EXTREMELY RARE opportunity!!!

Registered 6 year old Half Arabian BUCKSKIN mare by THE LEGENDARY FAME VF out of a qtr horse mare. RCM Good As Gold aka “Goldie”

Been in training with Bill Melendez and Karleigh Farmer for only 4 months. Goldie is great on the trails, has huge potential for the ranch riding division and of course… would be an EXCELLENT broodmare! Passing on her color AND her father, Fame VF pedigree!!!! There is not another Fame VF daughter this young anywhere! Not to mention… she is HUGE!!!!!!!

Kristal and Khing of Diamonds were awarded a Top Five in a very deep class…. Many multi national champions! Lisa and her new gorgeous horse had a great go as well… this is their first show together… it won’t take long before that duo is in the roses!!!!

Later in the afternoon we enjoyed a wine and cheese gathering at the barn. It’s also a great time with laughter and friendship!!!
