Well, I can :lol:
This mare’s daddy, Sultan’s American Dream was bred by Ruxer Farms. Ruxers also bred Sultan’s Sultan, a full brother to Supreme Sultan, and the sire of the mare’s second dam. Ruxer’s owned Valley View Supreme, who was not long lived, and raised Supreme Sultan, who replaced his sire. Supreme Sultan sired (if memory serves) nearly 1000 named foals, which for an ASB, is a bunch. They bred their flagship stallion to their own mares sired by Wing Commander, which brought beauty and athleticism to the cross. Beauty- from the refinement of Sultan, and athleticism from the Wing Commander lines. The othr cross that was super successful for them was the Grandviews mare- like Duchess, etc. O(n a set of papers, of I see Sultan, I want to see a powerhouse a mare as the dam of whatever I am looking at on the papers. I just think it comes down to a much better athlete.
Sultan’s American Dream was extensively used by the breeder of this mare to try and raise futurity horses. For a time, there was big money in those futurities, and you need a very fancy colt with alot of stretch and bounce to them. This mare was shown as a young horse, like many others. The problem is that those horses very, very seldom went on to success in the ASB show world as performance horses. So, the good news is that they got alot of handling, and the bad news is that many of them became cast offs.
This mare’s dam is by Chubasco, who was the nine time leading sire of the breed. That sounds impressive, but Chubasco’s owner had the money to breed enough horses and show them to earn those points- primarily in futurities, once again. Chubasco was a handsome pinto horse. I like Chubasco because he is a grandsom of Yorktown- my favorite son of Wing Commander. I have on of the last Chubasco daughters here on the farm. Your mare has one more cross to Wing Commander through his son, Wing Rhythm, on the bottom of her papers. All three of those horses were notable five gaited champions- Wing Commander, Wing Rhythm, and of course, Yorktown.
She is pretty, I am sure, with a lovely eye and shape to her head, and she should be a sound horse, well into her 20’s, absent any bad care that might have befallen her She may well have two front feet that are a bit different from each other- one a bit higher in the heels, but her hind feet, and the over all quality of her feet should be great. Have fun with her!
