In May of this year I had the opportunity to take my two young stallions to the annual Okanagan Breeders Showcase and stallion show. In the past I have taken my senior stallion *Sandman's Magic and he has always been a crowd favorite - we always ride him in these demos to the tune of "Mr. Sandman", he seems to know and like the music and it if fun to ride to!
But this year I took my two young stallions, the first was our new stallion *BCF Icon, we imported him in April from GA, from the excellent breeding program of Lisa Wytiaz. I am in love with this young stallion! He has excellent conformation, his way of going is over the top amazing and in typical Curly fashion, he is incredibly easy to handle - he is fun, respectful and yet really puts out when asked to!
*Icon has been bred to two mares for 2012 foals - we are really excited to see his first foal crop and we are pretty sure it is going to be a whole new era at the Curly Standard Place!
Here is a slideshow to photos of him from the Okanagan Breeders Showcase
And below are a few photos of him.
Okay - now our second young stallion is *Snowman's Magic ! He is an own son of our outstanding flagship stallion *Sandman's Magic and his dam is a really super quality, registered appaloosa mare Cordova True Colours. *Snowman is everything we could have hoped for from this cross. He has excellent conformation, superb temperament, a very powerful way of going and will be sure to always get noticed with his amazing loud appaloosa colour. Here is a link to photos of him at the Okanagan Breeders Showcase and below are a few photos of him from the demo. We are so excited about this young progeny of *Sandman!
Keep an eye out for both of these young horses - they are up and coming stallions, they will be trained to ride next year (2012) and are available for breeding at our farm in Summerland, BC Canada
