Stallions

$350 for each stud!

 
 Mare care at Golden Gaits Farm is $10 dry/$12 with foal. Live Foal guarantee!

(The First Aurora also has a double color guarantee!)

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).

As of June 1, 2011, we are not offering shipped semen on either stallion. Bryant's heavy work schedule, the absence of hired help on the farm, and the unpredictability of having a mare in heat when we need to collect a stallion, prevent us from being able to reliably ship semen when the mare owner needs it. We do have some proven frozen doses from The First Aurora that we would be willing to sell if the buyer sends us the nitrogen shipping container to ship out the straws. We hope to have him collected and frozen soon with semen stored at a facility that can easily ship the frozen doses out. We will also collect and freeze Bandit if there is enough interest. We apologize for this inconvenience to far-away mare owners interested in breeding to our boys!

BOTH STALLIONS ARE NOW REGISTERED SMHA

(Spotted Mountain Horse Association-

 a registry created by the owners of Ky Mtn Association

Curly Gaits Horse Enthusiasts! We are offering Aurora's Lucky Gold at stud on the farm during the summer of 2012! He is a homozygous tobiano smoky black gaited CURLY colt! Get more information on our For Sale page!

 Stud Fee $350
Anyone familiar with the Spotted Saddle Horse industry knows that Bandit is one of the top stallions in the industry. He is a Golden Supreme Champion and has won 20 World Champion titles and 8 World Grand Champion titles- mostly in Open Shod classes.
 He is a 22 year old gorgeous dark buckskin tobiano with a walk that won't quit. His babies are proving themselves in the halter show ring and now under saddle.
 Bandit has an incredibly sweet disposition and a heart of gold. Shortly after we purchased Bandit, Chris Jackson brought him from Tennessee and took him to the NC State Fair for us. He convinced Bryant to ride him in the Lite Shod Championship class. Bryant had never been on Bandit before, and had only been in the show ring a handful of times. Bryant jumped on Bandit two minutes before ring time and Bandit gave him the ride of his life by winning the Lite Shod Championship, in an impressive class of horses!
There's a lot to be said about a horse that can win this consistently with any rider!

   

These 4 photos were taken 3-7-09. 20 years old and still fabulous!

 

Bandit has been the model for the Tennessean bridle in the National Bridle catalog for many years!

         

  

  

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!
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!

      

 

Dusty Bandit, GGF

...here is a 2008 stunning colt owned by Southern Star Farm in Georgia. In training with Dicky Gardner, Dusty did well in halter classes in 2009 and is bringing home blues in trail pleasure as a 2 year old this year!! Dusty is the 2010 NSSHA 2 y.o. Amateur Trail Pleasure World Grand Champion! He is also a 2011 NSSHA Country Trail Pleasure World Grand Champion!

We have his full sister (Sensational Snowstorm) and dam (Sensational Stardust) for sale

 

UnArmed, GGF

...another talented colt...this one a solid buckskin gelding owned by the Showalters in PA.

This picture speaks for itself!

 


The First Aurora, GGF

Cremello, homozygous tobiano TWHBEA, NSSHA, SMHA, SSHBEA !

Double color guarantee!

     

Beautiful RJ is the 2009 Reserve World Champion NSSHA Model Horse! The three judges cards had a first place tie, a second place tie and he was absent from one card. Wonder what happened there? Two of his sons took second place ribbons in weanling and yearling classes at the 2009 NSSHA Fall Championship Show!  Thank you Daniel for making these boys look like pure gold!

RJ and Daniel won a Top Ten ribbon in the Model Stallion class at the 2010 TWHBEA Celebration!

RJ was 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.

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.  He was the 2009 NSSHA Reserve World Champion Model horse, and a 2010 TWHBEA Top Ten Model Stallion ribbon winner! 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. 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 is currently $350.

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!"

  < RJ showing off his magical unicorn powers!

 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.

 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.

 

 

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.........?????
