Hello! We are Ron and
Glenda Deziel. We welcome you to our 'Home on the Web' and sincerely hope that
you enjoy your visit.
Lovin 'R ' Paints is located by Gadsby,
Alberta, Canada. Gadsby is the smallest village in Alberta and is about 22km
(12miles) east of Stettler.
We fell in love with the paint horses many years ago and have worked to produce
outstanding colorful foals with good working cow horse bloodlines - in
particular Poco Bueno, King, Doc Bar, and Skipper W.
When we started out, we could not find a paint horse in our area, with Poco
Bueno up front in their pedigree. And certainly not a black and white. Always
looking for a challenge, we started with one good bay paint mare and said that
we were going to work to produce well colored paint foals with Poco Bueno lines.
It's been an interesting journey so far - a few laughs, a few tears, a few
sleepless nights. But overall it has been good!
Our lives revolve around our small but select
mare band. We believe that good horses come from good horses. We also
believe that disposition and conformation is a must - color is a bonus! Colored or not, each one has their own
personality that make them unique.
We have chosen to be a breeding farm
only. We are not trainers nor do we offer boarding or showing services - simply
breeding and producing high quality foals. After several back operations
and finally a spinal fusion, Ron is limited in many of his activities. And as we
are 'middle-aged teenagers' without family near, we have decided to keep things
manageable without giving up our goals. We have three stallions, all of
which we bred and raised. The oldest is a solid brown breeding stock stallion
who is 25.51% Poco Bueno bred. He has both Poco Bueno and Doc Bar on his
pedigree and he has been the foundation in our
breeding program. So, starting with a solid to producing color, meant that we
had to learn a lot about genetics. It has been a fun and interesting journey!
Every spring we know the 'possibles' of our breeding and we even bet with each
other on the outcomes. Whether we win or lose, we enjoy it and we are thankful
that we are able to share our lives with these wonderful creatures!
We offer foals that are not only
pleasing to the eye, but athletic, smart and eager to learn. Foals that
will become a willing partner for their owners and that they will be proud to
own. Whether you are a breeder or want to show, or just like to spend your spare
time trail riding, we invite you to look at our foals.
We wish to encourage everyone to follow your dream always!

update June 16th, 2006 - Bug is now 13 ½ years old
and still has 'attitude'!
It
is with great sadness and a broken heart that
we announce that our dear little Bug passed away November 13th, 2006. She has
been a true friend in every way and helped us through rough times and shared the
good times. She was a little trouper until the very end. She waited until we
woke up at 3:30 am, then came over and laid at my feet. She died in our arms -
she had waited to say good bye! We have been truly blessed by being able to
share our life with Embers Firebug and she will always hold a special place in
our hearts.
