Some interesting information about these amazing bloodlines from http://www.leopardappaloosa.com/ulrich-horses.html
___________________________________________________________________________________________
I just love the Ulrich horses. It's in the genes and the body structure of these horses to be docile, quiet, sensible trail horses. A very few still have the gifted Indian Shuffle 4-beat gait. But more important to me is to have a safe horse. These horses are not flighty but are well grounded and slow to react to upsets around them. They have a built in self-confidence such that you can take them out solo on a trail ride. They are unusually high in the pecking order. It is my goal to resurrect more of the Ulrich blood line again in my herd.
Don Ulrich bought leopard bred mares from the Timberline Ranch in Broadview, MT and the very last Navajos Candy colt, and he named him Ulrich Many Coups. Don's famous advertising jingles were "Appaloosa to Appaloosa, and the best to the best." However he realized to continue with the Leopard legacy he needed to expand and enlarge the leopard gene pool dynasty by bringing in other famous leopard lines. Don visited Robert Taylor from Wolf Point, MT and bought Rakush, Ben Buzz and a Jims Ben Lowe leopard mare. He also bought from Lee Warne's ranch in South Dakota, Sully's Butterfly which is the Sundance 500 line. These new leopard blood lines plus the Timberline leopard lines, the Morgan leopard, the Simcoe Sarcee, and of course the Navajo Candy line, and a few other not well known leopard lines which all made up his breeding program.
Mr. Ulrich had noticed a little shuffle gait in a few of his Leopard horses and wanted to develop this trait in his herd. He died before he ever figured out where the gait came from or how he could develop it in his horses. Pete Smith, Mr. Ulrich's trainer, told me he noticed this gait trait in Ulrich's Jungle Matt.From my research it was Morgan's Jungle Kitty that brought the gait trait into some of the horses in Ulrich's herd.
Interesting pedigree Morgan's Jungle Kitty was by Sikanni Chief by Ranger Snip a registered Morgan. Many Morgans were gaited in the past. Sikanni Chief's dam was Kamiac Princess out of Kamiak Trixie, a full sister to Toby I, which brings in the Toby gaited genes. Her bottom side was Morgan leopard. Also I contacted Carol Mulder who is an authority and historian on Arabians. She told me that Alyf, a registered Arabian, was a strong ambler, and this stallion is prominent in Morgan Jungle Kity's pedigree. She said Alyf could gait without effort and could stay in gait beside horses doing a full gallop. This stallion was personally ridden by Carol at the famous Kellog ranch in Pomona, California. So you can see this gaited trait could have come from any one of these three sources or a combination thereof.
I believe in form and function. Horses with broad faces, square muzzles, straight profiles, stocky body builds, lob ears, and almond shaped eyes, all translate to a calm, dependable temperament. The traits above all fit the Ulrich horses to a "T".
Trail riding is the number one past time of most horse owners, and is the trend in the equine market. Some of the pictures shown here are pushing and expanding what a Foundation Ulrich Appaloosa can do. To learn more about the Ulrich horses reference my article, "Why not an Ulrich Horse?"

Mystery's foals and genetic information -
King James' Deacon
2000 MFTHBA Dark Palomino Stallion
Former stallion
"Deacon" is a stunning example of the old foundation lines that created this sought-after breed. His bloodlines are a who's who of legendary Missouri Foxtrotters - including - Sun Dust E., King James, Lady Anne F., Missouri Traveler E., Merry Boy Sensation, Golden Governor, Zane Grey's Cody Bill etc...
Deacon is 15 hands and 21 years old. He has a super-smooth, natural, 4 beat gait, fabulous foxtrot and easy canter. He is 6 panel negative and has two copies of the gait gene. We restarted him under saddle after not being ridden in over a decade and he went straight to riding with no fuss. This is one great minded stallion that sires amazing foals!
We were lucky enough to find this amazing, naturally-gaited, stocky, handsome fellow from none other than Dale Esther's amazing granddaughter Ashley, who I consider our new, dear friend. We are beyond honored to help carry on their proud legacy of the best horses ever.

TXMFT's Genesis
2022 MFTHBA Palomino Stallion
Genesis is a stunning palomino Missouri Foxtrotter stud colt born and raised with us. His sire, King James' Deacon is our foundation bred dark palomino originally bred and raised by the great Dale Esther. Genesis has a great list of old, foundation bloodlines and has NO Southern Sunrise breeding which will make him a great outcross for all the SS line mares out there.
We plan to keep Genesis intact and evaluate his potential as a future stallion as he matures. He has a wonderful build, intelligent disposition, and lovely gaits! We can't wait to see how this colt turns out.

His 10 year old son Splash foxtrotting...
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.
