(UPDATED August 08)

The Days of Gold and Nights of Gold foals will all be multi registered with two to five registrations - if you like winning ribbons and sashes, this means you can go to a show and be eligible for many events rather than just a couple. They are throwing exceptional quality horses without any of the common faults being found in many horses today, such as club hooves or offset cannons: they have good shaped hooves, well sloped pasterns, straight legs with joints that really move (lovely hock action - no 'welded hocks'  or post hocks here!), they have good hindquarters and the good even shape of horses that do well at halter, lovely intelligent heads and wonderful temperaments. After the first few weeks in the foaling paddocks, the mares and foals are turned out into larger paddocks - 10 to 30 acres - where the foals can gallop over rough ground and up and down hills to ensure they develop good, sure footed action.

The foals that have been shown to date have been very successful.  In 2006/07, one of the highest points earning weanling Quarter Horses in Australia was Divine Nights, who is by Nights of Gold.  Some wins by Divine Nights: Supreme Quarter Horse Exhibit, Toowoomba Royal; many other Supremes, AA futurity and class wins, champions, First All Breeds Futurity at the All Breeds Qld Youngstocks Show and first Buckskin Futurity as well as Best Foal of Show at Youngstocks.   

In the past few year,  Days and Nights offspring have won many classes, champions and supremes under their various registrations.  All three winners of the Palomino Foal, Buckskin Foal and Cremello/Perlino Foal classes at Youngstocks were by Nights of Gold.  Champion Paintbred at Youngstocks was by Days of Gold.  Best Dilute Foal at Youngstocks by Nights.  1st and 2nd ANSA at Youngstocks by Days. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th in the Buckskin Futurity 2 yrs and under at Youngstocks by Days and Nights.  1st and Placings in the big All Breeds Foal Futurity by the boys.  Champion Junior ANSA exhibit at Rosewood All Breeds by Days and various other winners and place getters by both boys.  Wins and champions at other shows around S.E.Qld.  A buckskin yearling colt by Days out of an Arabian mare went Top 3 at The Arabian East Coast Championships.  Dun Smokin, a buckskin by Days of Gold out of a Thoroughbred mare and owned by Kym Neate, was Supreme ANSA Junior Exhibit at the 2008 Toowoomba Royal Show and Best Buckskin Exhibit at the 2008 Brisbane Royal (the Ekka).  There are many other outstanding wins by their offspring.

We're trying to keep prices down so that we can get these foals into show homes where they will continue to campaign the names of Days of Gold and Nights of Gold. When you take into account the cost of getting a foal to weaning: the feed, worming, vet bills etc. during pregancy and foalhood, the cost of registrations, etc. you'll understand that the prices are extremely reasonable.

GOOD NIGHT  06 Buckskin gelding.. By Nights of Gold, out of a foundation registered AQHA mare (the dam, Harmony, is actually an Anglo Arabian that wasn't registered with the Arabian society). He will be registered A1 with AQHA, Buckskin and NWP with UPWBDA. Now, this one really is a Goody! Lovely pale golden coat with black mane and tail, two white socks at the back and a tiny drizzle of white down his face. If you want to halter first then show, rein or pleasure ride on a horse with knock 'em dead looks that can out perform the others, Goody will be the boy for you. If you want to stay in the show ring under saddle, then Goody will have the Royal quality looks to put you in the winner's circle there. $3,000.  Available now

Endless Days   irridescent brown buckskin gelding born January 07 by Days of Gold out of Muscari (16.3 hand chestnut mare Thoroughbred by Pride of Kellina - Muscari is the dam of the World Cup Showjumper 'Valotta').  This gelding is going to be a HUGE horse, well over 16 hands - these are recent photos of him at 13 months of age.  He is a really delightful horse in every way.  If you've ever thought of having a QH X T'bred as mount for olympic disciplines, this is the one (in the U.S. there are many QH X T'breds at top level international competition).  Great movement, lovely temperament - really sweet nature.  He will be registered A1 with AQHA and is Buckskin and Ancillary registered with UWPBDA.    $5,500  A great opportunity to purchase a horse with superior jumping lines.

PARISIAN DAY . This filly, called Bunny at home, is by Days of Gold out of an unraced Thoroughbred mare who is by Agincourt (U.S.)  Bunny is a delightful dark buckskin filly who should mature up to 16 hands.  She is registered, Buckskin and NWP with Dilutes Australia.  She has lovely movement, a gentle nature and should be a great sporting type - eg polocrosse or barrel racing - or pleasure horse.  She'll be fine for ag show halter and saddle classes, but I don't feel she is a national level prospect like most of the others, so her price reflects this.  Should mature close to 16 hands.  $2500

(Above - photos taken April 20, 2008) Grey 6 yo mare in foal to Nights of Gold, due September 2008.  'Mika' is 14.1 - 14.2hh, registered FM AQHA (so foal can be A1 registered with AQHA), ANSA, and Part Arabian.  The foal will be born palomino or buckskin but has a 50% chance of going grey.   The mare comes from many generations of station horses that worked stock on our outback properties so the foal should be tough, smart, pretty, good on its feet and correct enough to halter then go on to be an exceptional riding horse.  Mika's sire is Matta Mia Dedimus, an Anglo Arabian stallion that had a number of his offspring exported.  Mika is a lovely mare to handle and a no fuss breeder.  Have yourself a Nights of Gold foal this year. Can foal down here and be moved with her foal after foaling.  $3,500

(Photo above, taken April 20, 2008) "Spring Days" (AQHA reg. A1-8607)  Buckskin-gone-grey 3 yo filly out of above mare - bad scarring on her near hind after being caught in a fence as a yearling.  She should be fine for light work under saddle and is very quiet.  Not started under saddle yet.    Lovely to handle, great movement, registered A1 with AQHA, ANSA and Ancillary with Dilutes Australia  She'll put some really refined, pretty looks into your QH breeding and pass on the lovely, big, correct movement that sets her apart.  Her dam's family has been in our family for over 7 generations and includes A grade polocrossers, racewinners, exported endurance horses and great stock horses.  Although she is grey, she does carry the cream dilute gene so will throw buckskins and palominos as well as greys.  $1500.

 Days of Flight  sold Black buckskin gelding by Days of Gold.

He is a superb athletic looking boy and is just breathtaking to look at with incredible "Look at me!" presence.  Shown lightly for wins, places, champions.  Champion ANSA Junior Exhibit at Rosewood All Breeds.  Many wins and places at 2007 All Breeds Youngstocks.  The photo was taken at Youngstocks 07 in April - please note, the photo is by Mel of Crazy Horse Designs and I HAVE bought the photo, but until it arrives I'm just using the proof.  Regretful sale by his owner who is getting out of horses.  $6000 (contact me for her phone number)
