Golden Gambler Foal GalleryWe know that only superior mares produce superior foals. That is why we have very carefully hand selected a few top quality mares. They were selected based on a combination of: conformation, disposition, gait, bloodlines, and then color. There mares represent some of the best bloodlines in the walking horse breed as well as true versatility. When we select a stallion to cross with our mares, we are careful to cross two horses that will improve upon each other to create a better foal. All of our foals are imprinted at birth and handled daily. We wean our foals between 4 - 6 months depending on the condition of the mare and foal. We typically wean stud colts a little earlier if they show signs of stallion-like behavior. When we register our foals, we stamp the names of the foals that are a result of our carefully managed breeding program with "WF" to show our pride in these exceptional youngsters (if it will fit with our chosen name length.) If you purchase a foal from us before we register them, you may choose whether or not to use "WF" in your foal's name. Be sure to check out our PRESCHOOL ADVENTURES page to see the training that our youngsters go through.

High Flyin Special Effx x The Tennessee Stud WF
5/14/2024 -
Buckskin - Colt
$3800

This sweet, friendly buckskin colt is the first foal out of High Flyin Special Effex aka "Roo." She was bred by David and Beth Lamb. When she was a baby she had such long legs that she looked like a little kangaroo when she was lying down, hence the nickname "Roo." Roo's dam was David and Beth's good plantation pleasure show mare, Special Effects Direct, a daughter of Ebony's Director by Ebony Masterpiece. Her dam was by a son of Pride of Midnight H.F.  Special Effects Direct only produced two fillies before she passed in 2018, one of which is the very talented show mare, Special Effects Reveal ("Iris"). I've ALWAYS wanted to own an Allen All Around baby. Ever since I first saw him walking and shaking his way around the arena at the Virginia Horse Center, he's been a favorite of mine. He has the most dramatic and true transition from a flatwalk to a running walk out there. I can almost guarantee that every one of my favorite moving horses at any NC show is a direct AAA baby.

Snip's High Hope WF x The Tennessee Stud WF
5/5/2024 -
Bay - Filly
$3500

This bright, friendly bay filly is the first foal out of "Joy" (Snip's High Hope), one of the farm favorites. She has a 50% chance of being homozygous for black and a 100% chance of being an absolutely phenominal riding horse with a stellar disposition. She is her dam's first foal and will likely be a smaller horse, around 14.3-15h. She will have a naturally smooth, square gait and an easy canter. She has a blend of western and foundation bloodlines that are hard to find in modern young horses. Snip's High Hope is the product of two outstanding horses. Her sire, Remembrance's Merry Snip, is one of the last closest living links to both Midnight Sun and Merry Boy, with other great horses (Wilson's Allen, Roan Allen, the great mare Merry Legs, Go Boy's Nite Storm, Ebony Masterpiece, Society Man and an incridibly strong dam line through the Ray Corum breeding program, including Midnight Peggie P, Stormy's Ebony Doll and Ebony' Co-Ed.) Her dam, Lined's High Hope, is 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.

Dumas' Lady Bug x Respect This
5/5/2024 - Black - Colt

This black colt is absolutely massive. Though that's no surprise given that his sire is the 17h giant, Respect This and his dam, Dumas Lady Bug, stands a towering 16.2h herself. Lady Bug would be an imposing presence, except she's so very low key. When she's napping in the field, she doesn't offer to get up when I come out unless I ask her to. She doesn't mind my working with her babies. She loves when I rub her eyes and hold her sizeable head in my arms. She's not a dominant mare, despite the fact that with her size and substance she could easily overpower others. She is a daughter of I'm Dumas Walker, by The Pusher CG (by Drug Dealer by Sun's Gunsmoke by Midnight Sun.) Dumas Walker's dam was a daughter of Mark of Carbon. Lady Bug's dam was a granddaughter of Ebony Masterpiece. READ MORE

Can't Touch Her Blues x Darrah's Handsome Traveler
5/10/2023 - Buckskin - Colt
$4,500 DEPOSIT RECEIVED CONGRATULATION BROOKE WEST
This is one long, tall drink of water! A perfect butterscotch buckskin colt with no white markings. Stocky, well muscled, tall...good looking in every way! Pretty is as pretty does, but he's bred to be as pretty on the inside as he is on the out. His parents are two of the sweetest, most laid back horses you'll ever meet. Absolute love bugs. They're also great movers and this guy should excel as a trail, pleasure or field trial mount. He has a 50% chance of being homozygous for black. READ MORE

Darrahs Handsome Traveler x Lined's High Hope
5/31/2022 - Buckskin - Colt
$4,500
Hope ALWAYS throws a wonderful foal. This athletic, perfectly balanced, awesome moving buckskin 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 both white hind coronet and a star. He could be homozygous for black. He should mature at a solid, stocky 15.1h.

Sassenach WF
The Tennessee Stud WF x Pushover Some Cash
7/21/2021 - Chestnut - Filly
$6,500

Claire was named for the main character of Diana Gabaldon's series, Outlander: the fiery herione,  affectionately called "Sassenach" (Gaelic for "Outlander.") Like her namesake, Claire is brilliant, opinionated, talented and a force of nature. This gorgeous red filly can flat out MOVE. She would be an excellent flatshod show prospect, a tremendous trail horse or a flashy field trial mount! Her dam, Pushover Some Cash, is a 15.2h 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.) Gen's Silver Lining was a 10-time World Champion and World Grand Champion. In her prime she was considered one of the best mares to ever grace the show ring. She sat down on her back end, waved those front legs and shook that head every step of the way. Lined with Cash was directly by Pride's Gold Coin who was 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. Her dam is a daughter of 1990 WGC The Pushover, who was out of 1981 WGC The Pusher CG and a direct Pride of Midnight H.F. mare. Her dam's dam was a direct Mark of Carbon daughter out of a Sun's Delight D. daughter. READ MORE
