The second herd sire to stand at Big Sky Shires is "Doc". 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 Canadian imported mares and their fillies.
Tally Ho trained Doc to drive for us before he came home- They were so happy with his foal Tally Ho Tuff's Zoro and how he trained they have retained breeding to this wonderful stallion!!! His second crop of foals are here- Check out our web pages for pics- his first Hanoverian Cross is very sharp and promising.
Doc can hammer out a trot with the best of them-- this boy can move and is passing it on to his progeny. He already has a foal on the ground and has proven himself in the breeding shed. Look for several fine foals by this stallion at Tally Ho Shires this Spring out of their impressive champion mare herd!!
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 and is very eye appealing. He has great athletic ability and is passing that on. This big horse not only can trot with the best of them but can do a smooth, correct and pretty flying lead change and jump too (see our video for footage of the talent this horse has). 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 with trainability.
Exceptional personality has attracted us to this horse. He is very kind and easy to handle. 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 tested homozygous black EE/aa- through UC Davis-DNA Color Profile. Not red/ Sorrel foals here.
