SOLD!

ZGC Black Diamond is a beautifully gaited, curious, confident Curly Fox Trotter filly. She is easy to catch, (she catches you) and very smart.  Her grand-dam is Lobo’s Blue Annie from Alma DeMille’s herd. We owned her and riding her is like flying on the wind. Diamond’s dam, Gem, is very much like her dam. Both mares have hearts of gold and charge up mountains. They have a “let’s do this thing!” attitude. We adore them for that and so many other things. Diamond will be an excellent trail riding mare when grown and trained and is a good choice for all types of disciplines. She will produce curly foals for you 50% of the time as the carries one curly gene. Her color genetics are exactly the same as her dam, Gem. Diamond should mature to 15 hands as both sire and dam are that height. She should gait smothly up to 8 mph just like her momma.

We believe that all horses should be as prepared as possible for their age when they go to their new home. For the foals, we lay them down and desensitize them at birth, teach all our foals to lead, back, pick up feet, load into and back out of a trailer, be gently flogged with a rope and whip Clinton Anderson style, be accepting of wormer (by putting fingers and the wormer stick in their mouth without the actual med) etc. They all get used to saddle pads and bareback pads, go on many walks with mom around our farm with tons of scary farm equipment and general farm trash, get ponied down roads, through ditches on concrete under building roofs etc. to desensitize them and prepare them for the real world. We find that they do much better if they have a solid base of being worked with before they leave for their new home.

Thanks Tracy! We look forward to seeing great things from Diamond!
