This filly is as amazing as her story. Despite her "stormy" start, she is one of the most loving fillies in the pasture. She was born to a maiden mare, and sometimes the pain and stress of the birth confuses firs time Moms. Her mother did not want her at all when she was born, so we had to bottle (well, bucket) feed her at the beginning. Thanks to the "love drug", we were able to turn it around and get her back on her mother. Sierra has a gorgeous head and ears and great bone. She is a stunning shade of dark butterscotch buckskin. She has a 50% chance of being homozygous for black. She is bred to have a head full of sense, a people pleasing disposition and a naturally smooth walking gait. This filly's dam, Jazz King's Stormy Lady, is a striking black mare. She has a solid dispoisition, good work ethic and smooth natural gaits. She is by the late Jazz King, a multi World Champion and multi RWGC who has sired over 30 Pleasure and Performance World and World Grand Champions in his short time as a Breeding stallion. Jazz King is a direct son of "A Jazz Man" also a multi World Champion. His dam line contains Mark of Carbon, GLL's Carbon Copy and Merry Go Boy. Jazz King stamps his offspring with unmatched beauty and talent. Jazz King was known for his beauty and passing that beauty, as well as talent, to his offspring. Lady's dam, Touch's Silver Streak, is directly by WGC The Touch, a big boned black stallion by Another Grey John. The Grey John horses were renowned for their hardiness, stamina and good common sense. Silver Streak also carries the blood of Spirit of Midnight (by Midnight Sun) and Ebony's Bold Courier (by Ebony Masterpiece and out of a Merry Go Boy daughter). Her 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 Jackie Smith Smith of Virginia!
