We know that the Mikal Spooner and her sister, Morgan Applewhite, know
good horses. They tend to pull in some great horses with older
bloodlines with their training and breeding program, so when we were
looking for a stud to outcross with some of our mares, Pam reached out
to see what stallions they had available. When Pam forwarded me the
photo above with a video of him walking I loved what I saw. I hadn't
even seen his pedigree yet, but when I did, I could see exactly why he
moves the way he does.
We love the substance, disposition and versatility of the
Gen's
Armed and Dangerous bloodline and he is a direct
son. A&D horses are known throughout the show, versaility and field
trial worlds. Though
they're vastly different arenas, his offspring excel in them all.
Solid brains, good work ethic, athleticism...he threw the total
package. A&D got his flashy flaxen chestnut coloring from his sire,
Pride's
Generator. His heavier bone came from his dam, Melana
Ebony - a direct daughter of
Ebony
Masterpiece.
The bottom side of his pedigree was no less impressive. His dam,
Pridey, was a direct daughter of the stylish, influential stallion,
Pride of Midnight H.F.,
and out of Delightful Woman, a daughter of the great broodmare sire,
Sun's Delight D.
Pretty Woman, the dam of Delightful Woman, is a direct daughter of
Sun's Jet Parade.
Sort of a throwback to his great grandfather, don't you think? Though
I have to say he does have a more refined head like the
POM horses.
Owned by Mikal Spooner of Hoffman, NC. He was still standing at stud at
24 years of age. He passed away peacefully in his sleep at 25 years of
age.

they're vastly different arenas, his offspring excel in them all.
