Annette and Circle J Pocomelia Q-6096 (Milly)
Milly was a true all-rounder who received
many AQHA awards. Beyond her personal
impressive show career, Milly produced 12
Progeny, 10 of which are AQHA point earners,
collectively amassing over 4600 AQHA points,
121 Awards and 4 AQHA champions, among
these NRHA award winner Erin Elegant Isle
Q-36658 & NCHA award winner, Annlee Smart
Lookin Q-51335. Annlee Quarter Horse Stud’s
resident stallion, Annlee Top Gun Q-28451 is
out of Milly. An AQHA champion in his own
right, he has sired 75 progeny of which 31 are
AQHA point earners, among others competing

Milly’s highest performing daughter is Annlee
Light My Fire Q-55836, who has a life time
AQHA point total of 2264. Lill has featured in
the AQHA end of year top 10 across the board
for her entire show career, competing at every
AQHA Nationals held at ALEC. Lill came home
with National Titles every one of those years
including being High Point Senior Horse in 2015,
2016 and 2017. As well as all of that, Milly’s
daughters are proving to be valuable broodmares.
With 17 grand-children, and many competing
successfully at all levels, Circle J Pocomelia has
certainly touched some hearts in her long life,
none more so than the Annlee connections.
Milly was loaned to many grateful Youth over
her show career and, as an aged mare, brought
many improvers up through the ranks. Shown all
through her breeding years, she then went on to
babysit her daughters foals when her breeding
days were over. Milly passed away in August,
2019 - a sad loss, but a huge credit to Murray and
Shirley Davidson.
