Tall, Dark and Handsome!! 15.2 H homozygous black Arabian stallion that is well porportioned with correct conformation and a wonderful temperament. Pictured as a two year old through present, from Gemini Acres show barn to the mountains of Colorado.
 
Val has been used as a pack horse, working cow horse and "pony" horse teaching a foal to lead. I strongly believe that the most important attribute a stallion can have is a good temperament. If he can't live among other horses; whether it be geldings, mares or foals then I wouldn't keep him a stallion. Val was shown as a 2 year old in the Sporthorse In Hand Stallion class placing 3rd against mature stallions.
 
We had a very successful 2021.  Val placed Top 10 at the 2021 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show in February in the Sport Horse Under Saddle Hunter Type AATR. He ended the endurance season as the AERC National Mileage Champion and achieved the Jim Jones Stallion Award, as well as the AERC Mountain Region 1st place Featherweight and MRER 1st place Featherweight.
 
So, what is next for this stallion?  Well, we are headed back to Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show in Feb. 2022  for competition in the Arabian Ranch Riding classes.  Stay tuned to see how this endurance / sporthorse does as a western horse.  I personally think this will be his forte. 
 
He is available for AI (frozen semen) only.  Val is tested 4 panel clear, not a carrier for CA, LFS, SCID, OAAM1.  He is EE, homozygous black and aa for Agouti, black based horse.  He also tested T/T - great stamina in the MSTN tesing for performance predictor for speed and distanct. 
 
Val  has 4 foals on the ground and all have correct conformation and a wonderful temperament.  
 
Stud fee is $1000.  Frozen semen can be sent for additional fee through Premier Breeding Services in Kiowa, CO.
