One Of A Kind a.k.a. "Fella

MFTHBA Reg. #91-38291  DNA'd

"Fella" was bred and stood at Duane & Sally Scott's farm in Rogersville, Missouri - carrying on their Hawkeye's Black Sambo line through Sambo's Magic Marker and is now available to serious breeders on the West Coast.  According to Duane, Fella is a horse that never had to be tinkered with - he was bred to gait.   Fella's dam, Lad's Sweetheart was 26 when she foaled Fella and a real favorite of Duane's since he had known her sire, Walker's Merry Lad and owner since the early 50's.  Duane is of the opinion that Walker's Merry Lad is one the best out of only three early stallions he had service his mares.  Fella is "Brown Papered" meaning he had to be approved under saddle demonstrating the fox trot gait before he could be registered in the MFTHBA. 

 

It should be noted the equines that made "Fella" who he is today are the very same that helped established the Foxtrotter breed over 60 years ago.  These purebreds came from other long established breeds such as Morgans, Saddlebreds, Standardbreds and Tennessee Walkers.  Showcasing some of Fella's famous show relatives and a history of the Scott's 50 yr breeding program, making Fella who he is today - click here.

Not just a pretty face, "Fella" has the conformation many of us refer to as "form to function" and has been a working versatile horse while at the Scotts as the photos below will show. 

End of the Trail Ranch hopes to be able to ship "Fella's" cooled semen in 2011.  We will have him collected and the volume and viability of his semen analyzed prior to any shipments to mare owners; and will continue our policy that there will be no breeding fee if the recipient mare is inseminated by an experienced reproductive veterinarian fails to check in foal 21 days after insemination.
