This colt is IT - the beauty, brains, and GAIT! He is laid back, but intelligent. He walks and shakes but won't have the dreaded "camel walk." He will be able to sail at a saddle gait. This colt would be a phenominal field trial, trail, or breeding stallion. He has excellent bone. I suspect he is buckskin roan (If you've never seen a buckskin roan, check out Touch of Bronzed Sunshyne!) He could be homozygous for black.
The colt's dam, Can't Touch Her Blues, was bred by Greg Strausbaugh of Mifflinburg Pennsylvania and raised by WW Farms of Pavo, Georgia, just a stone's throw from where Jarred grew up. Ashlynn Williams purchased the mare when Winston Way sold his breeding herd and we met her on a visit with Ashlynn. I was struck by her natural, loose way of going, excellent bone and build. She also has one of THE most confident, self assured dispositions, ever. She is the first to come investigate and seems to have no fear, period. She is also one of the most strikingly beautiful mares you'll ever come across. She carries the bloodlines of Generator's DR Blue, Pride's Generator, Quarterback Stock, The Pusher CG, Pride's Favorite, Pride's Ultra Threat, Pride's Favorite, Pride's Choice Cut, Pride of Midnight, and Midnight Sun. Her heavy "Pride" breeding is where she gets her refined beauty, but she has retained heavier bone and laid back disposition, which is perfect.
His sire is our big perlino stallion, Darrah's Handsome Traveler, who comes from working western bloodlines, Elsie Darrah's breeding program and the Rise and Shine program. Handsome's sire, Captain's Cream Color, was bred by Arrow's Walkers out of two Calvin Miller bred horses. Captain's Cream Color was affectionately nicknamed "Traveler" and Micki will tell you that he was her heart horse the way that his half brother, Golden Gambler, is mine. While in Micki's program, Traveler left a legacy of naturally gaited, golden walking horses with stellar dispositions. Handsome's dam, Darrah's Ivory Rose, was my dream mare. I tried to buy her from Micki when she was two, but she wouldn't sell at the time. When the time came that Micki was ready to retire, I happily brought Rosie into my breeding program. She quickly became one of Jarred's favorites due to her exceptional size, bone and movement. "She's the perfect mare for producing field trial mounts!" Rosie's dam was the cornerstone of Elsie's program, Fireball's Mountain Maid. Rosie's sire was Royal Ivory, perhaps the most well known cremello walking horse stallion of all time. Elsie wrote of Royal Ivory in her colored stallion review: "Royal Ivory is my all time favorite cremello stallion and he is a key player in my breeding program. He has it all: pedigree, color, gentle disposition, natural walking ability and good conformation. He will do anything you ask of him. He is an excellent trail riding horse and is used to pull a horse-drawn hearse in parades. He is the perfect gentleman as a breeding stallion. His foals have the same gentle disposition as their sire. If you are looking to add color, conformation, natural walking ability and personality to your foals, Royal Ivory is for you." He is owned by Kimberly Gentry of Tennessee! Kimberly is now raising quarter horses and is offering Atlas up for sale. Her number is 615-809-8115.
