased as could be. He was exactly what I was looking for as a stallion prospect for a Roping and Rodeo horse. I had always been keenly interested in the Jackie Bee and GoldFingers bloodlines due to their extreme versatility and talent, not to mention their quiet dispositions!

As Ice grew, his coat color became more apparent. He definitely had a dorsal stripe, which was from his grullo sire carrying the dun gene. But he also had a white mane and tail, which made him a palomino. Where did that come from? I studied his dams pedigree only to find that she had a 50% chance of carrying the cream gene, but the gray gene covers up any base color a horse may be. The Quarter Horse Association argued with me that he could not be a Palomino as it did not seem likely from the mating. Thus, he was registered as a dun. In the meantime, he has been DNA tested for the cream gene and he does carry it.

In the spring of 2005, I bred Ice to one of my Jackie Bee/GoldFingers mares. He was out to pasture with Tee J Diamond Jackie and by chance figured out what to do, thus successfully settling Jackie. It was a great surprise. The resulting foal was Chardonnay Cowboy, born in May 2006. He is the spitting image of Iceman. I really felt like I was having 'deja-vu'. Cowboy is intensely linebred Jackie Bee with GoldFingers and Diamond Tender as grandsire and great grandsires. What a great old combination again! We plan to keep Chardonnay Cowboy as a replacement sire and will stand him for anyone looking for the intense Jackie Bee breeding.

Unfortunately, in 2005 due to divorce, I had to sell Iceman to my friend Christine in order to survive and re-establish my ranch business. He had a great home with Christine and she took excellent care of him. Now, in the summer of 2008, I had the opportunity to purchase him back and I jumped on it! I am so happy to have him back at the Flying H Ranch with his old friends.

Iceman is currently learning to be the rope horse I intended him to be. He was bred to two of the ranch mares this year and we are expecting some great foals in the spring.
