And The Beat Goes On

Bud was a once and a lifetime horse.  He will always be missed.

Bred by Jim and Tracy Hangley, and trained during his show career by Bob Hughes and Rock Walker, Bud was a once in a lifetime Morgan.  In 1998 we watched him win his first class, the Three Year Old Park Harness, at the Morgan Medallion.  Bud exploded into the show world that day, and went on to win the World Champion Futurity Park Harness Three Year Old and the World Champion Park Harness Three Year Old. In 1999 he won the Amateur Park Harness as a four year old.  He went on to win nearly every park harness class he showed in.

To us, he was always the gangly, beautiful, superbly athletic goofball who would relax his way through warmups, then dazzle under the lights in the ring with an audience watching him.  He loved the crowd in the show ring, and in retirement he loved people watching him trot and flag his tail through his paddock.  A true Morgan show horse in every sense. Bud lives on through his progeny.

Beethoven

Beethoven’s progeny have amassed many World Championships. He has been a proven producer of world champions in nearly every division in Oklahoma from multi-world champion Dragonsmeade CarnegieHall, RJMF Symphonic Music, Dragonsmeade Virtuoso, and Dragonsmeade Bravura in the English Pleasure, Pleasure Driving and In-Hand divisions, to Dragonsmeade Crescendo in the Hunter division. Beethoven’s daughters, such as Dragonsmeade Aria, have proven to be gems in the breeding shed when crossed to a variety of stallions.  He is terribly missed, but his blood lives on through his offspring in our fields.

Bocelli

This magnificent stallion is by Beethoven and out of the dam of Simply Maserati. Bocelli has left a very important mark on the Morgan breed and have bred our best mares to him, and in return, we have his daughters now having beautiful foals. His daughters immediately became some of our best brood mares on our farm.  He is enjoying retired stud life at our farm.

Dragonsmeade Axios

Along with his half brother, Icon,  Axios may be one of the best stallions we’ve bred. By multi World Champion And The Beat Goes On and out of multi World Champion HVK Obisidian, Axios is a dream cross. While in training with Tim Roesink he went on to win world championships and regional championshops in park harness, park saddle, and in the pleasure division during his show career.  We have bred him to most of our top foundation brood mares.  This big stallion is extremely upheaded and has a dynamic park trot reminiscent of his sire And The Beat Goes On and his maternal grandsire HVK Bell Flaire.  2010 marked the year for his first foal crop, and his offspring are exotic and very upheaded.  Not only was he a dynamic show horse, Axios is a proven to be an amazing sire.

Dragonsmeade Griffin

We liked our filly by JW Standing Tall so much we decided to cross Dragonsmeade Icon’s oldest full sister to him for the 2020 foaling season.  The resulting foal is Griffin!  We are hopeful he will be able to remain a stallion so we can infuse his bloodlines back into several of our mare’s pedigress.  Regardless, his future at our farm is exciting!

Dragonsmeade Skyfall

Skyfall is our first Spectre foal born at the farm!  We are thrilled with this exotic colt out of Dragonsmeade Sea Dragon’s oldest full sister, our beautiful Dragonsmeade Sweet Emotion.  He is doing well in training with Tim, and we are sure he has a successful show career in the near future!  Skyfall won his first WC in his debut class at 2022 Grand Nationals!  We are so excited for Hunter and Spencer Pilot!

Dragonsmeade Spectre

Spectre, or better known in our family as Cat, is one of the best colts we’ve bred! He has springy motion off both ends, and he has the look of his multi-world champion sire, Dragonsmeade Icon. Given his young age he has already won four world championships!  Since his sire was such a dynamic and potent stallion we were eager to have Cat mature enough so we could start breeding him.  We now have six foals by Cat!  It is clear after his first two breeding seasons he has proven to be a dynamic sire.  There are several outside foals by him on the ground too.  We thank those breeders for believing in him and his pedigree!  Ling will be showing Cat for the 2023 show season!

Liquid Assets

We jumped at the chance to have Titan join our breeding stallion program in 2023!  After seeing his full sister produce her handsome colt by Axios we knew he’d cross well with our mares.  Lynn Peeples bred this extraordinary 5 time world champion, and we are excited to see his foals in 2024!
