Well this is to be my attempt at a blog, mostly because I have so far proved to be totally incompetant at building a website.....!!!!
Chamfron Stud officially started in April with the arrival of our new stallion - The appaloosa "Exbury Ghost" - here he is in his old home "Verwood Meadow"
Due to sunburn as a youngster he has scaring on his stifles and he has lost the tips of his ears hence he is mostly refered to as "The Lab Rat"
He is a lovely boy to have around, a super character and very easy to do. I'm looking forward to riding him once he's finished covering for the year.
So what colour is he...? Well his colour might not float your boat as it were - he is a true few spot appaloosa - he has a handful of chestnut spots if you look hard enough, but being this colour means that when he is crossed onto solid mares he produces SPOTS!!!! So far to date he has produced 100% colour on his foals - blankets, leopards, and snowflakes. I believe two foals were born solid but were stunning snowflakes long before their first birthday.
Here are some of his foals - with kind thanks to Joanna at Verwood Meadow.
He is a mix of some of my favorite bloodlines - check out his pedigree here - www.allbreedpedigree.com/exbury+ghost
Please take the time to check out Joanna's website - www.thewesternshop.com/websites/verwoodmeadow/
(Especially if your looking for a nice western prospect, or imported american saddlery)
