Notice My Emerald (My Final Notice X PP Emerald Chip) 2015 dark bay overo mare

Imported in 2021 is our 2015 dark bay overo mare, Notice My Emerald. Emmi is by western pleasure ROM earner and World Champion sire, My Final Notice. She is out of 2 X APHA Champion, PP Emerald Chip, who earned almost 200 points with ROMs in western pleasure, trail, showmanship, halter, barrel racing and pole bending! PP Emerald Chip is by leading APHA sire, Lucky Diamond Chip. She produced six foals with 3 having show records, including Assets And Emeralds, who earned 853 points with multiple superiors and ROMs.
Emmi is double registered, AQHA and Regular Registry APHA (she is a minimal W20 overo). She is 5 panel and OLW negative, and homozygous black. We think she will be a lovely cross to our stallion, Good N Lazy.
Emmi is broke to ride and has been shown at several Open shows. She is a beautiful mover with a nice front leg and a great hock. Check our short YouTube video below to see Emmi in action.
Emmi first foal was born in 2022, she had a lovely dark bay filly that carried W20, and was a carbon copy of her mama! Stella is in a show home here in Alberta, and prepping for the upcoming show season as a yearling.
Emmi is due March 30/23. She has a 25% chance of producing a tobiano, a 25% chance of a W20 overo, a 25% chance of producing a foal with both tobiano and W20, and a 25% chance of having a Solid. No matter the pattern, foal will be guaranteed to make Regular Registry.
Eggs and Art – The Tradition of Pysanky
Eggs and art. Those are two words most people don’t often connect, unless it’s spring and one is thinking of Easter. In the Ukraine, though, egg art is a centuries old tradition, and people design and decorate the eggs year-round, as well as collect and prize them as fine and treasured art.
The word “Pysanky” comes from the Ukrainian word that means “to write.” The term is used in relation to these beautiful eggs because they are not simply dyed in the way with which we are most familiar. The intricate designs are drawn, or “written,” on them with beeswax in a long process of alternating drawing and dying in progressively darker dyes, until, after the darkest dye has been used, usually black, all the wax is melted off with a candle to reveal a myriad of colors and designs. Each time wax is added, it protects the color it covers, which creates something of a wax-resist effect on the surface of the egg. When the wax is melted off at the end of the process, each of the dye colors, plus the white of the egg is revealed.
Here, an artist has already penciled a design on an egg, and is putting the first layer of ax on to protect the original white of the eggshell.
After the original layer of wax was applied, the egg was dipped in the lightest of the dyes to be used. In this picture, the yellow and light orange dyes have already been used. The artist is applying more wax before moving on to the next darker dye.
The original artist were forced to use a limited palette, due to being restricted to the dyes that could be readily made from the available natural resources. Today, there are many more colors available, but many artists restrict themselves to the colors that have been used for millenia. Those colors are white, yellow, gold, red, green, and black
Once all of the designs have been drawn and the egg has been soaked in each of the dyes, the next task is to remove all of the wax with a candle.
The tradition of Pysanky predates the Christian influence in the area of the Ukraine. The original artists were those who practiced the original religions of the region – various forms of paganism. The designs they drew on the raw, flawless eggs that would become Pysanky held symbolic meanings in their religion and related their mythology. In 988 A.D., when the Ukrainian region accepted Christianity, the tradition and the symbols lived on. Some of the symbols were just given new meanings. For instance, the eggs were often shared and offered as gifts in the spring, when new life was all around. After the people began practicing Christianity, the eggs became a symbol of resurrection. The triangle which had before represented the cycle of life – birth, life, and death – became a symbol of the Trinity. Other designs, though, have maintained their original symbolism.
