Tambourine Man (AIHR O-, SSMA #990, HOA 1144) is a 15 year old stallion foaled 4/24/89 by Choctaw Sun Dance out of the SSMA foundation mare Kiowa Morning Song. "Tam" was added to our stallion roster in the summer of 2001 from the Blazing Saddles Ranch dispersal sale, returning to the ranch where he was bred.
Tam is a high percent Choctaw with 25% Huasteca from his famous sire . He is a full brother to Wildstar Ranch's well-known gaited sabino appy stallion No Myth and Rockin' B's great gaited chestnut tobiano mare White-winged Dove. He is large for a Colonial Spanish horse, near 15 hands. He is a laterally gaited amber champagne overo and will add color, gait and size plus his sire's reknown temperament when bred to your good mare. He has one amber eye and one parti-colored eye and a proud, quiet presence which he
Tam was trained to ride at Blazing Saddles and won his first Green Pleasure Class at a Tejas Indian Horse Show. Then his right foreleg was injured in a castastrophic accident, and he spent the next few years recovering. While at Blazing Saddles, he sired a number of nice horses, but his production record did not come to us with the stallion when we bought him back. If you own a Tambourine Man foal, we'd love to hear about it! He has sired both paints and champagnes. Our great old HOA bred mare Dainty Bess (Broom/Pie) will foal to his services in 2004.
Unbelievably, Tam is now sound for light work (even though a close inspection will reveal how badly his leg and knee were injured), so we hope to get him out a bit in 2004 so Colonial Spanish Horse lovers can get a chance to see this exceptional stallion. Tam will stand just down the road from us at Gretchen Patterson's T-P Ranch. Live foal guarantee. Mare care available. (903) 938-2908. Stallion fee for 2004: $350.
