Tru High Style APHA # 617,033 and PHA # 13120-2001 Palomino Overo Stallion Sire: Truly A Chief by Positively Grand by Tarzan Terrific x Leo Ramona Top and Black Gypsy Lady by Also Sixx Pax To Go x Reed Flight.Dam: Stan's High Yellow(AQHA) by Grandstan by Wiley Williams x Celeste Levis.As well as being APHA registered Spike is also registered with the Palomino Horse Association,which is the original palomino association that has been around since 1936 and has famous palomino horses such as Mr.Ed,Trigger and Trigger Jr. just to name a few.Spike isn't specifically bred for one discipline per say,his foals are excelling at many different ones such as team penning,gymkhana,eventing,jumping,4-H,showing,lesson horses,breeding and even driving.We have a couple of them pictured on our home page,but most of them our on our HF photo album/ Foals page.Spike is a wonderful stallion who is very easy to deal with on the ground and at breeding season.I know other people who have Truly A Chief offspring and they say the same thing about them.It makes no difference gender wise they have they have great minds and disposistions and willingness to learn.This handsome blue eyed guy has produced almost every horse color there is starting from the obvious palomino,buckskin,bay,smokey black,black,sorrel,grullo,red dun and dun foals.We are happy with what he is producing and enjoy feeback and updates including pictures.Most of Spikes foals are APHA registered,there are a few that pinto registered and a couple that are not registered at all.To check out more horses in Spike's pedigree check out our reference horse page.*Please note we do not stand Spike to the public for breeding.
Spike looking like a newly minted loonie!! I have had several palominos and really like the dark color versus the light color.
A head shot of Spike's pretty head and baby blue eyes.Most of his foals get his head and great dispostion,as for the blue eyes that's a roll of the dice.
Here is a really nice ad my friend did for us advertising our farm and Spike.Designs by Karen Bittner she does awesome work!!!
