ICHR # TW2003-0535

  

Her training:  Honey did excellently at the professional trainer's! Well started toward a show career or a great trail horse. She gaits beautifully, stands stock-still to be mounted, seems to really enjoy working under saddle and is doing well in her flexion and pattern exercises. Been ridden on roads and a bit of trail riding. I will continue riding her and training her as much as my health will allow until she is sold. The pictures of her being ridden are from late winter in March. It was the first time I'd ridden her. She still had her creamy colored winter coat on but her winter dapples show on her hips. I then wasn't able to ride her again for a month she was awesome! I thought she would have forgotten everything but she was as calm as ever and stood stock still to be tacked and mounted. After working her a half hour I had her responding to my leg cues and backing for me which she hadn't done before! She loves to work and wants to please so much! I took her on the road and she just watched as a truck and car went by. I wish I could keep her myself if she is going to be that good after so little riding time. I've ridden her several times since and it doesn't matter if it's a short time between or a long time between riding her, she is the same! She would be fantastic if ridden consistently! I had no intentions of selling this mare ~she was to be my riding mare, but personal situation and health makes it necessary.

Her color: This is a beautiful mare that changes colors with the seasons :) She is a gorgeous RARE colored Champagne Roan mare. She has really unusual coloring that changes throughout the year, but has chocolate stockings, mane and tail and a silvery chocolate body, which gives her the looks of a buckskin. I have not seen another Walker this color. She is definitely the only one of this color for sale. Most times she has a dorsal stripe on top of her hips too. I have included a picture of her different coat color the Fall of last year. In the Spring she is a beautiful buttery cream color and in the Summer she ha s a silvery Weimeraner color on her body. In the Winter she turns more golden brown. This summer she has a new color! I can hardly believe it, but she is more cream colored this summer with a lighter tint over her hips. Because of the roaning in her coat, her body is lighter than her legs, face, mane and tail, which are a deep chocolate color. Because of the Champagne coloring she has golden sparkles in each hair of her coat, mane and tail when the sun hits her. Its fun watching her change colors with the seasons. I think she seems lighter this summer because there is more roaning this year and it may increase each year for a while yet since she is still growing. She has phenomenal color potential as a breeding prospect! Her mother is a beautiful Blue Roan Tobiano that is a full sister to Star of Magic. Her father is a gorgeous Golden Champagne. I have raised Honey from a yearling and have pictures of her as a youngster with the clear blue eyes she was born with denoting her Champagne coloring.  I have a photo of her parents also.  Her freckles just started showing last year.   She is actually a classic champagne but the roaning changes her coat coloring to a beautiful silver brown with chocolate points.  Her mother’s side of her pedigree is from Evil Stuntman’s lineage. With double dilutes she could easily throw the double creams and cream champagnes also. (Written by seller, edited by the ICHR webmaster.)

Please be sure you include all requested info in your email.About emailing the ICHR:  Horse color questions cannot be answered without the horse's breed and registered name, if any.  Due to the extensive research conducted by the ICHR, we are usually able to determine if a horse has champagne in its pedigree by recognizing the names of ancestors we have determined were actually champagne.  These champagne sources are listed in the right column of each entry in our stud book!
