Glitter and Gold as a coming three year old stallion. He has grown and developed a lot since these shots. This is a very well bred c**t, now being started under saddle. Check older posts for more info on "Glitter". Give me a call or text if interested in a fine young Colonial Spanish stallion. He is now spotting out with his dam's appaloosa traits and growing like a w**d. See earlier posts for more info. Will posting his pedigree in comments.

Glitter and Gold tried out the saddle. He took it quietly and seemed curious. What next, Cynthia?

This fine three year old stallion has a unique Karma Farms pedigree. Look at all the well-known and proven KF lines.

He is rapidly showing his dam's strong appaloosa color gene as he adds white spots on body and hips and mottled skin on his nose.

Cynthia just started Glitter and Gold this week. This fine young stallion took it all quietly, but seems curious. Glitter continues to add appaloosa characteristics and real white spots.

Congratulations to Rhythm of My Heart who quickly found the special home for which we were hoping. Thanks to all who inquired. He and his new boss just clicked, and they looked so well together. Thanks to all of you who texted and called. He ended up close enough that we can visit anytime. I love happy endings.

This video is a recent family group crossing Cooper Creek as we finish their trail ride. We had such a fun ride with the cool breezes now and then, promising fall.

I love the way the lady goes up quietly on Astral, balancing her little rider. Then comes the gentleman on Condor, trotting down and using correct climb position on his first ride for years. Glad they had fun!

Fall beckons! Come ride with us.

Rhythm of My Heart is for sale. This gorgeous little red dun is extremely well bred,. He is a son of Margarita, she by Broom out of Pie. He was sired by Locomotion, a fine gaited stallion by the great Choctaw Sun Dance and out of Easter Lily, a good mare by Trail Blazer out of Lily Hawk.

"Rhythm" is a 3/4:brother to Tommi's greatest champion Fernando, a kid horse deluxe who won everything she that she tried: shows, games and distance riding."Ferdie" remains one of the winningest horses ever bred by Karma Farms.

Rhythm, a beautiful little gelding, was bred to replace Ferdie for my daughter Tommi, but she never felt that he was the horse for her by the time Rhythm was old enough to break. She had bred a fine young mare out of her 2nd champion, a gorgeous dun mare named Meet Virginia that, like Ferdie, won in everything Tommi loved when Tommi was a teen. Virgie's filly was her choice for her next winner. That mare was well-broke when Tommi and our friend Charles Mayo decided to train her to pull a cart as well as work under saddle. Rhythm was left just enjoying the pasture. He was ridden now and then by my students that wanted to learn to train.

Today it dawned on me that we were wasting a very fine little horse. Rhythm is now 18 years old and well started under saddle. He was ridden by my students three summers in horse training clinics and excelled.

After years of doing nothing, last month we needed an extra horse and caught him for our neighbor Danielle Mauldin. He had not been ridden in years but was steady and solid for Dani. He did great even though he had not been ridden in years. I noticed that over time, his early desire to move out had changed to "Let's just walk, okay?"

Dani said he was smooth and willing, but had to be pushed to even trot. Suddenly I realized with just a bit more riding, this guy would be a great kid or lady's horse. He is sound, pretty and healthy. With just a bit more riding, I think he can be a good child's mount for years. We are only asking $850 as he is now older.

If you need one ready to do things at a great price, call to set up a visit to meet and try this beautiful little gelding. At that price, the buyer should pay for his Coggins, but we will guarantee it to be negative and haul him to our vet in Vivian, La. where he can also be microchipped if the buyer would like to have him protected at a very reasonable price (much less expensive than here in Texas) because Louisiana requires a chip when a horse is first Coggins tested.

We will get him up and shoot some video of Rhythm working on a long line, being ridden and loading in a trailer. I will be posting those here on the Karma Farms page on Facebook.
But I think at this price with this pedigree, you might just want to come and see for yourself when we get him up. Give us a call to set up a visit. (903) 407-0298. Evenings are best, but you may be able to catch me inside in the late morning too.
