Macallan is my
personal McCurdy. Purchased from Cindy Martin in 2006, he was my first
introduction to McCurdy Plantation Walking Horses. His dam was a
McCurdy and sire a TWH. With such an unusual name, I asked Cindy where
his
name came from. She said he was named after a fine Scotch and he has
lived up to his name! Full of mischief, incredibly handsome with a
stubborn streak, a carrot-lover and a great trail horse! Along with
Vegas - my TWH, Macallan is my main trail horse and will
hopefully carry me into my old age. |

For
Sale: Miss Tilly McCurdy
Nine years old
Registered Foundation McCurdy (F-207)
Pictures from the 2008 May SC McCurdy trail ride. Tilly at the trailer
before the ride and my husband Mike with Tilly at our lunch break.
Great trail horse that can go the distance, quick paced for an
intermediate rider. Trained for carriage, but we have not done
anything in that area. Very calm and easy-going personality. She is
very bonded with Domino and we will
only sell Tilly to a family who will give her a perfect home.

For Sale
Nine years old
Registered Foundation McCurdy (F-236)
Storm's Gray Sky is flea-bitten gray mare. She was purchased from
Richard McDuffie in 2006. Her name at the time was "Gray Mare" on the
McCurdy Registry. When we brought her back to the barn, she kicked up
a storm when Macallan came near her and actually injured her back leg.
Thus "Gray Mare" became Storm. We are selling her as a proven brood
mare and would need an experienced rider. She has not been ridden in 2
years because of breeding, but has a nice disposition and willingly
comes to you in the pasture - always on the lookout for a carrot! She
is an excellent dam and produces naturally gaited foals.

purchased from Betty and George Rugman at Sunset Acres in Camden, S.C. Secret's Magic Impression,
"Magic", is a 20
year old chestnut mare. She was a
beautiful show horse in her younger days, but was recently diagnosed
with a detached retina. Her soft whinny at dinnertime will
melt anyone's heart. |

A Royal Night in Vegas is our
13-year-old black Walker and a favorite of Cindi's to ride. She is a
gentle spirit and is a wonderful trail horse that will follow you
anywhere in the pasture. Neither horse is for sale.

Ressa, our daughter, with Domino
3 year old half-quarter and half-racking horse tri-paint. We

great trail horse! He is not for sale. |

Charlie’s Magical Traveller,
Registered TWH, was born in April 2011.
He is full of personality and thinks that
playing in the water is probably better than eating hay! He had a
tough start to life, breaking his jaw 10 minutes after he was born.
Thanks to NCSU, he is just fine minus a baby tooth. We are looking
forward to watching him grow! |
 |
Charlie’s Stormy Shadow
will be a registered McCurdy and was born in March. The snowball on
his nose has made him easy to find in the pasture at night! Born coal
black, Shadow has already started to shed out into a gray roan. While
younger brother Traveller would like to play, Shadow prefers to stay
close to mom, Stormy.
