Especially in this economy, Its Good to be Gold...
We stand 2 stallions that help you create your own little gold nugget... whether for your own "pleasure" or as a smart choice in the horse market for buyers to choose from.
Stats First Goodbar, aka "Lil E" is an AQHA cremello
(read our cremello page for all your color questions!)
that will guarantee you palomino and buckskin foals.
There are a few considerations,(read that on the color page, too) in the IF for AQHA and BT for APHA...also in NSBA, NCQHA Breeders, CVPHA(paints and quarters), whew!
Little E's sire is Goodbar in Gold, he is a multiple Reserve World Champion in Western Pleasure, has ROMs in Hunter Under Saddle, Western Pleasure, and Trail...He was also the Hi Point Performance Horse in the nation while he was showing.
Versatility is a hard thing to find in the pleasure horse industry today.
I had the pleasure to watch this young stallion show and win while I was also showing PHBA. His demeanor and attitude from one class to the next impressed everyone around.
So many people think that just having a good sire is going to get you a good foal. It probably will. But having a good sire and a GREAT dam, your chances are even higher for creating a champion...His Dam, Stats Nicolette has one of the best performance records in the palomino line, and has proven herself in the show ring time and time again with 6 world and reserve championships and over 2000 points in events such as western pleasure, youth trail, horsemanship, hunter under saddle and showmanship. She is still showing into her 20s today with a new little girl.
Double Creek purchased Lil E in the fall of '10. He is broke to ride, and rides beautifully, but was unshown due to his owners' other commitments(not horse related) to life, this does not mean that he can't show, he just missed the young-horse futurity window that many stallions are promoted in. His owner also owned the sire, and the dam, so it was not her top priority to promote the son, as she had 'the factory' (ha ha). There is a video below taken after 3 years without being saddled. Litereally, pulled out of the pasture, brushed off and ridden. To me, that showed me a huge willing disposition, and memory recovery that was very impressive. Love his personality. I have some 'liberty' footage I will upload for you to view as well.
Lil E has the size to really help produce a nice all around capable horse, at 16h he can still help them jog and lope, as well as long-trot and be able to canter for the english. Nice free shoulder and 'lift' get that front leg 'out there' for the lope required to do well in todays performance events. The goodbar 'hock' and impulsion from behind creates a beautiful, deep stride that enables the horse to drive up underneath himself and prepare the lope or canter correctly in a rhythmic, not-hurried stride. Gorgeous headed with the classic Skipa Star influence.
Little "E" has NO IMPRESSIVE in his lineage whatsoever. In fact, if the NFQHA(foundation horse association) would accept cremellos as registration, he would be eligible for 96% foundation registry. They do not allow double dilutes into their registrars. Its okay, we all know what he is. Here is a link to his lineage, to see as far back as you'd like: Stats First Goodbar Full Pedigree
Not that Impressive is a bad thing in a horse, he created beautiful bodies and strides for future generations to awe over...but we don't like Impressive all over the pedigree, and "E" is an excellent outcross for your Impressive bred mares, to add just enough foundation and modern influence while still going the pleasure direction.
Lil E will guarantee buckskins when bred to bay or black mares. There are some considerations, such as if your mare carries a grey, dun or roan gene, read our Cremello color page for full details, or give me a call. He will 100% of the time produce palominos when bred to your red(sorrel or chestnut) mares.
Look at what an edge you will have to offer the buyers market in the sea of sorrels and bays...yours will be buckskin and palomino!

Our other stallion to offer for your breeding consideration is
CR Hes Good Money, an AQHA buckskin/dunskin that is also 16h with tons of beauty and presence; he will surely pass on to his foals, his first ones are due Spring of 2012
CB is also broke to ride, we purchased him in the fall of 2010 along with "E"(from different farms) and he had been in the stall for over a year...no turnout, no riding, just 'up' in the stall. We hope to get him out on the trails more this year, and might even do the sorting or other cattle events with him.
CB's bloodlines can be seen here: CR Hes Good Money
Like "E", CB has no impressive blood and crosses well with Impressive pedigrees on your mare side.
His lineage is made of foundation Quarter Horses that have made an impact on the Barrel Racing, Cutting and Reining industry. His sire has sired many money earning Barrel Racing horses.
CB is one of the softest, smoothest horses I've ever ridden. Its amazing how he can stretch and trot, lengthen and canter, then come right back down and jog like a pleasure horse. Beautiful to watch at play, he naturally changes leads when he changes directions and has the ability to "rollback" and turnaround on his own. Neat horse right here. We bought him and were going to geld him...but honestly there isnt a thing I would change about how he is minded, put together, or looks. He is the kind of stallion that deserves a chance to better the horse world. The kind that deserves to reproduce!
