📣 Excited to introduce:

LR Stetson

SD Her Royal Highness knocked it out of the park with this little guy. Highness as we call her is surprisingly a sweetheart of a maiden mare. Couldn’t be happier with her new bay c**t!

Sire: SD Empire (River Lane Ranch)

When the opportunity presented itself from our friends and mentors at RLR to co own RLR Rhinestone Cowboy we jumped on it. We thought this c**t was perfection when he first hit the ground. He is a red Sabino out of SD Empire and SD Alfy’s Ruby. We are proud to be a small part of this c**ts life. For us and our friends learning along with us…RLR Rhinestone Cowboy is phenomenal! 💙🏆

Proud to be one of several sponsors of the second annual RLR TGCA show in Alberta, Canada. International judging with a shoutout to those judges from England and country of origin of the Gypsy cob breed. Michaela Baird riding SD Empire the sire to our new c**t LR Don Louis. (It’s cold up here and are we a little biased…for sure).

Our blue blagdon mare SD Don in Style lost her baby last year. To say we were heartbroken is an understatement. Our friends at RLR in Edmonton, Alberta were kind enough to allow us to repeat the breeding to their 2023 international Gypsy cob of the year champion stallion SD Empire.

This guy apparently couldn’t wait for his debut trying to beat the heat down here in Louisiana. He’s a little early and a lot spunky with a striking single blue eye like both parents. Grandsires are SD The Don and SD Apple Jack. With undeniable quality breeding we are super excited to introduce:

LR Don Louis(“Louie”)

Outstanding up and coming young Gypsy cob stallion with presence we were very fortunate to match our mare Khaleesi with….his first US born foal should be special. Bred in England by the Down family of SD farms. Imported to Canada and owned by the Baird family at River Lane Ranch. We’ve never seen a bad picture of this guy and in person he’s that good.

This fella was one of two who started it for us with the Gypsy Cob breed. We’ve grown him from just a few months old. We’re proud of him and he’s developing into a wonderful trail partner. 4 years old this summer and not done filling out. 😳
