Just like me, many of our American Quarter Horses have been plucked from their ranch homes in the States - to settle in South Wales -
where the grass really IS greener.
Our foundation breeding is to the strictest (NFQHA) standard. This ensures superb temperament, and stock working sensibility, in our foals.
Our priorities are:
Performance Blood & Conformation (w/ cow sense) Temperament (people sense)
Versatility (good, flexible mind)
Beauty and Foundation Breeding
And finally, interesting colors ...

Izzy is Unique for Two Reasons:
First, Izzy is Britain's only known Quarter Horse carrying the stunning Silver Gene ...

... and secondly, Izzy is also AQHA's only dual Silver AND Champagne gene carrier anywhere!
Her chestnut base coat hides Izzy's silver gene, but she will definitely pass it on to her offspring. Izzy's Champagne gene gives her pink skin, amber eyes, and mottling around the eyes and muzzle.

Building on Solid Foundations ... with NFQHA
Over the past few decades, we feel the original Quarter Horse Type and Character have been slowly eroded by the constant influx of Thoroughbred blood, via the Appendix Registry used within the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) All our purebred Quarter Horses are either Certified or Percentage Confirmed by NFQHA ... the National Foundation Quarter Horse Association. This ensures they contain less than 20% added Thoroughbred blood via the Appendix Registry. The higher the NFQHA rating, the greater the actual Quarter Horse content in the horse. You can read more about this worrying trend, by reading the article, When is a Quarter Horse ... Not a Quarter Horse? ... by K. Taylor Rhys
