Stallions

 
 
Here at Sonview, we recognize that careful selection of a stallion is one of the most critical decisions to any breeding program.  Like the diversity of the mares that we are seeking to breed,  even the very best stallion could never meet all the requirements of a well planned breeding program.  So for the present, we are electing to breed in house and to outside farms to maximize the diversity we are seeking to achieve.
 
But with any well thought out program, it is still necessary to think of the future.  Here at Sonview we are putting our hopes into some amazing, young stallions.
   
  
 
 
 

                            SIR COLLIN    

'SIR COLLIN' is a 4 year old buckskin, tobiano that is truly a beauty to see. Many describe him as 'being all horse' from his solid bone structure to his muscular build.   But topped in all by his lovely, petite head, this stallion is truly one of the rare ones.

   SIR COLLIN has been started under saddle and we hope to break him to drive some time this year as he is a great carriage prospect. Standing at 13.3hh Collin is part of a unique partnership between Sonview Gypsy Ranch and West Hill Ranches USA. He will stand stud through shared, limited engagements in both Canada and the US.

 We still have a few bookings for the 2010 breeding season, so don't miss out on this limited offer.



Sire:    Mull of Kintyre
Dam:   Cameo

Colour Test:  Ee-Aa-Crn-Tt

                            SAMSON - “Bob Colt”

Purchased from the UK as part of our initial herd, Samsom is one of the few gypsy stallions in Canada that can boast the lineage of the infamous “Bob The Blagdon.…. A grandson to  “The Lob” and a “Lottery Horse” daughter, Samson has the 'genetics' to throw outstanding offspring.   Pictured here at already 14 hh and just 2 years old, Samson has a lot of growing to do and continues to maintain his exceptional quiet disposition.  Nothing short of a perfect gentlemen with everyone (especially the ladies) he is a wonderful stallion to manage.  CONGRATS big boy....on a job well done...SAMSON's first foal has hit the ground and his little filly CARLITA is exactly what we could have hoped for...(Check out the foal page)  Samson will be bred even more this year, now that we can see he truly will follow in Bob's hoofprints....

   
  
 
 
 

                                            RUMSEY

Rumsey, continues to peak our excitement as to his future as a SONVIEW stallion. Sired by WHR 'Silky Boy', one of the best stallions in the USA, Rumsey is looking more and more like his dad everyday.  A grandson to 'Lennys Horse', Rumsey has been DNA tested to be homozygous black and tobiano.  Rumsey is now 2 years old and has definitely taken an interest in a few of the girls...We've even spotted him 'conversing' with Havana about the next generation.
   

 

  
 
 
 

                                       PALEFACE  Finally arriving Jul 11/10

pale1pale2 After learning more about the criteria and confirmation of young foals at the Breeders Clinic this spring, we saw this guy and just couldn't let him pass.  Pictured here at 7 weeks old, this colt checked every box on what to look for in a great foal.  A grandson to 'Nobby' and 'Peter Ashes Good Mare' and sired by Thomas' Bay Stallion his lineage has clearly come through.....his confirmation, size, feathering and so much more.......just look at the size of that neck!!!  We can hardly wait to see how much this boy has grown....
