Wanchese


Bet you figured out that I just found out how to put pictures on this thing. This is Wanchese, a young Shackleford stallion being held by Ashley, the best kid rider that I have ever seen. We have a pair of Shacklefords, Wanchese and a little bay mare, Persa. Some of the most beautiful Banker horses of the 20th century resulted from crosses between Shacklefords and Corollas. One of the most prolific lines in the Spanish Mustang Registry goes back to such breeding.
Even by my standards, Wanchese is small, about 12.2 or maybe 12.3. Like the Corollas, he was super willing and his training has consisted of simply pointing him in the right direction. Within minutes of delivering him to my place, Ashley was on his back and in short order he was being ridden in the woods. Those who have ridden him rank him as an even smoother ride than Sampson, JK's great young Corolla.
My stallions are available for breeding free to any HOA registered horse and for a fee to mares outside the HOA Registry.
