Our stallions

This boy needs very little introduction, he is well known all over the globe as consistently being one of Ireland's top producing stallions. Not only has he brought a new line to Australia but he is to date the first and only Grey Gypsy Cob Stallion standing at stud in the South Pacific Region.
