DAYS OF GOLD


Days of Gold (Q-57273) is a 2002 Perlino purebred Quarter Horse by the Palomino Quarter Horse, Imperial Gold Touch (by Gest A Touch) out of the Quarter Horse mare, Pinelodge Marianne (by Atoe).  His bloodlines include: Docs Hillbilly (imp), Crimson Glo (imp), Mr Leotoe (imp), Navajo Dogger (imp), Hill King Pistol (imp), Vaquero (imp) and other influential Quarter Horses.  He is registered AQHA, ANSA and Dilutes Australia; he can be bred to PHAA mares for foals eligible for PHAA registration; he can be bred to purebred Arabian mares for Quarab registration with AHSA.

Days of Gold stands just under 16 hands and sires tall performance horses that are winning in hacking, dressage, HUS, WP and the oldest are showing great jumping potential;  they are very correct and pretty enough to be successful at halter from weanlings to the oldest.  Two of the most outstanding qualities of his offspring are great legs and  wonderful ‘people loving’ temperaments – each year, many of the mares at stud are owned by people who already have a Days of Gold foal and want another one – his foals keep them coming back for more.

A Few of the Wins by Days of Gold
Days of Gold is believed to be the highest awarded Cremello or Perlino stallion in the world, some of his wins include:

  •  three National Champion Quarter Horse titles (Q7 – A/O halter, A/O hacking;  & Q9 – open dressage) and two National Reserve Champion Quarter Horse titles (Q7);
  •  more than twenty other national titles/champions both led and ridden from 2004-2009;
  •  four Qld Quarter Horse State Champions;
  •  dozens of other state titles/champions, led and ridden;
  •  scores of Supremes from Colourama, Carnival of Colours, Toowoomba Royal, Qld Dilute Championships, Agricultural Shows, etc.
  •  Supreme Ridden Exhibit of the Show at Colourama 2008 & 2009;
  •  Supreme of Supremes (Led) at the Qld Dilute Championships in 2004;
  •  Supreme of Supremes (Ridden) at the Qld Dilute Championships 2006;
  • hundreds of champions from Ag shows to National shows;
  • three Royal Supremes at Toowoomba Royal, 2009 (several others previous years)

He will sire 100% dilutes (Palominos, Buckskins, Black Buckskins, Cremellos, Perlinos) from non-grey mares (chestnut mares will have 50% chance of Palomino, 50% chance of Buckskin; bay mares can have Palomino foals if they have a recessive chestnut gene but they are most likely to have Buckskin).  His buckskins range from pale gold and gold to burnt buckskin and black buckskin. In order to sire Cremellos or Perlinos, the mare will need to be a cream dilute herself (Palomino, Buckskin, Cremello, Perlino).  All foals out of grey mares will be born dilutes, but at least half will go grey.

Days of Gold is believed to be the highest awarded double cream dilute stallion in the world.  He was also the first cremello or perlino to win an AQHA National Champion.  Some of his wins include:
