"Kitty"

Big, Gentle 16.1H 14-yr-old Beautiful Buckskin Tennessee Walking Horse Mare

 

 

buckskin Tenn Walker mare

"Kitty" -- Extremely smooth and athletic tall drink o' water! She is 16.1H of gentle spirit, and on many occasions, she has been turned out to pasture for months and months, and then with no prep, we just bring her back up and throw a saddle on her and take a ride, or even throw her on the trailer and haul to the trails. She has had two beautiful colts, the first which is a gorgeous bay, and the second is on her side now, a beautifully marked robust bay and white colt. Kitty was put through our training program when she was started under saddle and is trained to back, side pass, pivot, forehand turn, move off leg pressure, step over logs to be mounted in the woods,ride by highway traffic, tractors, 4 wheelers, cattle, chickens, turkeys, goats, and will stall or pasture, but has spent much of her life in the pasture. She rides beautifully smooth with no trick to shoeing -- she has spent most of her life barefoot and performs a super smooth four beat racking gait, as well as a smooth canter, barefoot. Delightfully athletic, she'd make a great mountain horse. She is for sale in a 2-for-1 package with her TWHBEA spotted colt for $6500 for the pair.

Check out this picture, taken 3/23/10, and the one below of Cody riding Kitty, taken just a few days before.  What a difference a curry comb can make!!  All that golden summer hair is showing . . . her face still has a little winter 'buttermilk' buckskin color on it, but a couple more weeks and she'll be shed out.

Started under saddle with a halter, this is her 2nd time (on 4/15/09) with a bit in her mouth, double reins, one on nose band and one on the snaffle. This allows for a soft mouthed horse. She already knows how to yield her front, hindquarters, side pass, back, drive, canter on correct leads and walk slow on verbal commands.

Kitty's first colt, Gunslinger, now an outstanding sire:

 

 

 

 

Only 6 hours old here, he was born during the wee hours of 4/16/09.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kitty at three years of age, right before her huge growth spurt, and in her 'winter coat'.

"Kitty" -- BIG mare!  Sweet, sweet, gentle and oh, so willing to please.  She is a beautiful solid buckskin (no white!) Tennessee Walking Horse mare sired by a stunningly beautiful buckskin Tennessee Walking Horse stallion by a World Grand Champion Spotted Saddle Horse who was sired, himself, by the nation's premier Spotted Saddle Horse stallion "Spotted Alen Again",  and out of a Triple Threat bred mare who just happens to be a half sister to my own stallion, "Go Boy's Champagne Pride".  (Her mane is on the other side, and we will be posting better pictures soon.)  Notice that she has four full long black stockings -- when buckskins are babies, these stockings don't show!  (Scroll to bottom of this page to see her baby picture.)

Here is her sire:

 

 

Kitty was bred shortly after she turned three years old, and just foaled a beautiful bay stud colt (on 4/16/09) by the most beautiful palomino Tennessee Walking Horse stallion you've ever seen (see below) who, in fact, was so beautiful and had such great conformation that he was featured in the Boy Scout's handbook (we have a copy).  You can click on his picture, below to see more of him:

 

(Sire of Kitty's 2009 stud colt)

This sweetheart mare is currently being trained in the round pen (Clinton Anderson methods) for a great foundation and will be worked with her foal ponied along side her.  He will be imprinted and allowed to follow along -- what a great start in life he will have!

 

Kitty's paternal great grandsire:

Spotted Alen has attained an unprecedented record of producing winning show horses. Alen's offspring up to 1999 have won 84 World Championships, 62 Reserve World Championships, and 411 divisional World Champion wins. Alen's year 2000 totals include 2 World Grand Championships, 6 Reserve World Grand Championships, 7 World Champions and 6 Reserve World Champions. In the past 5 years 2 of the World Grand Champion Spotted Saddle Horses were sired by Spotted Alen. In 1995 it was Alen's Lethal Weapon and in 2000 it was Pride of Alen Again.

Spotted Alen Again is registered with four different registries: The Spotted Saddle Horse Breeder's and Exhibitor's Association, the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association, the Racking Horse Breeders Association, and the National Spotted Saddle Horse Association.

And her great grandsire on her dam's side is:

 

 

This is Kitty, still wet after her birth.  Notice that her black stockings are hard to see.

 

 

This is Kitty at 9 days of age.  Notice how her stockings are just shadows on her legs.  Most people don't realize that buckskins are born with these 'shadows' and as they get older (around 6 - 8 months of age), the hair sheds off and the black stockings are clearly visible.  From then on, the black stockings are ALWAYS visible.
