2.5yo Mare : Ivy - $25,000
**Novice safe trail mare**
Sure Luck's Spotted Ivy is a beautiful black and white tobiano filly born in the summer of 2016. She is registered MFTHBA. Both of Ivy's parents are 15.2HH and stocky so this girl will be nice and big when she is done maturing! She is already 14.3HH at 2.5 years old. Ivy is halter broke, ties quietly, is good for the farrier, ponies off of an ATV, and can be easily caught on 300+ acres. Her dam is a novice safe trail horse and Ivy is turning out just like her! Ivy bonds very strongly with her "person". Once she bonds with you she will let you do anything with her. She has a very willing personality - she is never disrespectful and never shows any attitude.
Ivy is broke to ride and does great out on the trails! She is not spooky even around our exotic hoofstock including deer, antelope, zebras, and wildebeest plus cattle, goats, and dogs. She is the same ride every time, no warm up needed! Just hop on and go! Her favorite speed on the trail is a nice, calm walk. She is definitely more on the lazy side. She does also have a lovely, smooth flat walk and running walk. Ivy neck reins, moves off of leg pressure and will open and close gates. She is also trained to sidepass over to the mounting block or other objects to make mounting easier.
Ivy is also a valuable addition to any breeding program. Ivy is homozygous for BOTH tobiano and black! That means that if she were bred in the future she would produce 100% tobiano foals and would never produce a chestnut based foal no matter what stallion she is bred to. She has not been tested but is also highly likely homozygous for the gait-keeper gene.

This is the full length version of one of my favorite videos Francine Dismukes, a gifted trainer, made for Cory and I when she trained him to lie down to help me get on.

He produces very large foals and they are always spotted as he is tested homozygous for the tobiano gene and the black gene as well, so he will not throw a red gene even out of a chestnut mare. He has thrown two 16.3 hand horses out of 15 hand mares - ANY get, whether the mare is registered or un-registered, that Tucker sires, will be register-able as a Pinto (if not gaited) and both a Pinto and SSHBEA (if gaited).

One of my favorite videos of Leo and Pride -
It is our mission to breed the perfect horse...
one that a child or amateur rider can win on at show jumping or any versatility event, take on a nice slow trail ride, compete at endurance when you want to go fast - and at the end of the day - give your child a lesson on him. In order to accomplish this - we breed only the best to the best. We have a fanstastic stallion with color, a kind disposition, and great conformation - that we breed to Top 10 in the World or better champion mares - to create the best of the best. You won't find any broodmares here. Dr. Alexandra Cooper says of Leo, Pride, Princess, JAKS & Ms. T - "These are the perfect horses for children to jump - they are effortless to ride, they stop and turn on a dime and they take care of their rider. They are not so huge as to be intimidating, they are willing, kind and a pleasure to jump - and we win consistently at the USEF and Open Jumping shows. I firmly believe that these Foxtrotters, Spotted Saddle Horses and Pintos will be the future of the jumping horse. For us moms that want their child to have a safe jumping horse that can grow with you even up to open jumping – these are the horses for you. The best part being that you can ride them too – they are safe for any rider - that is their greatest gift – their kind temperament and desire to take care of you. "
Happy to show, own, train and ride eight horses that collectively hold 24 World Championships, 37 Reserve World Championships & 190 Top 10's in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014 in 3 breed associations - SSHBEA, MFTHBA and Pinto PtHA - one of our former stallions "Leo" was featured on the news as he has won a World Championship in all three of his breed associations. He is the first horse in history to accomplish this. President's Sundust Princess is the 2nd and she is for sale.

Information about this amazing foxtrotter breed - The Missouri Fox Trotting Trail Horse is known best for the comfortable ride it produces.
Loved as a trail horse, the majority of registered Missouri Fox Trotters are owned by people who use them for trail riding, competition, endurance, and pleasure riding.
The Missouri Fox Trotter Trail horse also makes a wonderful show horse, the Missouri Fox Trotting and presents itself with elegant beauty and style in the show ring. Many professional outfitters and forest rangers choose the Missouri Fox Trotter Trail Horse for its endurance and surefooted behavior in rugged terrain. The Missouri Fox Trotter Trail Horse is equally at home doing ranch work because of its versatility and intelligence. Movie producers appreciate The Missouri Fox Trotter Trail Horse because of its gentle nature. The breed has quickly earned its reputation as a horse for all occasions.
The Missouri Fox Trotting Trail Horse has three natural gaits: an easy-going flat foot walk, the smooth and comfortable fox trot characteristic of its name, and a relaxed and free-flowing canter. No special shoeing or training is required for these horses to perform their gaits, and their good dispositions and willing attitudes are among their many desirable characteristics, making them one of the most versatile and loved of horse breeds within the equine registries.
Developed from horses in the Missouri Ozarks, the breed is characterized by a gentle demeanor and its signature gait, the fluid, diagonal 4-beat fox trot. Bloodlines can be traced from the horses of early settlers coming to the Ozarks from neighboring states of Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee and Arkansas. Their horses were depended upon f in this mountainous region and their ability to do whatever was needed around the homestead ranging from plowing to and working livestock, while at the same time being able to double as a stylish buggy horse or riding horse for the family. Whatever the need, this using horse proved capable and adaptable, later becoming known as the Missouri Fox Trotter Horse.
By 1948 a breed association was formed for this talented horse for the purpose of maintaining an accurate stud book for the breed. In 1958 the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association located in Ava, Missouri was reorganized and reincorporated as a stock company. In 1973 the corporation was changed from a stock company to a membership organization. The Association had kept its registry open for qualifying stock until 1983. After that time, horses approved for registration had to have both parents permanently registered in the MFTHBA, effectively becoming a “closed book” registry.
Surefooted in mountainous terrain, gentle in temperament, and smooth of gait for the comfort of both horse and rider, the Missouri Fox Trotting Trail Horse Breed’s
