Handsome's second foal is everything that we had hoped for: quiet natured, friendly, excellent bone and size and natural gait. Her buckskin tobiano coloring is a lovely bonus. Arwen's 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." Her dam, Fury's Shadow Star, is one of the sweetest, brightest mares you'll ever find. She is affectionate and friendly, even with her newborn at her side. She is also exceptionally calm and trusting. She teaches her babies how to enjoy human company. She has a good amount of step to her and a square, 4 beat gait that she passes to her foals. She stands 15.2h barefoot on concrete with great bone and substance. She is homozygous tobiano and black, so she will always throw black-based spotted foals. This filly has a 50% chance of being homozygous for black. Arwen has been selected by Susan Montgomery of Maryland. We can't wait to follow thier adventures in the future.
