We do not take mares with foals that are less than a month old (i.e. we do not breed mares on foal heat here at the farm). We will be glad to ship or provide semen to breed foal heat mares on your farm or at your vet's facility!
BOTH STALLIONS WERE TESTED EVA NEGATIVE MARCH 2007 and will be tested again and vaccinated this winter.
Both Bandit and RJ's semen has been frozen. Although these doses won't be approved for overseas shipment, we would consider the process if there was enough interest from breeders in other countries! We do not have a frozen semen shipper, however, and can not currently ship frozen semen in the US either.
BOTH STALLIONS ARE NOW REGISTERED SMHA

Bandit is not currently showing and is enjoying the good life.
We
occasionally ask him to take us to the trails where he is always fun and smooth!
Many thanks to Steve and Kimberly Honnell for raising such
an incredible horse, and to Johnny Ray Cole for letting us convince him to sell Bandit to us!
Bandit's sire is the legendary Spotted Alen Again and his dam is
Glory's Xmas Belle- a TWH with Ebony Masterpiece, Triple Threat and Midnight Mack K on her papers.
He is registered TWHBEA, NSSHA, RHBA,
SMHA, SSHBEA, and PtHA. He has sired
over 50% spotted foals, and about 50% buckskin foals. We believe he is
homozygous for the black and agouti genes, and also carries a brown modifier. As
far as we have seen, he has only thrown bay, buckskin, brown and sooty buckskin
foals (as well as perlinos and amber cream champagnes out of dilute mares).

The Cookie Bandit!
We just had to share these pictures- our friends Jody and Tom from Walking Proud Farm in Oklahoma bred their black tobiano TWH mare to Bandit several years ago hoping for a foal that resembled Bandit. They got their wish! This incredible guy is three years old now, homozygous for spots, doing great under saddle, and soon to be offered at stud! They call him "Chip" and he is truly a Chip off the Old Block!

Battle of Belfast, GGF
...and speaking of Chips off the Block, Battle of Belfast (Bob) is another great Bandit baby. Owned by Rocking Gait Farm in Kentucky, this hunky horse is also homozygous tobiano and very talented! He is winning his way through halter classes, unable to be shown under saddle due to an injury. He will also be offered to the public at stud.

The First Aurora, GGF
Cremello, homozygous tobiano TWHBEA, NSSHA, SMHA, SSHBEA !
Double color guarantee!

RJ is the 2007 PWHAT Fall Celebration Model Champion! What a thrill to see him win in a nice large class of solid, dark TWH's! Thanks to Arnold Warmels at Clearview Farm for a super job preparing him and showing him. We hope you'll see this pair at the 2008 TWHBEA Celebration!

Multi-World Model Champion Generator's Aurora X Georgia Town
How would you like a guarantee of a dilute (palomino, buckskin, or smokey black) AND spotted foal? Here is the total package! RJ ("Rory Junior") isn't just another colored horse. He has exquisite conformation and a gorgeous head In addition to being the 2007 PWHAT Fall Celebration Model Champion, he came in third in the Model Stallion class at the 2007 SSHBEA Fall Championship show. He was Reserve Champion Junior Model Stallion at the 2004 SSHBEA Spring Championship show. He placed 3rd in the 2004 SSHBEA Fall Show Junior Model Stallion Champion class. He placed 5th in the 2003 SSHBEA World Champion Yearling Stallion class. Add to that a sweet, willing and curious personality, and an admirable pedigree (Generator's Aurora, Pride's Generator, Sun's Delight, Spirit of Evil Knievel (Wonder Liz), Paint the Town, The Last Gold Chance). He is a naturally high stepping horse with a heart of pure gold. He is absolutely stunning in person and gets prettier and more 'showy' every day. He stands 14'3 barefoot. His semen cools and ships well and and we offer a guarantee of a dilute spotted foal (or breed back for free)! Out of sorrel or chestnut mares, RJ will ALWAYS throw a spotted palomino. Out of bay or black mares, RJ will ALWAYS throw either a spotted palomino, a spotted buckskin or a spotted smokey black. Out of dilute mares, RJ will ALWAYS throw a spotted dilute or double dilute! And wouldn't he add some pretty conformation to your foal too? His Stud Fee in 2008 is $350.Email us with your address and we will send you an information packet and a copy of the breeding contract. (You can also download the breeding contract from the link under his name, above).
NOTE: Although we are not publicly advertising RJ for sale, he can be bought! Contact us for information.

March 2007- Since we have moved to Tennessee, we get a few visitors to our farm that live and breathe Tennessee Walkers and Spotted Saddle Horses. If RJ is out in the paddock moving around, he turns heads! We get more comments on his great natural 4-beat high-stepping gait than anything else. A 'big-lick' fan asked me the other day what kind of shoes I had on him. When I said he was barefoot, the man shook his head and said "You need to put that horse in the show ring!"
Finally! We have video of RJ running at liberty in his pasture, and under saddle with Arnold Warmels at Clearview Farm. The video of him under saddle was taken only a few weeks after he was re-broke to ride by Arnold.

RJ's FOALS:
The verdict is in from owners of RJ's foals- they are breathtaking, easily trainable, willing, naturally talented movers. We are so pleased that he is producing consistently high quality, pretty, colorful foals....and that he is giving mare owners that breed to him exactly what they want! (Sorry we can't control the sex of the foal....yet....!)

Middle picture above is "Priceless Aurora, GGF" out of our mare Priceless Champagne. He won the Spotted Yearling Class at the 2008 Mississippi Spring Spotted Show. This colt is absolutely breath-taking. Stay tuned for pictures! Congratulations to the Porters!



RJ's foals are coming so fast we can hardly keep track of them! If you have an RJ foal, please send a good current picture (sized down in .jpg) so I can add it here and eventually create a foal page!.
Over and over again, RJ pleases us with foals that are very pretty-headed with stout but elegant conformation!
A note about dilute spotted foals: Cremello, perlino and champagne cream spotted foals are born with spots that are visible. Sometimes the spots are so faint they look like coffee stains! By the time the foal is a few weeks old, the spots disappear, and usually don't re-appear until the foal is about a year or more. It is extremely difficult to get a foal registered with SSHBEA or NSSHA if it doesn't appear to have spots! We strongly recommend taking pictures of your double dilute foals WHEN THEY ARE STILL WET FROM BIRTH, and then again a day or two later. These pictures will come in handy at registration time, and Coggins-drawing time. It is also a good idea to take pictures of the foal's eyes. The blue or blue-green will help prove they are double dilute. If you forget to take early pictures, wetting the foal will sometimes help show its spots. Taking the pictures in the shade will also help bring out the spots. Although RJ's spots show up in the photos above, he looked like a pure white horse between the ages of 4 weeks and 15 months!
PERSEUS, GGF
PERCY HAS BEEN GELDED AND SOLD! CONGRATS to Cali Tatum in Michigan, who knew Percy was her life-long horse before she even met him! We are thrilled that he has gone to an incredible, loving home where he will get the attention he deserves!

We have retained a small number of doses of frozen semen from Percy to breed to our own mares. We also have several mares in foal to him for 2009. Look for future Golden Gaits foals for this extraordinary boy!
Percy is a son of The First Aurora, GGF and our deceased curly mare *Star's Sage. Percy is a gorgeous curly buckskin tobiano, registered NSSHA, SSHBEA and ICHO. He is heterozygous for tobiano and curls. He has a very gentle and willing disposition, and a cute curious personality. His natural saddle gait is a foxtrot, but he is able to pace and perform a four beat saddle gait also. You can also see his first foal on our For Sale page (Sorrel tobiano colt with dam Armed For Battle).
Where is Generator's Aurora?


Would you believe he is a gelding now?.....enjoying his newfound freedom on our farm and living a new life as a trail horse! When we moved here, we decided we really needed a good dependable trail horse to enjoy our land with. We wanted pretty, and tall, and smooth. Something we knew we would be comfortable riding. We weren't breeding him much to our mares anymore because RJ's foals have proven to be elegant, sweet, smooth and pretty like Rory's. So we gelded him. He has settled nicely into gelding mode. And he is as pretty as ever! (Especially with a saddle on his back high-stepping it over our hills!) Wonder how he'd show in a Model gelding class.........?????
He is being offered for sale -$4500. See our For Sale page for recent pictures!
