Gaylord Foundation Quarter Horses

Welcome to Gaylord Foundation Quarter Horses!

We have been breeding quarter horses for over 25 years. One of the main ingredients of our horses is Mayflower. The Western Horseman did an article on Mayflower in 1957 called "Mayflower--The Matriarch of the Breed." Mayflower had two daughters by Beetch's Yellow Jacket; Lady Coolidge and Dixie Beach. Lady Coolidge being the dam of horses like Bert, JB King, and Angle; Dixie Beach being the dam of Little Jodie, M's Tom Benear, Little Dixie Beach, Little Mayflower, and Harlan, just to name a few. We have concentrated on these bloodlines with great results.

We started off with Roman Nose bred horses. No, I'm not talking about their nose. Roman Nose had a beautiful head. Roman Nose #1522 was a 1940 son of Bert #227 out of a daughter of Midnight. My Uncle Francis Coulter was one of the last owners of Roman Nose. These were the horse I grew up with. My objective has always been to keep the concentration of Bert blood high so it dosen't get diluted down. Thus keeping the characteristics of Bert strong. We do this by using the blood of many sons and daughters of Bert so we have the out cross blood of their dams. We have done this with the progeny of Mayflower; Lady Coolidge through Bert and Dixie Beach through Little Jodie, San Siemons Dixie, Bailarina, Little Dixie Beach, Ms Tom Benear and Harlan. Take Little Jodie for instance, we are breeding high percentage Pudden Head horses. Just one of Little Jodie's that we are breeding. By doing this we still have the same blood as they had in Mayflower's day. Here are just a few of the horses we have in our stock that take us back to Mayflower.
