Gypsy vanner stallion

The world renowned Lenny's Horse
...a "once in a lifetime" stallion.
He is the sire of Tansy's '08 foal, Quince.

8 years ago I was shown some photos of a stallion at Appleby Fair in England. He was the talk of the fair and considered, by most, to be the best stallion in the country. Everywhere he went, the gypsy men surrounded him three and four deep, trying to get a closer look. They were mesmerized.

Then, a few months later another friend sent me a video he had taken of this same stallion and, as lovely as he was in his photos, it was nothing to his appeal in movement.  Never did I imagine, living here in America, that I would one day have the chance to breed to him. When I heard that a friend had brought him over, I was thrilled at the possibilities!

Silky Boy


What happens when you breed one of the finest stallions of all time to a mare by another stallion still remembered in hushed tones for his extreme quality?

Silky Boy!!
Silky is by Lenny's Horse (above) and out of a mare by the legendary Old Kent Horse (also known as The Dulux Horse).

Though still young yet, this boy is so close to my ideal he gives me goosebumps!
Our Tansy will be bred to Silky.

Silver Fox

Gypsy stallion

Three years ago a favorite mare of mine gave birth to a stunning, chunky colt by a stallion I had admired since I first saw him. How I wanted that colt! But it was not to be. In time the colt went to live with our friends at Misty Valley and is now known as Silver Fox....and I still adore him!
Our Teasel is in foal to Foxy for a 2011.

Foxy is by Hustler and out of Rowen. He is a breath-taking shade of silver dapple. But his qualities lie in his wonderful breed-type and properly massive body and bone. He also has much more feather than most silver dapples. All in all I love this stallion.
