McCurdy's Excalibur is a stocky, well built mare with a gorgeous, feminine face. She has a fabulous disposition and loves people. Not only is she a proven producer, she is a delightful riding horse. She has a smooth, four beat saddle gait and sweet canter. She is brave, bold and loves to hit the trails.

Her sire, McCurdy's Roan Lightning, was a registered foundation McCurdy horse and a pillar of the Way's WW Farms breeding program until his death in 2018. He was bred to be a a smooth, gentle utilitarian horse that can perform in the field. His offspring are renowned in the field trial world for their comfortable way of going, endurance and good sense.

Her dam, Excaliburs Secret Lady, was a direct daughter of Ebony's Excalibur, the last World Champion son of WGC, Ebony Masterpiece and out of a daughter of Go Boy's Shadow. Her dam, Secret's Country Girl, was by the great bay stallion, WGC Pride's Secret Threat and out of a direct WGC GLL'S Carbon Copy daughter.

She was bred in Alabama, the moved to Nebraska to Aksarben Walkers. We narrowly missed purchasing her when she sold to Donald Godbee in Georgia. He graciously allowed us to purchase her in 2021.

I tell people Callie is mine, or maybe more accurately, I am hers. In the field, she believes that I am "HER" human and she's always first in line for attention and affection. She whinnies and talks to me like we're the best of friends. She's also my enforcer. I was teaching another mare's colt to lead in the pasture, and that mare dared to pin her ears while walking with me. My Callie girl left her own filly at the hay wagon and came flying to my side and explained in no uncertain terms that I was HER person and "how DARE she." She escorted me while I worked the colt for the rest of the lesson and made his mother stay 20' away with just a look.  

Once, Callie's filly managed to get herself stuck underneath of the hay feeder. As soon as I came home, Callie came screaming to the fence to meet me and made the biggest scene. As soon as I walked to her, she started pushing me to where her filly was, while nickering to me. I grabbed the filly's feet and pulled her back out so she could stand up properly and Callie rubbed her head on me and nuzzled me while making such a fuss you would've thought I had single handedly saved the nation.

Callie stands 15h with the presence of a 16h horse. She's a tank, but has the prettiest head and ears I think I've ever seen on a horse. She's just gorgeous inside and out. She loves my kids and she's a great mother herself.
