FT Inspired by Gold is a marvelous liver chestnut horse sired by Flight Time Gold, a World Champion bred golden American Saddlebred. He is out of the Thoroughbred mare Malia. This mare was a successful hunter and Prelim jumper, sired by a son of Nasrullah and out of a mare by a son of Nasrullah. She had the conformation and athletic ability that her breeding is known for, being linebred on the most successful Thoroughbred Sporthorse sire in modern times. "Wonder", as this colt was affectionately known, matured at 16 hnads and was destined for a career as an eventer or hunter/jumper. He became a World Champion Western Dressage Horse instead! His well developed, large hip, elegant neck and head, and very correct legs ensured his soundness well into his old age and he still gives lessons at age 30! Not only is he a powerful, athletic, uphill mover, he is brave and bold like his mother, kind and sensible like his sire. Shown lightly in 1996 as a weanling, Wonder earned the AWS National Star Program Silver Medal, and was reserve at the AWS Portland Inspection site. Winning ways followed him throughout his life under several different riders with breeder/owner Michelle always his resolute champion. He is double registered with the AWS and the PHR (Performance Horse Registry, for half TB).
