 Zippos Old Gold
February 13, 1984 - July 07, 2007
It is with profound sadness and an unbelievable sense of loss that we announce the passing of Zippos Old Gold on Saturday July 7, 2007.
Zippos Old Gold came into our lives in November of 1988 at the age of four. He had six foals on the ground at the time. At the time of his death he has 1,078 registered foals with better than two out of three making performers. To date he is the sire of multiple World and Congress Champions as well as many Reserve World Champions in AQHA, APHA, ABHA, IBHA, PHBA and ApHC. He has been on the Leading Sires List for close to fifteen of the nineteen years he has been with us. His AQHA foals have earned 148 Superior Awards and over 350 ROM'S earning close to one million dollars.
He was a very prepotent sire truly marking his foals, and it is quite remarkable how much of Zippos Old Gold in his grand get in their looks structure and attitude. It is of comfort for us to know that a part of him lives on in his foals, and his grand get. His foals have made their mark all across the world and “Old Gold” touched the lives of so many people.
He is the defining tool of who I am. The emptiness in the coming days…weeks…months and years will never be filled. He was to me the “Once In A Lifetime Horse”. He was part of our family; he took such good care of us all. Because of him we have a great business, made many wonderful friends along the way, he paid the bills, built our ranch, and put our kids through school. He and I were connected in a way that is impossible to describe and unless you are one of the fortunate ones to have experienced this incredible type of relationship quite hard to understand. He will be missed beyond belief.
Zippos Old Gold was not laid to rest alone; he was buried along side My Daddys Tuff. She was his constant companion in the breeding shed, and the true love of his life. My Daddys Tuff was born on March 3, 1976. A World Champion and Reserve World Champion daughter of I'm A Tuff Too out of a Tonto Bars bred mare having earned Superiors in both Halter and Western Pleasure accumulating a total of 250 AQHA points. She was the dam of 13 foals with 11 performers. Given special consideration during her latter years with three to four meals a day she was many times given free rein of the ranch and invariably found her way to the main barn to stand beside the stall of Zippos Old Gold to visit, and keep him company. They shared a magical bond and special loving relationship. It was only fitting they shared time together prior to their death, and that they remain together always. We loved “Miss Tuffy”, honored her and “Tuffy Girl” will be truly missed.
