Cayuse Gold (aka Cisco)-Jessie James X Eliza Jane (Wyoming Kid), he is a silver dun/buckskin dun stallion, 14:2 hands (147+ cm) at 5 years old. SMR 3259/HOA1598
Cayuse Gold or Cisco in his first two seasons has exceeded our expectations and produced outstanding foals to a variety of mares both spanish mustang as well as an arabian, welsh and a quarter horse mare. He is passing on his lovely neck and shoulder, excellent movement, substantial bone and excellent feet, and most important his sensible, people oriented temperament and his trainability. We also are delighted to report that his first foal conceived by shipped cooled semen was foaled in August 2006 in Minnesota...a healthy filly and she is the first registered spanish mustang foal conceived this way.
Cisco is in training for dressage and has done only limited competitions due to time constraints. He has done very well at local shows. We hope to progress with Cisco through the levels of dressage and we hope to the FEI levels someday. He has the talent and the temperament for the job. We hope to do justice by him and help him realize his potential.
We spent the 2007 Summer season doing promotions and expos with Cisco instead of showing as we felt getting the word out on his breed was more important in the short term for our program as well as for his breed. He has performed at Kentucky Horse Park in the Parade of Breeds as well as Tuckahoe Outlaw Days in Maryland. We will finish off the season with the Equine Affaire in November. He also traveled from Virginia to Wyoming and back for the Spanish Mustang Registry’s 50th Anniversary celebration and will go to Indiana for the Horse of the America’s Registry Annual Meeting. He has been a gentleman consistently and a great ambassador for his breed. We hope to focus more on competitions next year but he has made us very proud this summer with how well he represented his breed at such large venues.
Cayuse Gold has been DNA tested to carry the cream gene. He is also dun factor. This makes him a 75% color producer on non gray mares. He can produce 50% cream dilutes (palominos, buckskins, smokey blacks), 50% dun dilutes (red dun, grulla, bay dun), 25% both dilute genes (dunskins/buckskin dun, dunalinos/palomino dun, smokey grulla), as well as a 25% chance of non dilute. On mares that are also cream dilutes, he can produce cremellos, perlinos, or smokey creams.
Stud fee for 2008 will be $450. Live foal guarantee. Limited live cover available or on farm insemination as well as shipped, cooled semen. Mare owners pay collection and shipping costs. Mare care is $8/day for dry mares, wet mares $12/day. First collection is $75 and subsequent collections are $50 if needed. We only charge to cover the costs of our equipment, time, and supplies. Shipping costs depend on whether you chose an Equitainer or a disposable container and where you are shipping to. We do ask for a refundable deposit of $200 for the use of our Equitainer. We strongly recommend a culture and cytology be done on all mares being bred by shipped semen to optimize your chances of success.
