This buckskin tobiano colt is massive. He is a stunning shade of dark butterscotch buckskin with the perfect tobiano markings. He has a 50% chance of being homozygous for black. He is bred to have a head full of sense, a people pleasing disposition and a naturally smooth, square gait.
His dam, Twilight's Flashy Angel, is western bred mare who was born and raised in Montana. She was brought to the east coast by our friend, Susan Montgomery. She fits the ranch horse style - thick built, good solid feet and a practical mind. She is broke to ride and has a naturally smooth gait.
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."
