Macallan is my
personal McCurdy. Purchased from Cindy Martin in 2006, he was my first
introduction to McCurdy Plantation Walking Horses. His dam was a
McCurdy and sire a TWH. With such an unusual name, I asked Cindy where
his
name came from. She said he was named after a fine Scotch and he has
lived up to his name! Full of mischief, incredibly handsome with a
stubborn streak, a carrot-lover and a great trail horse! Along with
Vegas - my TWH, Macallan is my main trail horse and will
hopefully carry me into my old age. |

For
Sale: Miss Tilly McCurdy
Nine years old
Registered Foundation McCurdy (F-207)
Pictures from the 2008 May SC McCurdy trail ride. Tilly at the trailer
before the ride and my husband Mike with Tilly at our lunch break.
Great trail horse that can go the distance, quick paced for an
intermediate rider. Trained for carriage, but we have not done
anything in that area. Very calm and easy-going personality. She is
very bonded with Domino and we will
only sell Tilly to a family who will give her a perfect home.

Nine years old
Registered Foundation McCurdy (F-236)
Storm's Gray Sky is flea-bitten gray mare. She was purchased from
Richard McDuffie in 2006. Her name at the time was "Gray Mare" on the
McCurdy Registry. When we brought her back to the barn, she kicked up
a storm when Macallan came near her and actually injured her back leg.
Thus "Gray Mare" became Storm. We are selling her as a proven brood
mare and would need an experienced rider. She has not been ridden in 2
years because of breeding, but has a nice disposition and willingly
comes to you in the pasture - always on the lookout for a carrot! She
is an excellent dam and produces naturally gaited foals.

Mim's Strawberry Delight
is affectionately called Blaze. She is a Foundation McCurdy purchased
from Lynette McDuffie. She can no longer carry a foal and we would
love to find one of her offspring. She has been retired to trail rides
and keeping company in the pasture with the Tennessee Walkers. Mike
and Ressa enjoy riding her and her permanent home will remain at Water
Oak Farm. |

Nettles Reno, a registered
McCurdy, joined us at the farm in April 2008. He was foaled August
2007 and nicknamed Sky. The sire is The Swamp Fox and the dam
is Hobcaw's McCurdy April. Ressa has already started the ground
work and he will go for 90 days of training under saddle this October.
His natural gait is close to perfect and we are hopeful that he may be
suitable for showing in the near future. |

A Royal Midnight Ryder
(Ryder) was foaled May 2, 2008. |

Magic's Rebel Pride
(Rebel) was foaled April 14, 2008. |

Our Tennessee Walking Horses were
purchased from Betty and George Rugman at Sunset Acres in Camden, S.C.
this past fall. Secret's Magic Impression, "Magic", is a 18
year old chestnut mare. She was a
beautiful show horse in her younger days, but was recently diagnosed
with a detached retina. She still is a mom to Rebel right now
and her soft whinny at dinnertime will
melt anyone's heart. |

A Royal Night in Vegas is our
11-year-old black Walker and a favorite of Cindi's to ride. She is a
gentle spirit and is a wonderful trail horse that will follow you
anywhere in the pasture. Neither horse is for sale.

Miss Melba McCurdy joined
the farm in Fall 2008. She was purchased from Janis Dao in Newberry.
Mel is Mike's main trail horse. Mel immediately bonded with Blaze and
we think that they possibly were together at the McDuffie's in Aiken
for awhile. When in the pasture, they are never far apart. A great
trail horse with a wonderful disposition. She is not for sale. |

Ressa, our daughter, with Domino
- a 3 year old half-quarter and half-racking horse tri-paint. We
purchased Domino from a nearby farm in Timmonsville when he was 6
months old for Ressa to raise and train. Now under saddle, he makes a
great trail horse! He is not for sale. |
