Magic Meadow in New York no longer exists. It is now simply a memory of all who knew and loved Joan Pool and her love of horses. Here is the herd before she passed away.
Mares of Magic Meadows
Mariah
The true foundation of all breeding farms are in their mares, so come join us in a journey of discovery of our mares. This is the grand dam of Magic Meadows..... Mariah. Mariah produces awesome foals... every color imaginable and built for strength and endurance. Super sweet disposition and intelligent willing to learn babies.
Ballerina
Prince Silver Jet X Gray Dawn
7-20-1997
Imagine if you will, a mare so well formed that she can literally fly across the mountains. So fluid that her feet barely touch the ground.... So dark that she stands out from the other horses... with a finely chiseled and classic head. Ballerina is an aptly named blue grulla appaloosa. Her family is well known for their hunter/jumper abilities . Ballerina passes on her awesome movement to her foals, enriching them with a very athletic and beautiful floating gait...... Her yearling filly, Dancer (2003), has the perfect conformation for a hunter/jumper along with the movement and attitude to match. Check out her chiseled neck and well put together body. Her 2004 black leopard colt, Tiger, (SOLD at age 1 week)is exceptionally well put together and has his mama's beautiful gait.

When standing on the top of the hill, this mare shimmers in and out of view with the play of light on her silver blue white coat.... disappearing and reappearing as if a ......ghost.......A daughter of Mariah...... Beautifully built....... super sweet disposition..... This mare was meant to be Mariah's replacement....... Check out the beautiful silver blue roan coloring on this mare.... Sparkle can really move and has power to spare... she is currently bred for 2006, a possible few spot or ghost foal........silver blue or black markings......

Snow Ghost Tuff Enuff X Dusty Gold
In her daddy's image ........ this gorgeous few spot filly has it all...... size, looks, disposition, gait.....Legs like tree trunks, deep girth for that so needed extra lung space..... short back, strong hocks and good feet...Add to that a finely chiseled head, a super sweet disposition and that great Indian shuffle gait and you have a filly that is the best of everything.......
The Image Maker
Dec. 29, 2003
Snow Ghost Tuff Enuff X Charcol
Sometimes magic just happens at Magic Meadows... Such is the case with The Image Maker..... Born in the snow and watched over by Mother Nature, this boy has grown rapidly to a fine young colt....... Straight legs, short back, deep girth, small chiseled head, little ears, great neck, strong hocks and great feet...... With a gentle disposition like his sire..... This colt should be kept as a stallion to test out his potential as a herd sire......What more could you possibly ask for, size, leopard, possible homozygous for black color, shuffle gait with a winning & willing disposition..!!!! I doubt much will be able to keep up with this guy..... The leader of the pack....... This young colt is the best representative of his sire, Tuff... Same sweet nature, same sturdiness....Image Maker is eligible for Tiger Horse registry as an outcross and if he maintains and continues to display gait he can be registered as a Tiger Horse. He is eligible as a Colorado Ranger Horse and is eligible for Appaloosa registry as a gelding.
Tiger Magic
May 3, 2004
Snow Ghost Tuff Enuff X Ballerina
This awesome colt has it all..... looks, gait (plus the Indian shuffle), disposition and loads of color.......From a floating trot, to an extended trot, to a fast Indian Shuffle, this young colt expresses it all....Regal in manner, bold in movement, built with the hunter/jumper conformation, this colt is going to be a show stopper.... Loads of color..... Refinement... Graceful and extremely fluid movement....
What makes a black and white leopard stand out in a herd of black and white leopards........???? Why stripes instead of spots of course........This little guy is eligible for registration as a Tiger Horse outcross......... and if he maintains his gait will be eligible as a registered Tiger Horse instead of an outcross....

Red Ghost
March 10, 2004
Snow Ghost Tuff Enuff X Dusty Gold
No way to hide the well built conformation on this colt... Even in this photo at a couple of months of age he is already showing the fine form that he will grow into.. With his stocky body he still has a fine defined neck and a gorgeous head..... Straight legs and great hocks...Where ever he goes people are going to stop to look at him. He already has a presence and a calm, easy way of going... Not much disturbs this guy and not much misses his attention. Check out the length of his cannon bone and compare it to his dam.... This boy is going have some size.......A beautiful head, chiseled features, small ears, nice soft eye, attractive evenly spaced blaze, dark nose and super friendly personality...... and that's just the head....If you were to fill out a list of all the things you wanted in a potential stallion this young colt would fill the list and then add a few things you forgot to ask for...... along with the "Indian shuffle gait and genes"
Indian Summer
June 27, 2004
Snow Ghost Tuff Enuff X Mariah
Imagine if you can, an Indian summer in Magic Meadows. The colors are at their brightest, the days are cooling off and perfect for riding and enjoying the outdoors....The perfect season.....Then add to that picture a young filly with dark rich brownish red spots and beautiful conformation...
Perfect head, small ears, beautiful eyes and color to spare. Add to that picture fluid movement and an easy going personality and you have Indian Summer A really good looking filly from any angle......With a well built butt to boot...... Standing here next to her 3 yr old sister Tiffany and her 1/2 brother Tiger
Indian Summer SOLD at 5 weeks of age
Ghost Wind Magic
This gorgeous colt is Joan's favorite colt sired by the late Snow Ghost Tuff Enuff out of the great producing mare Dusty Gold. She was offered $2,000 the first week he was born but turned them down. She was going to make her his herd sire when he was of age.
Ghost was a knockout from the beginning..!!!
Here he is as a yearling.... You can see how well put together this guy is....... Breeders are aware of how ugly the yearling stage usually is and yet Ghost is still looking good.. Check out his sire's page and compare the similar conformation. Plus he inherited his sire's genes that are already creating the long mane and tail... Ghost has all the qualities and a super sweet disposition that is basic to a good herd sire. BONUS... as a youngster he demonstrated the Indian Shuffle just like his sire...!!!

Straight legs, solid rear end with size to drool over.... this mare is built for those long hours in the saddle over days at a time...... the true long riding competitive trail filly.... With her gentle disposition she will be an ideal family horse and breeding mare...
And now look at the gorgeous color on this filly...... Her mama is the same color and produces only colored babies..

The Stallions
Snow Ghost Tuff Enuff
1995 - 2004
How many ways to say awesome......
A pedigree that can be traced for over 200 years.
The genes to consistantly pass on his conformation and disposition no matter what mare.....
Produced Indian shuffle gait on non-gaited mares
All the while being a sweet, loving and gentle disposition stallion. This stallion had an excellent conformation and ease of movement that made him look as tho he was floating instead of moving... Superior quality in producing great conformation foals with athletic ability..... but his true, outstanding contribution to the appaloosa breed was his wonderful, intelligent easy going nature.... Lots of brains, mind you (no dummy dead head), but a willingness to please that made him a gentleman throughout his whole life..... and passed this sweet temperament along to his sons and daughters...
If ever you have the opportunity to own one of this stallion's foals you will know what I mean... Joan made a wonderful selection when she choose him to be her herd stallion.... Tuffy will be greatly missed not only by those who knew him..... but by those who never got the chance and only know him thru his foals......
We Love and Miss you Tuff
Watch over your babies........
