Prairie Breeze Quarter Horses Pretty Classy Zip What a pedigree! Pretty Classy Zip is a 15. 1 ˝" jet black stallion bred, born and raised here on our ranch. Larry and I leased his dam, Annie Pines Zip and bred her to the Superior Race, black stallion, Noor Charge, who we owned and stood at stud for many years. Noor Charge, SI 92 was a son of World Champion Race horse, Tiny Charger, SI 100 x Depth Charge, TB, AQHA Hall of Fame. Noor Charge retired completely sound after running at Los Alamitos for five years with famed trainer, D.Wayne Lucas. Noor Charge went on to sire not only AAA and AAAT race horses, but also sired three MQHA Year End State Performance Champions. They were lead changing machines, and “so” smooth to ride.

Zip’s dam, Annie Pines Zip, was a classy sorrel mare with big beautiful soft eyes and a sweet face, that many of Zip’s foals inherit. Annie was sired by Zippo Pat Bars, SI 95 (sire of The Invester and Zippo Pine Bar) and out of an own daughter of AQHA Champion, Poco Pine x Poco Bueno, lots of “cow” here. Annie was the multiple producer and dam of 16 foals, many were futurity champions in Halter and Western Pleasure.

What color, what good bone and feet! Pretty Classy Zip inherited his great feet, superior bone, speed and and big muscular hind quarters from Noor Charge. Zip lets color pass on to his foals - black, palomino, buckskin, blue roan, (even on APHA and ApHC mares.) His foals all seem to have that Zippo smooth way of going, sweet dispositions and pretty faces, and lots of “try”. His get are making great rope horses, 4-H horses, ranch horses- cattle ranchers love ‘em, and yet can run barrels too. Zip is the sire of Zips Commander, the 1997 and 1998 MQHA High Point Halter Stallion out of our Superior Halter mare, Miss Nancy Can.
