Missouri Fox Trotter Stallions at TXMFT
Future is Gold Dun
2017 MFTHBA Dunalino Stallion
Homozygous Dun
Future is Gold Dun AKA "Goldun" is a lovely 2017 stallion who is as sweet as can be. He is a new addition to our program and we can't wait to see his first foal crop in the fall of 2020! Goldun is a Dunalino so he carries one copy of Cream but he is HOMOZYGOUS for Dun! This is one classy guy with a beautiful, easy foxtrot in the pasture. All of his gaits are ground-covering, very smooth and totally natural - barefoot. He is also tested homozygous for the “gait keeper” gene so will pass his Cadillac gaits along. He is 14.3HH at 3 years old and expected to finish out around 15-15.1HH.

Tucker is a 15.2 hand, registered MFTHBA and SSHBEA stallion. He is tested homozygous for the tobiano gene and black gene which means he will throw color every time and never a red foal. So any Missouri Foxtrotter he is bred to can be triple-registered MFTHBA, SSHBEA & Pinto (PtHA). Any gaited horse (if not a MFTHBA) can be double-registered as SSHBEA and Pinto (PtHA). And any horse, even un-registered, can be registered as a Pinto out of him as he will ALWAYS throw spots.
He is also tested positive for the "gait-keeper" gene - he is AA - which means he carries 2 copies of the gait gene - the strongest you can have to potentially throw gait.
From the Gaited Morgans Association website...How does the DNA Gene Test affect you as a potential buyer or breeder whether gaited or non gaited? The AA horse normally gaits from birth and only gets stronger in gait. The CA horse may only gait a short period, a few months. Then demonstrates gait under saddle. The DNA Gene test would be helpful in determining whether a horse is CA or CC for the horse who stops gaiting and then gaits again under saddle or the horse which never gaited and starts gaiting under saddle. The article written by Lee Zeigler Convert The Trot can be helpful in improving the gait of a gaited horse or train a trotting horse to gait. The test could be used by those who do not want any gait gene in their horse and use the test to verify the horse is CC.
Some Gaited Morgan breeders see the DNA SynchroGait Gene A test as a means to insure only strongly gaited foals are produced and also a guranatee to verify the horse being sold is naturally gaited. The bottom line if the dam and sire are both AA. Then only strongly gaited foals will result which seem to sell themselves.
SynchoGait Gene Test offered by UC Davis
The DNA test will ID the horse's gait genes as one of the following three. Homozygous A/A --- the horse will perform ambling and lateral gaits. Heterozygous A/C --- the horse will perform lateral gaits. Homozygous C/C -- the horse will perform the walk, trot and canter. This is explained in greater detail in the article SynchroGait-Summary
AA x AA = 100% of the offspring will be AA
CA x AA = 50% will be AA and 50% will be CA
CA x CA = 25% will be AA, 50% will be CA, 25% will be CC
CA x CC = 50% will be CC and 50% will be CA
AA x CC = 100% will be CA
CC x CC = 100% will be CC
All of his previous foals have been over 15 hands, many 16 hands and some 16.3 hands with a stick. If you want big, colorful, smooth-gaited and gentle, he's your man. He is trained under saddle and is the easiest horse we have ever trained. His foals are so lovely that we have sold yearlings for $6,500 and some trained trail horses for 30,000.

FRD Pure Luck's Sure Luck "Tucker" is a homozygous for tobiano and black MFTHBA & SSHBEA Stallion. He is also tested positive for the AA gait gene - which means he carries 2 copies of the gait gene - the strongest a horse can have to potentially throw gait. There is more information on his page about the gait gene and why you should have any stallion you are considering breeding to checked for this if you want a gaited foal. FRD Pure Luck Sure Luck 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 produced 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). Most of his foals are 14 hands at 1 year old. All of his foals have matured at over 15 hands, many 16 hands and some 16.3 hands with a stick. If you want big, colorful, smooth-gaited and gentle, he's your man! He is a lovely smooth-gaited trail horse with a fabulous, barefoot, natural foxtrot. His foals are so lovely that we have sold yearlings for $6,500 and some trained trail horses for 30,000. He is still producing wonderful, gentle, gorgeous foals and should be for many years to come. He pasture breeds, hand breeds easily and also AI's. He currently hangs out in his 20 acre pasture with mares and newborn foals and takes gentle care of all of them as well as people. We don’t worry about guests going into his pasture to say hello - as he is the gentlest stallion we have ever owned. We dearly love this amazing fellow and will carefully screen his new home as his happiness is paramount to us. “Tucker” is one of the greatest horses we have ever known.
