Champagne Showcase, champagne Tennessee Walking Horse at stud.
Champagne Showcase is a smart, athletic stallion, with very correct conformation. He Walks the Walk and canters with the best of them. He is loving with people and mares. Mares set the pace. He trailers and trail rides like a perfect gentleman, no matter what the company. Color is just the icing on the cake! Champagne Showcase has tested EE, meaning he can ONLY sire black-based foals.

Champagne Showcase

I was looking on the internet for a possible future stallion and saw Champagne Showcase....I was so taken with his beauty and "presence" I requested a video. Upon receipt, I was drawn to his fluid movement and deep backend. He shouted "Look At Me!" I showed the video to respected horse friends, they agreed he had the quality to be my herd sire. I didn't know anything about champagne, I just fell in love with him. I begged, borrowed and stole to get the money to purchase and ship him to Colorado. He arrived at 800 lbs when he should be 1100 to 1200 lbs in good flesh. His hoof angles were all drastically different. He had been strictly standing at stud, so I sent him to a friend of mine for training.

Champagne Showcase

We fed him up, he learned quickly. He was bold, inquisitive, and forward moving. I was thrilled. He took first place in a local show in halter/model. On one of my first local rides with him, we stayed late at a friend's house. It was getting dark and a 70 mph wind was kicking up. I thought, "Oh No!" New horse, stallion, dark, high wind, recipe for disaster. Tumbleweeds were blowing by at my head height, huge piles were quaking and shaking in the lees, blowing around and through his legs, he proceeded as though it was an everyday occurrence. Calm and purposeful, we went home with nary a snort or a spook. I was enamored. I trailered him and trail rode him with mares, mares in heat, and he was the perfect gentleman. No talking, unruliness, nothing. He would "puff up", arch and walk "extra" just a bit to show off, but that was it. I retired him to the breeding shed.

What a guy! He is never aggressive with the mares, takes his time to court them, makes sure they are ready for him. One 17 year old maiden mare would show, stand, then when he went to mount, would get scared and squeal and kick. I finally just turned them loose together in the round pen and he took 3 hours to court her and finally breed her. I was so pleased. The mare sets the pace, not the stallion. If the mare has a foal at side, I put the foal at her nose on the other side of the fence so she knows the foal is safe, then proceed to breed. I have had excellent success with this procedure.

Champagne Showcase and Masterpiece's Mr. Goodbar at play. Casey often plays through the fence with his foals, and even with his 3 year old stallion son if he is in a relaxed mood. We play in the round pen, he follows, turns, dances with me. We have a great time. He loves grooming and attention. I keep him with or next to bred mares, he is in visual range of all of the other horses. He leads as normal of a horse life as I can give him. His babies show his mind, temperament and stride. He is so beautifully gaited, he does a slow rolling canter in the round pen at liberty. What a beautiful sight.

Another thing I like about Casey are his diverse bloodlines. Ebony Masterpiece, Mack K Handshaker, Merry Go Boy, Roger's Perfection, Midnight Mack K, Merry Walker, Wilson's Snips Chance.....Who's who of Who's who...I can bred him to anyone and not worry about too much concentration in any one bloodline. I am not a big fan of breeding too close of bloodlines. I believe we get genetic faults that way. There are good reasons for line breeding, but that needs to be done by better geneticists than I. So, Champagne Showcase brings Heart, Mind, Gait, Conformation and Presence to his foals and you can see on his Progeny page what he passes on. Enjoy and thanks for visiting us today. Thanks to Jack and Bea Kincaide for breeding this outstanding individual. References available. Peace and health be with you.
