Sunday's Destiny - Our Foundation Colt

WINNING SIRE OF "TWO PROGENY BY THE SAME SIRE" AT THE 2010 CENTRAL DISTRICTS ALLBREEDS FOAL SHOW.

Des does not stand to the public for service.

Sunday's Destiny is the inspiration for our stud name Destiny Sporthorses. We have retained him as a foundation stallion because of his temperament, lovely conformation and movement. His progeny have fantastic temperament and trainability.

Des is a 16.1hh clyde x TB He is black with white ticking through parts of his coat.

Des lives on a farm in Mangaweka which is 30 minutes south of Taihape, one hour north of Bulls. Des is able to either hand serve or paddock run with mares.

Des was started under saddle mid 2005 by us and then did two inhand shows as a rising two year old. In July 2006, he was re-started under saddle and then did a months hacking experience with Lone Park Stud before going back to the farm to run with his mares. Des's temperament showing that he can be ridden at any time shows how well mannered he is.

Des is registered with the NZ Sport Horse Promotion Board.

Des's progeny showing and under saddle:

Destiny's Rendezvous

Ronnie is certainly the image of his sire! Currently 15.2hh as a three year old, he will grow approx 16hh.

Ronnie was sold as a weanling and we lost track of him. Luckily for us, his current owner Carol phoned and we were able to be back in touch with the stunning young man!

Photos are of Ronnie and Carol at the 2011 Manawatu A&P. Carol absolutely loves him and he made her very proud on the day!

Ronnie is full brother to Destiny's Paramour and half brother to Destiny's Kara Mia, and Destiny's French Connection.

Destiny's Emerald Isle

Leigh has kindly sent us photos of Tara at her first inhand show this season at Stratford. Tara did very well considering she is only a yearling and competed against horses much older than her!

Tara is half sister to Destiny's Rose of Tralee and Destiny's Dreams Come True.

Congrats Leigh and Tara!

Destiny's Knight Rider

Zinny is now 16hh as a rising three year old with an EMH of 16.2-16.3hh. He is out of an Imperial Seal mare.

Zinny is owned by Lisa Nicol of Havelock North and she has kindly given us an update on how her boy is doing:

"I can tell you now how he went when first ridden so you can put it on your website. The photo of him being ridden by Phillip was his third ride and he was out in paddock trotting and cantering around no problem.

I rode him in yard after that and then took over riding him as he was so quiet. He has no buck, rear or jib in him. I call him the "yes horse". I say do this and he says "yes" with no argument.

Horses are hard to find like that with no dirt .So yes im very pleased. I think the sire Des has a lot to do with it, he must throw the good temperament into his off spring."

Thanks Lisa for letting us know how your stunning young man is doing!

Colour genetics
Des's white ticking is due to the sabino gene, not the true roan gene. Researchers on colour genetics state that the true roan gene does not exist in clydesdales and the ticking is commonly mistaken to be true roan.
