Sahara Sands is a beauty. She is small and is sure to stay that way since both her sire and dam are small. She is a daughter of our 2007 NMDA Champion Jack and NMDA Best of Breed Jack, QM Top Dollar, who has one of the best temperaments of any jack you'll ever see. Basically this is a brown jennet foal but she has bright red highlights that make her a standout. Her half sister on her dam's side is our two year old North Gate Sienna who won 2007 NMDA Junior Reserve Champion Jennet and will be in the showring again next season.

At the Texas Shootout June 2010, North Gate Sahara Sands won first place in her halter class, then won Champion Jennet, then went on to win Best of Breed. She is just a yearling and this was her first show. Her sire is Top Dollar. We are so proud of her, and of Kathy Loudamy. What a pair!.

Quarter Moon Code Red. North Gate Farm Senior herdsire. Sire: Circle C Red Tape (NMDA National Get of Sire winner. Get of Sire is the prestigious award given to a herdsire based solely on the quality of his offspring and is the highest honor a herdsire can acheive). Dam: Sunset Acres Bette Midler. Paternal grandsire SS Red Lightning (World champion Get of Sire winner at the 2004 show in Calgary, Alberta Canada). Maternal Grandsire: LN Redsonnehi (Champion). As we searched for excellence in our future herd sire it was with great excitement that we found Quarter Moon Code Red. A top quality young jack, he had everything we wanted to pass on to our future foals all in one package. A sorrel with superb conformation and personality plus, Code Red brings into our herd a combination of genetics from Circle C Livestock in Canada and Quarter Moon Ranch in Texas, along with some of the best from the Nissen Ranch in Iowa coming to him through his grandsire. Code Red began his show career at the age of 13 months by being in the ribbons at halter during the 2004 NMDA Nationals at Waco, Texas. We anticipate that this boy will show excellence in the show ring and will give us some outstanding foals in the coming years.

News Flash!! Code Red wins 3rd in Jacks at Halter at the Houston Livestock Show on March 12th, 2005!! His placing 3rd was especially pleasing to us due to the fact that he is now only 20 months of age and was competing in a large class that included many fully mature jacks. A big thank you to Code Red's exceptional trainer Kathy Loudamy for schooling him so well. And another thank you to Wayne Lyon for showing Cody to this great win!!
