Per R. L. Underwood: Golden Chief was a copper colored (red dun) quarter horse stallion with a red mane & tail & a brown stripe down his back. This is a direct quote from the registration application that was filled out by Underwood. He added this in a note on the application: This great old quarter horse stallion`s foals speak for themselves. He needs no other recommendations. He sired 340 foals on open range and is a well known breeder of good fast cow horses with plenty of speed & action. A note that accompanies a letter dated September 9,1939 tells us that Golden Chief was more than just a range stallion. He was retired at the age of 14 years from the saddle as one of the great calf roping horses of his day. This note was written when Golden Chief was 21 years old.The note described him this way, He is still in sound breeding condition. He is 14-2, weighs 1050 lbs and could outrun his shadow.
