Blue Have Farms welcomes Final's Goldwell back to Tennessee. He has one of the best pedigrees and the head shake and movement of the old time walking horses.  Goldwell has impeccable manners and has passed on his incredible backend and over-stride to his offspring.

What can I say about this spectacular and most special stallion? I brought him to Blue Haven Farms 3 years ago (2004). As a two year old he was being groomed to become a World Grand Champion but severely injured his right hind leg and developed lymph edema of that leg. I do not have the entire history of events but know that his injury prevented him from fulfilling that championship.

I have never seen a more natural walking and head-shaking horse that Goldwell. He is small in stature, approximately 15 hands but magnificent in style and presence. When Blue Haven Farms was in Fayetteville, TN people would stop and watch him shake his beautiful head and do a natural running walk in his paddock.

 

Goldwell fell in love with a mare across the fence and she, with him, and so I decided to let them be together. They were quite the pair and very sweet and “IN LOVE”. Since that time Goldwell has always had at least one mare with him. He is incredibly sweet and I can go into the pasture and groom him without a halter, rope, or anything. To say he has an incredible disposition is an understatement.


This summer Goldwell’s Final Edition was born. A golden palomino colt out of an MG Gold, cremello mare. He is a gorgeous, head-shaking, long striding walking horse that would make an excellent flat-shod show prospect and/or future stallion.

Goldwell has sired over 70 foals, some of which are the show ring today. His book is closed to outside breeding and he will live out his life happily with a few of our chosen broodmares.

The book is closed on this fine old breeding stallion, but we will still have progeny of his for sale.

An examination of Final's Goldwell's Extended Pedigree reveals that the amount of genetic input from Midnight Sun is greater than that of a grandsire, and that the degree of Roan Allen F-38,  Pride Of Midnight HF, Sun's Delight D. and Wilson's Allen blood is equivalent to that of a grandsire.  The percentages of old walking bloodlines are as follows:
