1994 AQHA Buckskin Stallion 
(Paradise Seeker x Skip's Lily by Skipper W) 
Owned by Natalie J. Nelson of Cross 5 Ranch

Paradise put Nat in the horse breeding business. She was in the market for a riding horse, and found this beautiful stallion as a 5 year old.  Sired by Paradise Seeker (Impressive x Bay Seeker by Goldseeker Bars) and out of mare bred by the master breeder Hank Wiescamp, Skip's Lily (Skipper W x Skipper's Flower by Skipper W).  Paradise turned out to be an excellent trail horse and proved himself as a 10 year old in a NATRC sanctioned competitive trail ride, finishing 5th out of over 60 riders!  When Nat met her husband, Glenn Lang; the stallion got other jobs such as a rodeo pick up horse and general ranch work.

Justa Kid 
2001 APHA Sorrel Overo Stallion
(TQ Kid x Lees Tia by Impressive Lee)
Owned by Cross 5 Ranch

In 2000 after intensive discussion; Cross 5 Ranch went on a search for an APHA stallion prospect.  A matrix was developed of requirements, a desirable prospect would have a World Class sire, a World Class dam, good conformation, halter and performance pedigree, presence, loud color and HYPP N/N.  Many were looked at and many didn't pass the matrix, until a colt by TQ Kid was found.  Purchased at a month old, Cross 5 Ranch got the privilege of naming the colt.  The colt arrived at the ranch on the tragic day of 9-11-01, after hauling all night from Colorado with two bucking bulls! Unfortunately we had to geld him his first breeding season as he was unable to get mares in foal. So he was gelded, put into training and put to work.

Faded Tribute 
2002 APHA Sorrel Breeding Stock Stallion
(Tributes Mister x Sonnys Honey Dunit)
Owned by Cross 5 Ranch

At the 2003 AQHA Convention there was a proposal on the table to allow all AQHA to AQHA crosses to be registered.  We purchased this colt due to being 100% quarter horse but registered APHA due to his sire being the result of two AQHA crop outs. The proposal passed the general membership vote, but in the first time in the history of the AQHA Convention the Board of Directors voted it down.  It was put back on the table for the 2004 Convention and passed. Faded Tribute did receive his AQHA registration.

Oblivious 
2005 APHA Sorrel Breeding Stock Stallion
(Obvious Conclusion x Secret Obsession 
by Obsesed To Impress)
Owned by Cross 5 Ranch
 

We purchased this colt in 2005 as a weanling, registered him and choose his name. We chose Oblivious because we are oblivious that he's a solid - it doesn't matter to us! He proved that the lack of spots didn't hinder his show record. We hope he proves himself in the breeding shed as well.  Then we can be totally oblivious to his lack of color.

Dual Tribute 
2006 APHA Sorrel Breeding Stock Stallion
Sired by: Faded Tribute by Tributes Mister 
Out of : Mystified Tribute by Tributes Mister
 

 "Dually" was the result of line breeding a Tributes Mister son to a Tributes Mister daughter. We couldn't of been more pleased with this colt's balance and eye appeal. He has excellent conformation and an awesome temperament. The only think he lacks was qualifying white. Nat liked him so much she was going to make him into her show gelding and go for the PAC high point halter and show him in breeding stock geldings at the APHA shows. But, someone wanted him for a stallion prospect and was sold.
