CC Super Trooper
2008- Black and White Medicine Hat Paint with 2 ice blue eyes. Markings are
identically symmetrical on each side! Looking for only the BEST home. This guy
had a really rough start to life (orphaned, starved, and an absolute mess)- Most
thought he wouldn't live- but with persistence, some TLC and a little help from
Granny Mule, here he is! Strong, healthy and ready for his next adventure! Born
on May 5 2008, will be Quarter Horse size (his mother was about 15h). Trooper is
now eating hay and grain, we just put a halter on him and are slowly working with
learning to lead.
He is a little darling- with loads of personality! I am VERY attached to this little
guy, he deserves only the BEST. He is available to an approved permanent
home only.

Update 2/10/09:
Our little Trooper is doing FANTASTIC!!! He has grown like a weed, he is now
completely halter broke, leads politely, ties, x-ties, and loves to be groomed. He
has been regularly trimmed and dewormed, had is first set of vaccines along with a
brand new coggins test. He has caught right up to the rest of our foals
developmentally and physically. He continues to be a SWEET as ever and has a
"try anything as long as mommy says its ok" personality! He is great in a mixed
herd of ponies and foals, and he respects the fence. We have an application for
Registration PtHA. He's definitely turning out to be nice enough to show!!

A “Medicine Hat” horse is not a horse of a particular breed, but of a particular color. This is
an unusual pinto pattern where the base of the horse is white, but the ears and around the
entire top of the head is brown, black or roan. The horse looks like he has a tight cap on.
Legend has it that Native American tribes, especially Plains tribes, called the spot a
“Medicine Hat” or “war bonnet”.
The important distinguishing characteristic of a Medicine Hat is the head. The rest of the
body can be of any other pattern. But in order to get a white head and colored ears and
cap, most Medicine Hats or Wart Bonnets are mostly white in color with very few other
colored patches. They very often have pink muzzles.
What’s The Big Deal?
The Medicine Hat marking denoted a horse of superior ability in some way. Some tribes
had legends where a rider of a Medicine Hat horse would never be hurt on the back on the
horse. Some were said to be able to warn his or her master of danger, or to be able to find
game in the most barren of landscapes.
A blue eyed Medicine Hat was especially prized for his or her unusual beauty. The blue
eyes of the horse (known often as “sky eyes”) made the horse seem otherworldly or
ghostly. However, many white faced horses tend to have blue or odd-colored eyes.
Because of their mostly white hides, magic or power symbols were often added to him.
Medicine Hats were also considered incredibly lucky. In wearing a magic symbol, the horse
personified the magical qualities of a tribe. If your tribe lost its Medicine Hat, misfortune
was soon to come, because all of the good magic was gone. Please keep in mind that his
is a very simplified explanation for a very complex belief system.

UPDATE January 2011: Trooper is now 2 1/2 years old and has been started in training. He
accepts the saddle and bridle, lunges W/T/C and halt on command, ponies right along side of
another horse and he accepts a rider. I have to say that he is incredibly smart and willing, he
really is a try hard youngster. He is starting to ride off solo and learning to steer. This has
been one of my favorite colts to work with, he catches on incredibly quickly! Trooper is super
smooth, slow legged and naturally wants to carry his head low. I foresee a pleasure career in
his future! Updates will be posted as training continues.
