The Perfectly Built Gypsy Cob!

10 year old Imported English Stallion

Pedigree Unknown (but I'm Investigating through friends in England)

14.1-14.2 hh 

Finally!  Our dream horse is here and we couldn't be happier!   RIO is an absolutely stunning, imported English stallion and he is the horse we have searched for, for well over 2 years.  Our Perfect Boy!  When Jeff called and said he was in southern California and was available, we jumped in the car and went to see him.  My jaw dropped when I saw him and we committed to him on the spot!  And that's after looking at well over 200 stallions both here and overseas.  He comes complete with incredible Gypsy Type, Color, Conformation, short, short back, incredible shoulder, Up-headed and Balanced, WIDTH, BONE, a Fabulous Disposition, HAIR, a Beautiful Head with an adorable moustache;-),  AND THE FEATHER!!!   He Moves like a Dream!  He is also broke to Drive and Ride.   I could go on and on, but I think you can see the quality right through the dirt and mud.  Photos can't even begin to tell the story on this magnificent stallion.  One look in person and we think you'll agree!   

We are Blessed.    A once in a lifetime True Fairy Tale Horse!

Keep an eye out for formal photos (of him cleaned up and brushed out) and updates!!  

Our heartfelt thanks to Jeff and Christine for allowing us to purchase this once in a life time stallion!

This PROVEN PRODUCER of HIGH QUALITY FOALS will stand to only a few outside mares in 2008 at a stud fee of $1,500.  His stud fee will likely increase as it is becoming more and more apparent that he is and WILL be one of the most Influential and Prominent Gypsy Horse Stallions in the U.S.

NOTE ;-) I have owned, raised, trained and campaigned Horses my entire life, including Well known National, Regional and Class A Champion Arabian Horses.  RIO is one of the MOST STUNNING and Charismatic Horses I have ever had the pleasure to meet!  When he comes trotting towards me with feathers flying,  he gives me goose-bumps.  He will leave a prepotent mark in the Gypsy Horse world and certainly in your mind!

                

 

                                                        

Just Out Grazing August '08

We figured his feather was laying on the grass spread out at about 5 - 6 inches!  As you can see it's just very short bermuda grass.  Mane growing back in nicely too!  

 

This photo is of RIO while still in the UK.  Photo so very kindly and unexpectedly supplied by Loretta Rawlings.

Thank-You Loretta for this beautiful photo!!

 

A FEW  OF RIO'S FABULOUS OFFSPRING!

***ATTENTION***  As a producer...As you can see, he likes to produce lots of color and lots of fillies!  If you have a RIO baby and you have photos of him/her, we would love to post some pics of his offspring....We will give credits to you and your ranch! Thank-You!!

Journey's End

'07 Filly out of The Journey Mare

Not the best photos, but I spent some time with this filly and she's really cute and absolutely loaded with FEATHER!  It was difficult to get photos of this girl as we had all kinds of "help" with her pasture mates!  More photos of this filly hopefully coming soon!  FOR SALE!  Inquire.  I have her listed for a friend that is moving and doesn't have a web-site.  She's very sweet and is built nice (the filly...lol).  She's been chewed on, but if she grows hair like her dad,  it'll be back in no time at all!  She has not been color tested.

Cute '08 RIO Colt  (homozygous)

A colt!  Colts by Rio have been scarce!  I hear Black Forest had a couple.  Look at the feather on this youngster!
