Without
taking anything away from Pride of
Midnight's enormous influence on
the modern Tennessee Walking Horse, or the
impact made by The Pusher C.G. in the last 20 years,
it’s important to understand that A
Specialist is one of the few,
successful show horses and breeding
stallions of today with no Pride
and no Pusher
in his background. Being
sired by the late Dr. Elmer and out of a full-sister to
multi world champion Crimson Parader, his bloodlines are rich with
Ebony Masterpiece, Sun's Delight D., Mack
K's Handshaker and Midnight On Parade K. His pedigree makes him a
rare outcross by today’s standards and a
much needed option for modern breeders.
From
the standpoint of gait, he is also
different. His way of going is reminiscent
of the head-shaking, ground covering
horses of yesteryear, and the foundation
on which the breed was built. Year after
year, his consistency and durability made
him a champion in every sense of the word.
As
for his conformation, he is tall, rangy
and well-muscled, and he will add
substance, strength and hybrid vigor to
today’s refinement. Based on
Waterfall’s experience in the breeding
business, his conception rate is
considerably higher than the industry
average. And, his potency as a breeding
stallion is no doubt a result of his
bloodlines.
