Please
welcome with us the latest addition to our stallion selection!
We had
been looking for a special coloured Pony stallion to offer our
customers for quite a while now, and Ace is everthing we wanted,
with the added advantage of being homozygous (so he will not produce
any solid foals).
By the famous and
fabulous Acamani out of a very highly regarded buckskin and white
mare by Graveur Ace combines his dad's fabulous movement with a
powerful and neat jump.
He passed
his grading with flying colours in what is probably the most
competitive area of Germany when it comes to ponies, and it is very easy to see why the
grading panel were so convinced.
Although
not "finished" yet Ace presents himself with a beautiful
conformation that reminds of a small Warmblood rather than a Pony,
obviously with the 3 striking paces his sire is so famous for, and
that little "extra" that draws the eye.
The fact
that he is not only homozygous for colour, but also carries the
cream gene is an added bonus.
Ace's
foals will all be coloured, and there is a 50% chance of them also
inheriting his "cream dilute" gene, so he could be producing buckskin and white foals out of bay mares, for
example. He will be tested in due course to see if his genetic
make-up allows him to also produce chestnut and white and palomino
and white offspring.
We are proud to be able
to offer you the ideal stallion if you wish to breed coloured
Dressage Ponies, coloured Showponies and coloured Ponyclub
Allrounders!
You may also consider him
if you have a somewhat tall / large mare and are hoping for a
smaller coloured competition horse in the pupular 15hh / 15.2hh
range - as a Dressage horse for a teenager or a smaller rider, or a
small showhorse.
Yes, it's late in the
season but if you haven't found the right coloured Pony stallion you
should seriously give this one some consideration!
Great things sometimes come in small packages Ace is enjoying the attention Ace, his first public appearance just after being backed

Update: -
Ace's breeder has just kindly sent us the photos below which she
took of Ace while he was growing up, they show him as a foal, a
yearling and a 2 year old.
