"Doc"
Colorado Draft Horse Classic- ASHA Regional Show
1st Sr. Stallions, Grand Champion Sr. Stallion, Reserve Champion Stallion Overall
September 2009/ July 2011

 

    The second herd sire to stand at Big Sky Shires is "Doc". We can not say enough about this young horse and his potential as a sire and show horse!!! He is great in mind, foot, feather and body. They just do not get much better than this in one package.

    We decided to upgrade our breeding program the summer of 2008 after loosing our stallion Shakespeare William. Soon after making several calls to many breeders we were happy to have a personal offer from Tally Ho Shires on this nice stallion. He was bought to cross on our fantastic line up of mares.

    Doc can hammer out a trot with the best of them-- this boy can move and is passing it on to his progeny. The versatility that this horse has is remarkable- and most of that comes from the mind and disposition that is unbeatable. He already has several foals on the ground and has proven himself in the breeding shed.  He is shipping high quality semen and settling all live cover mares. Impressive numbers for a young stallion.


    Doc is showing potential in cross bred and full shire matings.  He is well balanced with an excellent foundation in his legs and feet-- he shows great length of hip, is very balanced and is very eye appealing. He shows great athletic ability and is passing that on. Doc is adding good clean hocks, solid feet, bone, disposition, conformation and movement to his get. Here is a chance to have great movement with solid conformation, exceptional disposition and correct foundation.

        Exceptional personality has attracted us to this horse. He is very kind and easy to handle. Doc never flinched or acted up in anyway when first hitched and harnessed- great start for this horse. He shows all the great attributes of his pedigree. His linage speaks of quality and royalty. Look at the closeness of Cowerslane Concorde- who produced high quality horses with good feet and minds and then Garreg William- a stallion who has stamped his mark on the industry producing some of the best horses in the business.  Doc was tested through UC-Davis for his coat color genetics spring of 2009. He is EE/aa or homozygous black. You can not get a sorrel foal.



He is Starting to Ride - Real Versatility and the MIND to do it!!!
