JJF BELL OF THE BALL (HVK Bell Flaire x Sun South Capri)
1998 brown mare
As significant a sire as
Noble Flaire has proven to be for producing the Morgan show horse, his son HVK Bell Flaire seems destined to have even a larger impact
on the breed. Year after year Bell Flaire's sons and daughters grace the show ring, particularly in harness classes, and all seem to have
inherited Bell Flaire's distinctive beauty and balanced movement. The opportunity to obtain a Bell Flaire daughter to head our broodmare
band was too good to pass up, even if her cost was what we had budgeted for two mares. What made JJF Bell of the Ball even more
desirable
as a broodmare was that her dam was the excellent harness mare, Sun South Capri (Tug Hill Commando x Willy's Wild Jasmine). Those who saw
Capri show in park harness with Paul Stephen in the early 1990s will remember how good she was. She went on to many more wins in harness
under the ownership of the J&J Farm, then of Ft. Collins, CO.
JJF Bell of the Ball was Capri's first foal, and blends the qualities of
both her parents. Conformationally she is nearly flawless, and is one of those rare horses who looks pretty just standing in a stall.
At 23 years of age and having produced eight foals, she remains as elegant as a five year old maiden mare and has the smoothness in her
top line and the clean throat that seem to characterize all the Bell Flaire offspring. Bell also displays the intelligence and personality
for which the Bell Flaire horses are noted. We are sure one day she is going to talk to us. She loves people, but has a regal quality and
can still thrill us when she decides to put on a show in the pasture.
Bell has produced foals by HVK Dragonbeat,
Aljaks Double Whammy, Winterset Thyme N'Agin, RWJ
Commanding Topic, Minion Millennium and Tughill Commando. Her
foals have all inherited her beauty and intelligence. After she safely delivered her
2018 foal, the decision was made to retire Bell from
breeding. She has produced one excellent foal after another
for us, and has earned a life of rest and leisure at Atwood
Farm.

PERFECT CUT (Cartier x Aljaks Miss Wham I Am)
2008 bay mare
G
ary and Randy attended the 2011 Buckeye Morgan Sale with
the intention of not buying anything, They resisted the urge to bid on some very nice mares that went through the sale. But Gary
couldn't resist Perfect Cut. Sired by Cartier and out of the beautiful Aljak's Miss Wham I Am, she has presence and beauty to spare.
The purchase of Perfect Cut
gives Atwood Farm the blood of Cedar Creek Harlequin, Aljak's Double Whammy and the great mares Schiaparelli and Liberation Starbrite,
all in one individual. She is a sweetheart to have around
and gives us a horse show every time we turn her out.
Diamond foaled a beautiful filly by Minion Millennium in
2012 and upheaded colts by Roberto Cavalli (2013), and MEM The Patriot (2014).
In 2015, Diamond produced a phenomenal palomino filly sired by Ancan True Colors.
In 2016, she produced her second colt by MEM The Patriot. In April, 2018, Diamond delivered her sixth foal, a beautiful chestnut filly by Balenciaga.

ATWOOD HELIOTROPE (Minion Millennium x JJF Bell
of the Ball)
2016 chestnut mare
W
ith the decision to retire JJF Bell of the Ball from producing foals, Atwood Farm sought out a replacement. It became clear very quickly
that we couldn’t find a mare to fill Bell’s shoes that met our needs as much as her daughter, Atwood Heliotrope. Sired by the incomparable
Minion Millennium, Lia inherited her father’s size and rich chestnut coloring. She was Bell’s only produce from a Masterpiece bred stallion
and the cross was an excellent one. We had planned on a show career for Lia, but decided we needed her as a producer so that we could carry
on her dam’s bloodlines. We have no doubt that Lia will produce excellent foals and we are confident that
it was the right decision to hang on to this one. Our plans are to breed Lia early in 2021.
