Would you like to meet perfection personified???

Nelson is the West Coasts ONLY First Premium Classic Stallion and one of the highest rated in North America. Rock Ranch owns the ONLY other First Premium on the West Coast, too.

Nelson is black and white with an SUPREME abundance of feathers and a HUGE mane and tail. If you are looking for a horse you can get lost in, here is the horse. He has gorgeous eyes, sensational movement, an upright neck, level topline, solid feet and everything else you should want in a Gypsy Horse.

He was bred by the Gypsy great, Tommy the King of Wales. He was bred specially by Tom to create sensational foals. Tom has retained Nelson's daughters and they create some of the amazing horses that are sold by Collard's. He goes back to Old Horse, Sweeper Mare, The Old Black Horse and other great horses.

Nelson has been admired by many breeders but is proudly owned by Rock Ranch. He has bred mares throughout Europe and his foals have all been colored and feathered to the hilt.

He is 14.3+ hands and he weighs over 1300 pounds. He is very athletic, easy to handle and a joy to own. He has been ridden by children and enjoyed by adults. He is available at stud to approved mares. He will be available on-site, through AI and we will be offering in-utero foals for 2006, CALL TODAY!

Nelson has the highest motility of any Gypsy Stallion in the USA. He lasts five days out with fresh semen and he has excellent viability. When you want the best in AI, look no further and don't waste your money on horses that cannot offer all that Nelson can. Due to popular demand Nelson will ship chilled semen to a Danish Breeding Facility for 2006! Inquire for details to get more Nelson foals in Europe.

As if that is not enough...Nelson was 100% fillies for 2005 and out of 34 foals in 2004 only ONE was a colt foal. For a chance to own a legend contact Rock Ranch. We are pre-selling foals for 2007 and 2008 as 2005 and 2006 are all SOLD-OUT!
