Cody rides Pearl on 6/17/10 in the mountains of Crested Butte, Colorado.

She shakes her head and walks, and she racks beautifully, with an easy, slow canter as a bonus.

Cody rides Pearl on the trails during our Cap Rock Canyon, Texas trip on 6/11/10.

Strange enough, although Pearl is a young mare, hardly anything seems to alarm her.  Here, Cody rides her past cattle who are jumping off into a water tank, and Pearl barely pays attention.

We'd like to thank Pole Canyon Ranch in Quitaque, Texas for this awesome layover and training opportunity for the young horses that we hauled on this trip, bound for Colorado.

Are you looking for a spectacular grey mare?

"Pearl" -- (She's a rare black pearl!)  4-yr-old direct daughter of the beautiful "Lined With Cash" (Coin's Hard Cash/Prides Generator) out of a Sun's Delight D/Ebony Masterpiece mare . . . she is slow greying, so when she dapples out, her dapples will last for many years.  This mare has an absolutely beautiful conformation, gorgeous color and she's not done yet!  She has a cute, people-oriented, lively personality and is a ton of fun under saddle.  She will shake her head and walk, and she'll do an animated, beautiful rack as well.  Nice canter (which is slowly being 'polished' and we're not through yet), she is doing all this on keg shoes, and would be great barefoot as well, with her hard-as-flint black hooves.  **UPDATE**  We just got back from Somerville, TX (July 4th, 2010 weekend) riding at Nail's Creek, renowned for being rocky trails, and we rode her barefoot.  She did the whole 13 miles smooth as silk with no tenderness or any problems at all.

You can see her head starting to turn grey, and if you want to see what she will eventually look somewhat like, check out my mare (which is already sold and in her new home in Arizona at http://www.cloud9walkers.com/SilverMintinfo.htm ).  Pearl is a beautiful representative of the breed with the best bloodlines, no mareish issues and would make a great lifetime trail partner, as well as having the capability to produce quality foals.  The color is only secondary.  Check back for pictures as she goes through trail training with us.  $4500

She has a naturally high-stepping front end in her racking gait, and she's only wearing KEG shoes.

Becky rides Pearl on 4/27/10 at her head-shaking, walking gait.
