Nights of Gold (Q-57337) is a 2003, 15.1 hh, Cremello Quarter Horse stallion, by Imperial Gold Touch out of Cutters Silver Star (by Cutters Glo, a son of Crimson Glo [imp]). We believe he is the highest awarded Cremello stallion in the world. He has won many champions, supremes, futurities, state and national titles against all breeds and colours. His stunning “look at me!” presence, great movement and exceptional conformation make him difficult to beat in the show ring and he passes along these qualities to his offspring, who all have the distinctive ‘Nights of Gold look”. He is the sire of four exported fillies and many of his offspring have champions, supremes, futurities, state and national titles. Although siring stunning halter horses, he will be known as a sire of performance horses as his extremely correct conformation is passed on and his offspring are ‘made to ride’ – the oldest are proving to be very cowy and suitable for working or showing under saddle.

Many other champions and supremes.
His oldest are now 3yo and starting under saddle and are proving to be very cowy and workable.
(It is worth noting, that many of the progeny of Nights of Gold that are winning in the QH ring, in open company and in the dilute ring are out of ordinary working mares. Many stallions have similar & superior wins with progeny, but out of national champion mares – Nights of Gold can produce state and national champions from plain working mares.)
Nights of Gold, being Cremello, gives the guarantee of 100% Palomino foals from chestnut mares, and 100% Palomino or Buckskin from other solid coloured (non grey) mares. To breed a Cremello or Perlino by him, mares will need to be a dilute themselves (Palomino, Buckskin, Cremello or Perlino – for instance, Cremello to Cremello will only ever produce Cremello).
