WELCOME TO

DOUBLE DIAMOND T FOXTROTTERS…

…Owned by LeRoy and Sharon Tipton.  They raise their gaited Missouri Foxtrotting horses along the Wishkah River in the Wishkah Valley north of Aberdeen, near Washington's coast.  Missouri Foxtrotters are America's favorite trail horse and are noted for their swift, gentle ride on all types of trails and for their versatility, gentle disposition, and beauty.  In addition to their popularity as sure footed trail horses, “Foxtrotters” are successfully used in endurance, ranch work, gaming, shooting competition, packing, and driving.

From the time they first rode a Missouri Foxtrotter on the Friesen ranch in Southern Oregon, in 1987, Sharon and LeRoy knew when they once again owned horses it would have to be the beautiful, easy going, gentle, smooth riding, Foxtrotter.  They realized their dream 9 years later when they began to raise this outstanding breed. 

When asked why he likes the Foxtrotter over all other breeds, LeRoy is not content to cite only its smooth, easy, swift gait, as desirable as that is.  He has to include, as well, its beautiful form, intelligence, and sweet disposition as reasons that make this breed his top choice.

Visitors are always welcome at the Double Diamond T by appointment.

Double Diamond T Foxtrotters’
"Diamond’s Harbor Sunshine"

Pedigree

“Sunshine” is a stunningly beautiful 5/2006 dark Palomino, MFT Mare. Sunshine is out of our wonderful Chestnut mare Diamond,(SOLD) (Her Grandmother is Sweet Talk seen below) and is sired by the popular MFT Perlino stallion Southern Blizzard, who is also the sire of our Tobiano Buckskin  gelding  Eagle, and our Smoky Black  mare, Stormy.(All are SOLD)


Sunshine has a gorgeous head & beautiful, soft doe eyes, is well bred for show or trail; she loves people, and is smart, alert, quick, and gentle.  Sunshine will give you great pride wherever you ride and can throw beautiful buckskin babies for you.  Neighbors are amazed when they see her (and all these horses) foxtrotting in the pasture. Of course she foxtrots in the pasture -, her gait is natural.  Under saddle she Fast walks, Foxtrots, and Canters.

This girl, like her grandmother, mom, half- brother Eagle, and half-sister Stormy absolutely loves people.  She has a real dilemma whether to go out to the pasture with the other horses or stay at the barn for love and attention. (She eventually chooses the pasture – after we go to the house.)

 Sunshine loads effortlessly and stands quietly for the farrier. She is trimmed for barefoot riding.  She was started as a 4-year old and is professionally trained and ready to take you on the trail or to the show tomorrow. Sunshine knows to move off the leg.  This beautiful horse comes when called and takes her place in the barn when told.

Her maternal grandsire is the wonderful stallion, King Midas who is out of Golden Emperor, Gold Man, Golden Rawhide, Roxie, Golden Governor and Nancy Ann, Old Buck, Yellow Jacket, Topsy E., Mitchell’s Trigger and many other greats.  Her maternal grandmother’s (our retired mare, Sweet Talk), pedigree reads like a book of “Foxtrotting Foundation Legends”.  She is out of Cotham Dare F-10, Chap F-243, Golden Governor F-107, and Nancy Ann F-166.  Then of course Zane Grey and Missouri Traveler, and Ginger F-516, Blue Boy’s Entertainer, Little Trixie, Poole’s Blue Boy, and Rocket Dare.  She is directly out of Miss Happy Talk and Missouri’s Ozark Traveler. Her parentage is verified.
