Hope has a phenominal way of going. When we first met Hope, she had only been ridden a handful of times. When Jarred climbed on her back bareback with a halter, she stepped right off at a running walk. Hope naturally drops her backend and strides deep underneath herself. She plants her feet rather than "skates", giving a truer walk than is commonly seen. She has a kind, sweet disposition and loves attention. "Hope" is a direct daughter of Lined with Cash, who was out of the great mare, Gen's Silver Lining (Pride's Generator x Sun's Eldorado daughter.) Lined with Cash was directly by Pride's Gold Coin and out of the top producing mare Delight's Joanna (by Sun's Delight D.) Pride's Gold Coin was by Pride of Midnight H.F., a direct son of Midnight Sun out of the stylish and talented Pride of Stanley. Hope's dam, Sweepstake's High Hopes was directly by Sweepstakes.She has produced absolutely wonderful foals for us. Her first two colts (both buckskins by Gambler's Midas Touch WF) were dark gold, brilliant, and 100% naturally gaited. Her third foal, Snip's High Hope WF, (a homozygous black filly by Remembrance's Merry Snip) is equally brilliant and naturally gaited with a bold, fearless disposition. We have retained her for our breeding program. Hope was bred back to Remembrance's Merry Snip and foaled a stunning black colt, Snip's Midnight Legacy WF, on 5-26-2020. She then produced four fantastic buckskin colts by Darrah's Handsome Traveler.

When we bred Fame’s Pushy Lady (BJ) to Remembrance's Merry Snip, we were praying for a black filly to keep in BJ's place. Her dam, Fame’s Pushy Lady is affectionately known as “BJ” around the farm. We first met BJ in 1999 while visiting another horse in training at Joe London Training Stables.  She was a supremely talented mare whose short but brilliant show career was cut short due to a leg injury involving a fence that left her with a severed tendon. The injury forced her show career to a halt and left her unable to be ridden. Even with her injury, when Joe allowed me to ride BJ for a few passes around the riding ring she absolutely blew me away. She is one of the best natural walking horses I’ve ever ridden, injury and all. I can only imagine what she might’ve done in the show ring if the injury hadn’t sidelined her. When BJ moves, you feel like you are walking with purpose. Her powerful natural rhythm echoes through your body, but in a good way. It’s like feeling the rhythm of music. Joe chose BJ as a youngster. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he felt she was destined for greatness. She came out of the womb walking and shaking on a level that usually takes years to reach. Everyone who knew BJ will tell you that she is one of the most natural, talented horses out there. When she was first put under saddle, she just went right into walking and shaking. Everything with BJ was just…easy! She was easy to work with and just so naturally talented. She loved trail riding and showing and walked a show level gait no matter if it was a dirt road or a mountain path. Although she is a high caliber show mare we expect her foals to do well in any venue --- just like BJ! Naomi's sire, Remembrance's Merry Snip, was one of the last closest living links to both Midnight Sun and Merry Boy, with other great horses (Wilson's Allen, Roan Allen, the great mare Merry Legs, Go Boy's Nite Storm, Ebony Masterpiece, Society Man and an incridibly strong dam line through the Ray Corum breeding program, including Midnight Peggie P, Stormy's Ebony Doll and Ebony' Co-Ed.)

She was started under saddle as a three year old, but has not had much riding time.

This handsome colt can flat out MOVE. He would be an excellent flatshod show prospect, a tremendous trail horse or a flashy field trial mount! He's got a stellar disposition and a head full of sense. He is a full brother to Tennessee Georgia Line WF. The colt's dam, Her Favorite Line, is a 16h direct daughter of Lined with Cash, who was out of the great mare, Gen's Silver Lining (Pride's Generator x Sun's Eldorado daughter.) Her Favorite Line is a dead ringer for her talented grandmother in looks and movement! Gen's Silver Lining was a 10-time World Champion and World Grand Champion. In her prime she was considered one of the best mares to ever grace the show ring. She sat down on her back end, waved those front legs and shook that head every step of the way. Her Favorite Line moves the same way and has passed it to every one of her foals. Her sire, Lined with Cash was directly by Pride's Gold Coin who was out of the top producing mare Delight's Joanna (by Sun's Delight D.) Pride's Gold Coin was by Pride of Midnight H.F., a direct son of Midnight Sun out of the stylish and talented Pride of Stanley. Her Favorite Line's dam is a Pride's Favorite daughter. READ MORE
