Ima Golden Cherokee
SOLD! Congrats to Shandy in England!
"They are all here safe &
sound!!! I'm delighted with all of them!! Cherokee is much prettier than her
pics & is so friendly. They arrived in the dark & had to walk down the lane to
their stables & were so sensible. The first thing they all did was eat!!"
~Shandy
1998 Grullo Mare, 15.2 hh
At her new home in England
Cherokee has a very nice, long shoulder, a deep heartgirth, and
a low-set hock. Her first foal is one we're definitely keeping, and has a
dished face, big eyes, and the lightest silver color of any grullo we've seen
lately. And that says a lot, because we have had about 30 grullos!
Cherokee's grandsire, My
Skip Vanzi has a Superior in halter, was a top 10 finisher in the AQHA World Show
as a 3 year old, and has an ROM in halter. He was a PHBA World Champion to
boot. Click his name in this paragraph to
see more info about his winnings and his gets' winnings. Her sire was a
producer of nearly 90% colored horses, and sired Rush To Be King, who sold as a
4-year-old gelding for $17,200 (see above). He probably sired more horses
that sold well, but we haven't researched that yet (too many horses, too little
time!). :-)
The thing I'd change about Cherokee is that she is sore
on her front feet. At times, she's not very gimpy at all, but at times,
she is very ouchy. I have not had her ultrasounded or x-rayed, but would
suspect navicular syndrome or thin soles. I shod her front feet on
12/31/04, and could see definite improvement even as she walked away when I let
her go. She takes much longer strides with her front feet with the shoes
on. I didn't shoe her specially in any way...just normal keg shoes and a
normal set. Not corrective methods at all. That kind of leads me to
believe that she had tender soles or pedal osteitis (which this set of shoes
could possibly fix). If you are willing to keep her front feet shod or at
least well trimmed and shaped, I think she will stay serviceably sound for you
to breed and raise some foals from.

Cherokee Information
 | Green broke, but we are selling her as a broodmare |
| Very nice, long shoulder |
| Straight legs (She has some bumps on back pasterns, though) |
| Fairly lame on her front feet periodically. At times, she's not very gimpy at
all, but at times, she is very ouchy. I have not had her
ultrasounded or x-rayed, but would suspect thin soles, navicular syndrome
or arthritis. I shod her front feet on 12/31/04, and could see
definite improvement even as she walked away when I let her go. She
takes much longer strides with her front feet with the shoes on, and it
has only been 2 days at the time I am writing this. I didn't shoe
her specially in any way...just normal keg shoes and a normal set.
Not corrective methods at all. That kind of leads me to believe that
she had tender soles or pedal osteitis. |
| Large scar on her chest from a fence wound before we bought her.
This wound could be partially why she has become tender on her front
feet, though we are not sure. |
| Great hoof wall and good shape to her hooves |
| No white |
| Show pedigree top, foundation and speed on bottom |
| Nice short head and super clean and long neck |
| Very likely that she carries the creme gene, and would therefore
produce palominos and buckskins in addition to duns, grullas, and red
duns (she has dapples, which are a characteristic of the creme gene) |
| First foal's web page...click here.
Second foal, click here.
BOTH GRULLOS! |
| She foaled at 11 months plus 8 days on the calendar with her first
foal, and within a couple days of that with her second foal. Easy to
predict, easy to handle, and a great milker. |
