Persa is a rough cut, heavy type Shacklford, much like "Clint", shown above. Clint is Holland's father and I suspect that he is rather closely related to Persa.
Recently we succeeded in breeding Manteo, our stylish Corolla stallion to Persa. Next year I hope to have at least two Corolla/Shacklford cross foals born. They will all be Bankers of the same blood but the cross will add much needed genetic diversity to the domesticated Corollas.
Next spring I hope to obtain another Shackleford stallion to continue the crossing of these last two lines of authentic Colonial Spanish mustangs to be found wild east of the Mississippi.
I now only have one half Corolla colt left that resulted from my crosses with mustangs and modern horses. Those colts were not bred to be part of the Corolla off site breeding program. They were bred simply to produce a few super horses. Of that group only Werowance remains for sale.
How were you able to get Holland and Persa? How do you adopt a Shacklford? :)
ReplyDeleteBTW: very nice pictures! :
I got each from people who had adopted them from the wild. The Foundation for Shackleford horses coordinates the round up and auction each year. Go see their web site. It is a great one.
