Hope has a phenominal way of going. When we first met Hope, she had only been ridden a handful of times. When Jarred climbed on her back bareback with a halter, she stepped right off at a running walk. Hope naturally drops her backend and strides deep underneath herself. She plants her feet rather than "skates", giving a truer walk than is commonly seen. She has a kind, sweet disposition and loves attention. "Hope" is a direct daughter of Lined with Cash, who was out of the great mare, Gen's Silver Lining (Pride's Generator x Sun's Eldorado daughter.) Lined with Cash was directly by Pride's Gold Coin and out of the top producing mare Delight's Joanna (by Sun's Delight D.) Pride's Gold Coin was by Pride of Midnight H.F., a direct son of Midnight Sun out of the stylish and talented Pride of Stanley. Hope's dam, Sweepstake's High Hopes was directly by Sweepstakes. She has produced absolutely wonderful foals for us. Her first two colts (both buckskins by Gambler's Midas Touch WF) were dark gold, brilliant, and 100% naturally gaited. Her third foal, Snip's High Hope WF, (a homozygous black filly by Remembrance's Merry Snip) is equallty brilliant and naturally gaited with a bold, fearless disposition. We have retained her for our breeding program. Hope was bred back to Remembrance's Merry Snip and foaled a stunning black colt, Snip's Midnight Legacy WF, on 5-26-2020.
