Triple registered with AQHA, NFQHA and FQHA. He is a Dark Bay Rabicano, 14.2H and would be perfect for breeding Quarter Ponies. I also have him listed with APHA for breeding and QTR pony papers are pending.
We have pasture bred and hand-bred and he is very smart about making sure they are ready. If a mare is not ready to breed then he leaves her alone. He is careful and respectful with the mare.
He has a pretty, slightly dished head with little ears, nice jaw and a kind eye. He has a calm disposition in the pasture and is in electric fence. He is an easy keeper, easy to get along with in the pasture and very quiet there-you can catch him out in the pasture easily. Trailers, loads, bathes, ties and leads and he is OK with Farrier.
He throws excellent athletic looking colts with great conformation and passes on his Rabicano (Rabicano, also called white ticking/roaning, is a horse coat color characterized by limited roaning in a specific pattern: interspersed white hairs most dense and originating from the flank and the tail head) the one pix is of his 2010 foal at about 9 months old and shows the Rabicano gene coming out!
Chex was kicked in the knees by another horse as a yearling which has left him not sound to ride, BUT IT DOES NOT affect breeding the mares at all, he bred my 15.3 paint mare with ease! His front leg grew a bit bowed forward from the injury but he has no limp and can run and spin on a dime! He is not broke, and sells sound to breed only. He has 2 mares due this year yet and one on the ground from last year that is almost as tall as him and also a Dark Bay Rabicano.
He was shown in Hand Trail as a yearling and has many point earners in his pedigree! Come see him, at this price he won't be around for long, similar bred stallions are selling for $5000 and up on the NFQH website. Up to date on shots, worming, feet trimming and teeth were floated. He is fairly calm but does need an experience handler as he has just been a stud in the pasture for the last few years so ground manners need to be improved upon. No bite or kick in him though. Just had him tested for Agouti gene and Red/Black gene and will update when I get the results.
He would make a great addition to anyone's Foundation breeding program.
