Grassbrook Equine

People, we  have a stallion!

We are proud to announce, we have purchased Ong Bak ("for the fighting"), rising 7 yr old Waler stallion, from M Chaplin.   He arrived via transport on Monday, spending the night in Moonbi,  and we brought him home yesterday morning.  He is a rideable stallion having taken part in an Anzac March, some re-enactments, tentpegging, stockwork.... we look forward to putting him to work here on the farm, and showing him off to some of the locals.  After he quits rolling in the mud.  

 He is a well put-together stallion (see the Waler Stallion page for more info) and we are glad to have him here now.  Plenty of time to settle in, get used to things before breeding season starts.  At 15.2hh, when he stands upheaded in the traditional Waler stance, he has amazing presence.  He is strong and has the intelligent head and noticeable ears of the Waler, with lovely  feet and feather.  He is a great example of the workability, chunk and simplicity that is the Waler.  As Dad put it, he was built to carry and pull!  We feel that he will greatly compliment our mares, and we really look forward to breeding him to them, and seeing the results!  He will stand here, for the season and outside mares are more than welcome- give us a call and we will work it through.   For those of you who didn't know, breeding him to ASH stock is also accepted by the ASH Society- your progeny is registerable as foundation stock, and with the typey nature of Ong Bak, you are sure to be happy with the result.
