This handsome, rich butterscotch gold colt is something else! He has outstanding presence. He will have a silky smooth four beat gait that won't break, making him an ideal trail or field trail prospect. He's also smart, confident and personable. He has a countershade stripe that looks like a dorsal stripe (it's not though) and a small white hind coronet, but no other white. He could be homozygous for black. He should mature at a solid, stocky 15.2h. The colt's dam is one of our top producers, Lined's High Hope, a phenominal moving mare with a sweet disposition. "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. 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." Congratulations to Jody Jackson Shaw of Ohio!
