Alex and his stablemates shipped from Illinois to Nevada Nov 9, and they are doing great!
If you are close to Ilinois and want to see them Saturday Nov 7, please leave a message this week at 313 478 2614!
Alex has been Mr Athletic Personality since birth, and if you don't buy him, I may keep him as my herdsire! He is a rare double dose of the immortal black stallion Alcatraz, still the favorite A line sire in Holstein.
His Stamm 8816 dam's jet black little full brother, Handsome Devil, has been shipped back to Germany to attend the stallion approvals in Germany. Wish him luck!
I am moving to Nevada from Illinois ASAP, so please move fast if you live more East, than West! Can help arrange for affordable shipping.
I stand behind the horses I breed, and continue to offer a 22 x-ray guarantee: if your favorite licensed veterinarian (doesn't have to be the vet that takes the x-rays, though they have to consult) doesn't like something on them, causing you to back out of the sale, I buy back that x-ray, with exact explanation, plus up to 22 others taken that day. I do not pay for an x-ray set up fee, any other x-rays, or the overall pre-purchase exam. If they are digital, the vet has to email the x-rays to me, with a copy of each that fail, marked up with arrows or the like, and an explanation. If they are "analog," the x-rays must be mailed to me with explanation, marked up with "sticky arrows" or the like.
Bred (and registered, and soon to be branded) to be eligible as a stallion for AHHA, he is still well behaved and intact, but can be gelded. I've had a hunter customer keep her colt intact until broken to ride, so he was more muscular for baby green under saddle (he got a blue ribbon, first time out), and some dressage customers feel that a stallion is more brilliant in the ring than a gelding, and keep them intact even when not breeding.
This colt's color genetics are EeAa ... he is a bay that carries both chestnut and black ...
Height and weight are estimated at maturity, based on cannon bone length, yearling height, and height/weight of relatives.
