Ranch Matriarch - Two-Stars (ABHA #F-311) Ranch Stallion - Little Red (ABHA #F-433)
Mike Kruse, owner and operator of 2 Stars Legacy Blazers, has spent the past 20 years in the venture of breeding, raising and training Blazer horses. Since 1988, after buying his first Blazer horse, Mike has enjoyed the privilege of seeing newborn foals --sired in large part by his lone stallion Little Red -- blossom into beautiful, naturally developed horses. With over 20 horses to his get, Little Red has much to be proud of. Standing at 13 hands, 3 inches tall, Little Red has a very well mannered disposition as a Blazer Horse Stallion; he is a gentleman with people and a firm but quiet steed to his mares. He has reproduced both conformation and disposition in his offspring and will leave a lasting legacy to his name.
The Ranch Matriarch is Two-Stars. She is mother and grandmother to almost every horse living at 2 Stars Legacy Blazers -- including Little Red. Born in 1980 (by the foundation sire -- Little Blaze #F-1), she enjoys the best of life roaming the pastures during the Spring, Summer and Fall months of the year. She gets a stall all to herself in the Winter enjoying the best of Idaho alfalfa hay; and also now savors her daily servings of Senior feed. Mike retired Two-Stars from the ranks of a breeding mare in 2003; but she will continue to enjoy her life on the ranch as long as she has the will to live. Her legacy continues in the ABHA; she has her children and grand kids spread around the country now. Two-Stars and Little Red truly are the 2 Stars in this herd of Legacy Blazers.
Mike is also a lifetime member of the American Blazer Horse Association (ABHA). Mike remains dedicated to the stringent standards set forth by the ABHA in their Studbook and Registry rulebook. A student of Neil Hinck, founder of the Blazer Horse breed, Mike's desire is to keep the true Nature of the Horse within his breeding practice, and to maintain the gentle and willing disposition bred into Blazer horses from the start. The Blazer Horse breed was started in 1967 by Mr. Hinck and is beginning to have a growing presence in the equine industry. There are now Blazer horses from coast to coast throughout the United States and into Canada.
Mike also remains committed to the principles of Natural Horsemanship. Having learned from the Natural Horsemanship program of Pat Parelli since 1999, both auditing and participating in Parelli Natural Horsemanship clinics, Mike is learning the language of the horse in training his Blazer horses.
