Hickory's Country Gold

Hickory's Country Gold Accomplishments Over Nine Years

Country Gold, prize-winning stallion (16626 bytes)
Hickory's Country Gold (pictured above) was inducted into the NATRC Horse Hall of Fame during the 1997 National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. He is pictured here with his owner/trainer, William (Bill) Hinkebein.

Country Gold is a fifth generation stallion over a 40-year span that has been selected as a champion for performance, attitude, willingness, trail sense, gait, and speed. He is an athlete in a sport that requires more conditioning than in his every-day existence as a trail riding pleasure horse. His attitude and ability are consistent year after year. The parents of Country Gold were selected for their ability to travel long distances at a fast 5-10 mph pace.
