International Patterned Sport Horses

Our horses are registered with the International Patterned Sport Horse Registry and the Appaloosa Sport Horse Association. We hope to have Tiger, Spicie, and Alaric inspected with the RPSI in 2008.  

We have two very talented jumpers, with good over all conformation and Appaloosa heritage. Both have exceptional movement, have competed over 4 foot fences, are amature friendly, used in our lesson program, and have excellent personalities. We have chosen to breed them to stallions, that not only complement them, but should also improve upon them. I look for stallions with excellent sport horse breeding, incredible movement, talent for jumping, and fantastic all around scores at their inspections or in competition. I do look for a stallion that is accomplishing or has accomplished a following in competiton, whether it be hunters, jumpers, dressage, or eventing. I also love to see that he is passing it on to his get.


 "A stallion's worth as a stallion, is only measured by that of his offspring."

I would love to eventually breed Knabstruppers and will have all eligible fillies out of these mares inspected for approval for Knabstrupper breeding. All foals will eventually be inspected with RPSI. I would prefer to stay small as far as breeding, so I do not plan on keeping a stallion and I probably will never breed more than 1 or 2 mares in a year, if any.
