Service fee $700.00 for 2010 season which includes GST and two weeks grazing.
Will be available to a limited number of mares only. Booking/Handling fee of $150.00
must be paid to secure booking by 1st September 2010 to ensure your service to
such a great stallion that is producing fantastic offspring. His progeny are proving
themselves to be easy to train, ride and having lovely temperaments just like
their dad!
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.

Sunday's Destiny
In October of 2007, in hope of getting my mare
in foal with this stallion I went down to Leonie’s farm to visit him. When
I got there I was warmly welcomed with a hot meal waiting.
Meeting Des was a lovely experience, his well
mannered temperament, his curiosity, friendly nature, and his movement and willing
nature to work sold me straight away. Leonie was a wealth of knowledge and showed
great skills in handling her stallion, especially when she encouraged me to hop
on him bareback with only a halter to control him; he was perfectly mannered even
with mares around.
During the whole process of meeting Des and getting
my mare served Leonie was in constant communication. I knew what was going on
every moment of every day it was like being there and I felt comfortable with
my mare being there. When I went to visit, I was happy to see her in such good
condition with a happy eye and the fact that she did not want to get on the float
to leave when she is normally so easy to load.
I would never have any trouble in recommending
Leonie and Destiny Sport Horses to anyone and I look forward to our future with
them.

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 been riden 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.
