Happy New Year everyone! Best wishes and blessings for you all in this new year. There will be many updates to our website over the next few months regarding our vision and direction for 2012 and onward, so check back often! On a sad note, we lost our much esteemed senior Stallion Billy Boy (aka The Christie Horse) in December. In tribute to him we will be updating his page with as much of his history as we can. He will be sorely missed.

Important Update: It appears that Tumbleweed and Tully may be out of quarantine by mid May as all is going very well. If you are interested in breeding to either one of our stallions, NOW is the time to put in your request.
As an introductory offer, we've decided to offer stud services this year from both stallions at very affordable rates to select mares. We truly desire to see the stock across North America infused with new, high quality bloodlines. We also realize that this is a tough year for many breeders due to a lagging economy. Please send us off an email if you'd like more information.

We are proud to introduce to North America the one and only Clononeen Tumbleweed, known as the "Sire of Sires". Tumbleweed and his progeny are the very best of what is most desired in Gypsy Cobs today. In addition we are excited to add Clononeen Tullamore Dew (known as "Tully") to our stallion line-up. Tully will no doubt be making a big name for himself here in North America.
