BREEDING FOR COLOR, GAIT AND DISPOSITION
MIDNIGHT TANGO
(TWH Reg. 801798, 5-15-80 to 5-25-01)
We don't stand any big-time, padded, big-lick stallion, nor do we stand a lite-shod stallion that was manufactured by big lick methods. What we do stand is an old line stallion that carried his gait naturally. Tango was a 15.3 hand copper chestnut stallion. He was a grandson of Triple Threat and also possessed a fine blend of the old time naturally gaited walking horses - Midnight Son, Merry Go Boy, Last Chance, Old Glory and Sir Maugray. Tango spent most of his life as a breeding stallion, passing size, gait and disposition to his offspring, who have done well in their respective show circuits. He is a proven producer of colorful foals as well as several spotted and palomino offspring. Tango passed away last year, but we do have viable frozen semen stored from him that allows us to continue his line. Stud Fee: Private Treaty. Perhaps you'd like to see a limited viewing of some of his offspring.

Height: One of the defining attributes of Tango's offspring is their height. On average, offspring mature in the 15.3 to 16 hand range |

Maugray's Midnight Tango |
Tango's Kaleidoscope |
|
| Color: Maugray's Midnight Tango was produced from a solid chestnut mare, Tango's Kaleidoscope, the product of a roan mare. Generally with roan mares, there's a high probability of a spotted overo roan; with a chestnut mare, there is also the chance of an overo as well, but | ![]() |
most likely the result will be chestnut, as the case with Tango's Midnight Pride. A black mare will produce either bay or a black offspring, like this weanling filly . Finally, when bred to a palomino, a palomino is the typical product |
Tango's Belle Of The Ball |

Build: Tango's offspring posses good bone size and density. When mature, the horses are muscular, with a deep shoulder and chest. Even this weanling colt, in the picture to the right, exhibits these qualities | ![]() |
Tango's Midnight Pride |
Tango's Merry Marquita |
|
| Disposition: Tango's offspring are well mannered, affectionate and intelligent. They are willing workers and even tempered. They are quick learners and are very adaptable doing as well on the trail as they do in a show ring. | ![]() |
We hope that we've provided you with the critical information that you need to make your breeding decision. Each year there are fewer and fewer stallions who possess these proven older bloodlines |
