I was fortunate enough to purchase a direct Generator daughter out of a direct Gold Coin mare in July, 2006. Gen's Gold Flame is a 16 hand chestnut mare, with a star.  She is eleven years old. I bought her because I am so excited to get the Generator/Gold Coin bloodline to cross with the Marshall Dillon bloodline.

I had a Gold Coin gelding that I rode for years as a trail horse. We bought him after he was retired from a career as a padded show horse. I loved proving everyone wrong that told me he would never make a trail horse when we brought him home and put keg shoes on him....he was one of the smoothest and fastest horses I have ever been on. I love a horse with Gold Coin blood.

She is safe in foal to Dillon Paints the Town  for a 2008 foal. This is a foal that I am anxiously anticipating. Gen's Gold Flame is a director daughter of the great Pride's Generator out of a direct daughter of the great Pride's Gold Coin. To have a mare of this quality and pedigree to breed to our direct Marshall Dillon son is a dream come true for me. Of course, there is a 50/50 chance the foal will be solid and not spotted but with this breeding, he or she should be so good that color won't matter. BUT if we do get color, that will be the icing on the cake. Hopefully, we will get a colorful foal that can walk a hole in the wind....that's a little Texas talk for ya'.

She had just been bathed,
that's why she's a little streaky.

She is a dark liver chestnut. 
She is still wet from her bath.

Where do I begin to explain how thrilled I am that this mare is in foal.  It was a little more difficult to get her in foal due to a uterine condition, endometritis, which simply means an infection and inflammation of the uterus.  Apparently, it had gone untreated for a while before we bought her last year and took some expert 
veterinarian care to get cleared up.  Thank God for giving us such wonderful vets at Performance Equine in Whitesboro, TX with such expertise in this area.

On a personal note, if you have read much of this website, you know that I am a believer, with a strong faith in God.  The very week that this mare was bred and became pregnant was the same week that one of my favorite horses had to be put down.  I had sold Top Gun's Red Baron, a gelding I raised, about a year ago.  He unfortunately foundered and was humanely put down by his owner rather than let him suffer.  I spoke with the veterinarian who told me that it was such a severe case of founder that it had to be done.  I wrote on his page that this was the best colt I ever raised and at this point he was. But in my grief, God spoke to my heart and told me that to everything there is a season, a time to be born and a time to die and just as He had given me Topper (Red Baron) He would give me another.

I cannot begin to understand or explain the ways of God, but when I can't see His hand, I trust His heart.

12 yr old direct daughter of Pride's Generator, out  of a direct daughter of Pride's Gold Coin. 16 hands.  If this mare were British, she would be a royal, her pedigree is that good. She is also one of the youngest direct Generator daughters left.  DNA  already done  Safe in foal to Dillon Paints the Town for a June, 2008  foal. 

The hardest part of loving horses is when you have to let them go. Sweetie (Gen's Gold Flame) and her 2008 filly, Cayenne, are for sale to a good home only. We have more horses than we can handle right now and need to down-size. Sweetie is her barn name and it fits her. She is a gentle, kind mare and an excellent mother. Her filly is show quality with a pedigree to match. Sweetie is 16 hands and I am guessing Cayenne will be at least 16 hands when grown. Sweetie was trained to ride as a young horse but has not been ridden in several years.
