His Personality

Sampson is a sweet and gentle natured Stallion, he loves affection.
He is trainable and highly intelligent without any aggression or vice.
No matter how good a horse may look on the outside, to be truly special they have to have the heart to match the looks.
Sampson has proven that he definitely has both beauty and brains and our whole family just adore him.

His Outstanding Pedigree

Sampson has APHA champions throughout his pedigree, he is from a son of Nevada Wardrum and a daughter of The Aztec Eagle by QT Poco Streke world champion reining Stallion, truly one of the all time great foundation paint horses in genetics and modern paints of quality.
Dixie’s War Drum and Q Ton Eagle can be found twice in his sire line, Dixie’s Wardrum was and still is known for being the most versatile famous Tobiano foundation sire (next to Q Ton Eagle) that has lived and bred and his progeny are known worldwide for their quiet dispositions and versatility at halter and performance. On Sampson’s dam’s side you will find Truly Truckle, Happy Bars, AQHA Cutting Horse champion Poco Pepito and the great AQHA race horses Old Tom Cat AAA by Robin Reed in addition to Miss Bull Root.

His Colour

Genetically Colour Gene Tested- Ee aa nT Rr- Sampson is a non fading black horse he carries the roan gene(not grey) and the tobiano gene(white paint markings, high white stockings) Bred to homozygous black mares (EE aa) he will only ever produce black, black and white(tobiano), blue roan or blue roan and white(tobiano).
Blue roans are rare and colour experts in the USA have scored him as a perfect 10 for his stunning true blue roan colouring and just can’t believe his true ‘10′ scale colour, saying it is rare to ever find one of his type that stays true blue all year round. While in the USA Sampson had many visitors from all over the world that wanted to photograph him and see him as he is just one of a kind and so special!
“Sampson” is a proven colour producer with high percentage Paint foals born. He will pass on his roan gene 50% of the time producing the stunning silver/blue coat with solid dark coloured head and legs.
Sampson is a non fading true black horse (no brown hairs) and his base coat stays jet black all year.
Roans do not have white hair on there faces and never turn white with age, because the roan gene is not the same as the grey gene, it is completely different and only adds white hair through the body never face or legs, it is also not the same as sabino flecking which can also falsely be identified as roan.
You will be adding a rare, designer colour to your quality foal by choosing Sampson!

His Progeny

This young Stallion (2003) has so far produced the most impressive show winning progeny over in the USA, that have inherited his same stand out colour and style. His Roan foals have all inherited his same unique true roan colouring. His Tobiano foals have the most gorgeous markings, and his Roan + Tobiano foals have just as much WOW factor as he has!.

Some of Sampson’s foals born in the USA are shown below:

Something Special

Sampson’s breeder Wendy Malone has spent a lifetime in searching out and selecting top and bottom lines of the best quality. She owns Spotted Fawn Quarter Horse and Paint Horse Ranch in Montana USA where she is producing(and exporting) some of the most beautiful Paints in the world, known for there ability to excel in many fields including eventing, polo and dressage.

Bianca and Sampson (December 2009)

We are so grateful to her that we were given the opportunity to own such a special Stallion who has exceeded all our expectations and shows the same athleticism and talent that has come before him- a rich heritage of quality Paint performance horse breeding.

Here is a quote from Wendy Malone in regards to her program and ‘Sampson’ “I have bought and bred according to quality that will hold up for the future in ability and conformation, and I do my research, many just buy on pedigree or gossip or fads etc, but as a show judge and a trainer most my life, I wanted what I knew would be quality, with much test breeding and why it took me 20 stallions to finally find the best consistent producers.
I took almost 20 years to find the right mares and studs through time tested breeding, as is what the old timers did to come up with the foundation sires that are proven breeders.

Sampson carries all those qualities of Nevada and Aztec and very much shows the QT neck and head and spirit and movement too. I think you can breed him to any type of mare at all and find his offspring are exceptional and well suited for any performance. I would put him on anything really and have not been disappointed in one of his offspring, He is a gift from heaven and even though many feel that way about their horses… when you just see him you feel transported to the winds of the clouds of what real wild spirited stallions should look like and represent and make you feel. He is the only horse out of thousands I’ve had and trained, that every single day that I see him and watch him, he still takes my breath away. If all I ever did was look at him…. it is more than enough to have him. “
“Wendy Malone & The Aztec Eagle (Sampson’s Grand sire)”

We certainly eagerly look forward to seeing Sampson’s first crop of foals which should prove to be flashy, versatile performance horses with loads of natural presence like their sire, bringing something new and special into Australia.
