Impulsed By Gold, shown here with the late Guy Stoops, has won every major American Quarter Horse Association Western pleasure title. The 13-year-old mare, who is known as “Cotton,” set the standard in the pleasure horse industry with Guy. The mare’s true jog and lope reflected Guy’s belief that a pleasure horse’s movement should be natural and free-flowing.
