Details:
This special homozygous colt is meant for somebody who appreciates a horse with foundation work, good training and intentional breeding for a versatile riding partner. Dakar will be 2y/o in March and will be SO easy to start under saddle whenever his owner is ready.
My limited breeding program aims specifically for level headed, willing, friendly and flashy horses with quality bloodlines. With only one foal bred each year we are able to prioritize gradual handling and training from birth. Dakar’s groundwork has already progressed beyond what many riding horses have. This has made our horses confident, willing, fun to work with plus easier and safer to train. Estimated to be 14.2-15hh.

Parents & Siblings:
Both Dakar’s parents are owned by Lisa McCoy at Signature Elements Ranch in Dade City, FL. I welcome people to come meet both sire and dam where it quickly becomes clear why this cross is so good. Two full siblings have found local homes with wonderful ladies who would be happy to share about their young horses and rave about this cross. View more information about Dakar's sire and dam below.
Registration:
Dakar’s Racking Horse papers have been submitted. He can also be registered with the SSHBEA (Spotted Saddle Horse Breeders Exhibitors Association) and NSSHA (National Spotted Saddle Horse Association).
Additional Information:
Currently no signs of “manly” behavior. Shares a paddock with my weanling filly and a fence line with my mare. Can be castrated before leaving the property. Up to date on coggins, vaccines and hoof care.

Dakar's First Bath - 1 year Old
Both parents (and sire’s dam) are on-site and available to visit.
Illustrated Edition (aka Rowan) was born and raised with Lisa. Aside from a couple (valuable) months early on, he is amateur trained & handled.
Rowan has an extensive show record (3x World Grand Champion, Multi World Champion, Multi FL State Champion, Model Champion, FWRHA High Point Winner, Team Penning Fastest Time & High Point Champion etc) but he has a lot going for him outside the show ring as well.
With a friendly, willing and often laid back personality, Rowan is frequently getting praises for his good behavior and talent. He loves being around other horses and is up for “trying” whatever is asked of him - even if it’s strange. In addition to many other wonderful qualities, Rowan’s presence, confirmation and color make him extra special. He brings people joy everywhere he goes. Rowan stands 15h tall.

Kosmos & Kryptonite (aka Katara) blows me away at every turn. A Hy-tone Beau mare, Katara started out as a phenomenal trail horse. But since her arrival in Florida, Katara has attended and excelled at fun shows, joined a fox hunt, obstacles, and team penning (including awards for fastest time and high point champion for Team Penning - while pregnant with Imber!).
Katara LOVES attention and is extremely willing to please. I haven’t found anything that phases her. Her first time riding after a few months off while pregnant I jumped on bareback with a rope around her neck (no “tack”) and she was perfect.
Imber seems to have gotten so many of these wonderful qualities from her mom - you couldn’t ask for much more!
Katara stands 14.2h tall.
