Hickory's Country Gold
(pictured above) was inducted
into the NATRC Horse Hall of Fame during the 1997 National Convention in Kansas City,
Missouri. He is pictured here with his owner/trainer, William (Bill) Hinkebein. Country Gold is a fifth generation stallion
over a 40-year span that has been selected as a champion for
performance, attitude, willingness, trail sense, gait, and speed. He is an athlete in a sport that
requires more conditioning than in his every-day existence as a trail riding pleasure
horse. His attitude and ability are consistent year after year. The parents of Country Gold were
selected for their ability to travel long distances at a fast 5-10 mph pace.
