If you have seen the two stunning buckskin stallions now in the US, (the Duke of Earl, and the Falcon) you will understand why I looked long and hard to try to find a young buckskin stallion with 4 black legs who would grow up to look like them! I finally found what I was looking for at Lake Ridge Gypsy Farm. Laura Robeadou agreed to sell me her buckskin yearling, Shandy. Lake Ridge Shandy Blackfeathers is now growing big and strong and learning to become a well mannered stallion here in TN. Shandy has many well know gypsy horses in his pedigree. His dam is a smoky black mare named Lake Ridge Bella Star, and his sire is a bay stallion in the UK named Big Red, who was sired by The Dorie Stallion, sired by Bob the Blagdon, sired by The Lob Eared Horse. Shandy will be introduced to Rosie in the spring of 2011.
The following are pictures of stallions we have used in our breeding program:
