Dillon's Madame is an elegant and very beautiful mare.  She is 5 years old,  black and white, about 15 hands and a daughter of Dillon's Outlaw who is by Marshall Dillon.  Her barn name is Lola.  She is registered TWHBEA and her papers say tobiano but her markings are different than our other tobianos.  Where most tobianos have very distinct black and white spots, Lola looks like  a water coloring painting, with the black and white melting into each other.  Her black spots have white roaning in them and she has one blue eye, a white blaze and a white forelock.  I think she is a sabino or has a sabino gene.  More importantly, she is a gift from God and without a doubt He wanted this mare to be here at Faithwalk Farm.

He cares about the smallest details of our lives.   He also has a  great sense of humor.

Within a few weeks of this website getting up and running, I received  an e-mail from a lady in Nebraska telling me about her mare and that the state was putting a highway and bridge thru her property.  She explained that she had fought for three years to stop it, but was not able to.  She was heartsick that she had to sell her much loved mare.  So instead of immediately selling her, she started researching 
and praying about finding the perfect home for Lola.  She could not bear the thought that someone might mistreat this lovely, gentle mare.  Her daughter came across an advertisement with Dillon's picture in it and showed it to her mom, saying that the stallion looked a lot like Lola.  They found our website and decided that  Faithwalk Farm was the perfect home  for Lola. She e-mailed me and I e-mailed back asking for a phone number so that we could talk personally. 

I really was not looking for another mare at this  time.  I had just sold Paint Me Ebony and was still getting over that shock. We talked and e-mailed, exchanged pictures, got vet checked, all the  stuff you do when a horse you are interested in is out of state. 

Dillon's Madame

The mare checked out and all looked to be in order.  We made arrangements to go pick her up.  Long story made short, I still had my doubts  until she got off the trailer.  She is beautiful and gentle.  Her  markings are so unusual, that she stands out in the field, drawing  attention to just how feminine and fine she is.  She is peaceful, calm and easy to be around, it is like she has lived here her whole  life.

The humorous part is her name, Dillon's Madame.  The person who named  her that name at the time of her registration, had no idea the significance it would come to play in her life.  Or that God would  use it, down the road, to let me know He has a hand in everything and  to never doubt His goodness.  Because we have a small operation, I  spend a lot of time with each horse and get to know their personality.  I have to say that our Dillon Paints the Town is quite  smitten with Dillon's Madame.  Just like people, horses are attracted  to certain other horses and definitely have likes and dislikes.  Lola  is in the stall next to his and she is in the pasture across the  driveway from him.  I'm not saying that horses experience emotional  love like people but I will say that Dillon has been very happy and  content that Lola is here.  My old stallion Top Gun had his favorite  mare, Coffee Berry and they produced the finest babies of any other  that he was paired with.

We are very happy that our mare, Dillon's Madame, is safe in foal to Dillon for a June, 2008 foal. This should be a fabulous filly or colt with 2 lines of the pedigree going to Marshall Dillon, which means 2 lines going to Wonder Liz, the dam of Marshall Dillon. Two beautiful parents with excellent conformation, personalities and gait should produce an outstanding foal! I cannot wait to see what God has designed for us.

5 yr. old, 15 hand  black and white daughter of Dillon's Outlaw, safe in foal for a June, 2008 baby by Dillon Paints The Town.  Beautiful mare, one of the prettiest heads you will see on a Walking Horse,  this would be a great addition to anyone's broodmare herd.  DNA already processed.

Dillon's Braveheart is a black tobiano Tennessee Walking Horse stud colt by Dillon Paints the Town, out of Dillon's Madame, who was born June 1st, and is our first foal of 2008.   We are calling him Bravo.  He is pretty special.
