Remembering Goldie

A mare worth
another chance.

Her place in our lives

More than
a pedigree.

Powerful. Athletic. Ready to work.

Bradley Beauchamp with Chism Smokin Dude at two years old. Chism went on to sire Goldie.

Raised by Bradley’s uncle, Goldie carried a family history that made her special long before she became part of B&T. Her sire, Chism Smokin Dude, was a horse Bradley trained in high school. His sire, Impressions of Smoke, was another horse Bradley had handled, ridden, and competed on as a youngster.

Goldie had the conformation, power, and athletic ability Bradley admired, but she was not an easy horse to start. After several trainers had come off her, his uncle was ready to sell her. Bradley asked for the chance to buy her and try again.

While Bradley was living in western Kansas, his friend Jared Reitchek took Goldie to Ford County Feeders in Dodge City and gave her a job. When she came back, she became one of the best horses Bradley ever swung a leg over—a partner who loved to work, no matter how rough the job.

Goldie helped establish an important conviction in our breeding program: preserve the grit and ability, while striving for offspring that are easier to start and willing to learn. Her story is a reminder of why we look at the whole horse, and why both ability and disposition matter.

We lost Goldie in 2019. Her place in our family cannot be replaced, but her influence continues through the horses she left behind and the decisions she still helps us make.

Goldie’s offspring · A life beyond B&T

BT Ecstasy Of Gold
“Wyatt”

The right horse. The right home.

Goldie’s legacy reaches beyond the daughters in our pasture. Her son Wyatt sold to Allen Blanc in our 2022 production sale. When Allen decided it was time to reduce the number of horses he owned, he reached out to Bradley for help finding Wyatt the right home.

Bradley mentioned Wyatt to his dear friend Jennifer Truax, knowing that her neighbor and good friend Greg Blasi was looking for another horse. Jennifer came to meet Wyatt and fell in love herself. She purchased him from Allen, beginning a partnership that has made us proud to follow his story.

Greg, the head outrider at Churchill Downs, has also used Wyatt on the track and on his family’s ranch in Oklahoma. From ranch work to the track and the many days in between, Wyatt’s life reflects the versatility we strive to raise.

Jennifer also owns another B&T horse, Suede. For us, those continuing relationships are one of the most rewarding parts of breeding horses: seeing them become valued partners, and staying connected to the people who love them.

Her legacy at B&T

Still part of
our future.

Goldie’s daughters Merle, Jewel, and Sadie carry her influence forward in our mare band. Merle and Jewel are by Wyo Grulla Try, while Sadie is by Rips Blue Badger—three daughters connecting our future to the program’s beginnings.
