The color of the eyes seems to be like those of the champagnes when born. But as clearly cited, its only speculative. No proof at all. |

Tennessee Stud
by Jimmy Driftwood
Along about eighteen and twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would have got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin on the Tennessee stud
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fud
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud
CHORUS:
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud
One day I was ridin' in the beautiful land
And ran smack into an Indian band
They jerked their knives with a whoop and a yell
But I rode away like a bat out of hell
Well I circled their camp for a time or two
And showed what a Tennessee hoss could do
And them redskin boys never got my blood
'Cause I was a-ridin' on the Tennessee stud
CHORUS
We drifted on down into no man's land
We crossed the river called the Rio Grande
I raced my hoss with the Spaniards bold
Till I got me a skin full of silver and gold
Me and a gambler we couldn't agree
We got in a fight over Tennessee
We jerked our guns, he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud
CHORUS
Well, I got as lonesome as a man can be
Dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue
'Cause he was a-dneamin' of a sweetheart too
We loped on back across Arkansas
I whipped her brother and I whipped her pa
I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was ridin' on a Tennessee mare
CHORUS
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood
On the Tennessee mare and the Tennessee stud
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
Little hoss colt playin' 'round the door
I love the girl with golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare
CHORUS

No ordinary chestnut here, looks like champagne to me in a way.
Just goes to show, unless we are God, we DON'T know what horses in the past have "mutated" or "evolved" into newly recognized colors. I think his color is unique.

I think he looks like a body clipped chestnut.
ETA:Actually reminds me quite a bit of this girl

yeah it does, but his tail has a lot of color in it, and his body tint appears to have a gold appearance. the mare I saw on CANTER was more the "buckskin" appearing type champagne..........pretty colors anyways.

I am so tempted to go check him out whenever I do a trip down to Leesburg to visit family. He is certainly and interesting looking one. |

Just out of BIG curiosity, I emailed the owner and asked if the gelding had been body clipped, also, what color were his eyes, if he had any purple speckling around his eyes, muzzle, groin........I will let you know as soon as I get word

Yes, I'm sorry.......I thought I already told you all.
He was chestnut, BUT body clipped.
Oh well, we will keep watching for one!

Not far enough back Jorge, see this mare much further back in his pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/gracie+buck2 1946. |
I don't think that any of those horses were registered as "champagne" by the AQHA since they were all deceased before the AQHA accepted the champagne color. Some of these horses even predate the AQHA. This is a case of somebody changing historical records based on their own prejudices. |
