GOLDFINGER'S PRIDE

GFPride.jpg (31299 bytes)

Presenting Pride "in motion" is an effort to show the viewer why we selected him for our stallion. We invite you to examine closely all four of his feet and their placement. The word Singlefoot offers a clue that something is happening with only one foot. In this picture the right front is the only foot firmly placed on the ground. The rest are in their 4 beat cycle.

In itself this is not remarkable. However, notice the stride in the hind. It is relaxed, driving, forward and without excessive hock action. Compare the lift in the front. It is eye appealing, dramatic, smooth & natural, yet within the scope of the rules of the breed. The reach is fully extended using the movement to complete the forward motion. Appreciate the level headset, displaying his ease of performance and calmness.

Pride stands at 15.2+ hands. He is built to travel. On the trail his versatility to traverse our gold country terrain in gait from "creepy-crawly" speed to flying "all out racking" is beyond delightful. We attribute this range of speeds to his short back, sleek long underline, powerful long shoulder and God given talent. His eyes are aa.

His beauty cannot be denied. As he greets our visitors with arched neck and golden eyes peeking through two feet of white mane and forelock like whipped cream frosting on his shimmering golden body, they stand in awe. He’ll easily demonstrate in hand for them "what the gait is". Then pose for their picture taking.

Just eight years old, his progeny is demonstrating that, he is passing these important traits to them. We are seeing in his colts and fillies bold individuals with outgoing personalities, beauty and exciting gait during play.

Pride is a certified to breed Mountain Pleasure Horse and Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse stallion.

Don’t wait. Get some Pride in your barn
