Eye Appeal

2011 Buckskin Tovero Colt - Price $2200.00

Stallion/Show Prospect in COLOR!

 

In today's market, I'm not really a fan of encouraging anyone to breed horses!  BUT, this colt has too much going for him for me to think he should be a gelding!  First of all,,,,,,,he's from a mare family that's filled with time proven genetics for performance, speed, size, and exceptional ability.  Secondly, his dam is one of TWO Paint mares in existence (APHA verified) that are granddaughters of one of the TB industry's all time leading sires and broodmare sires, Valid Appeal..thus providing a significantly worthy outcross in Paint genetics. Valid Appeal ranked 12th on the North American broodmare sire list the year prior to his death. He was one of Florida's all-time leading sires and one of the world's top broodmare sires.  He lived to be 30 years old and is buried at Mockingbird Farm near Ocala alongside Dr. Fager and Dark Mirage.

  I owned Eye Appeal's maternal grandsire, Western Bugs, who had ROMS in multiple events and was truly a great individual who sired exceptional performance horses with great minds..horses that won/placed at local, regional and national events.

  Eye Appeal has size, pedigree, conformation and color ...he's a '10' mover......and he has that 'little something' that makes him stand out in any crowd.  He has presence.  He also has a sweet and kind disposition, beautiful eyes, and personality plus.  AND he is sired by Basic Black Spruce AQHA who brings a wealth of performance Champions and superior trainability into the pedigree!  I personally feel that this exceptional colt will be limited only by a lack of opportunity, ,,,which is why he's for sale! He needs to be in a situation that will allow him to 'make things happen' in his future.
