Sundancer Stud is nestled in the heart of the Natal Midlands, in an idillic setting to breed and raise performance Quarter Horses. Owned by Laurie-Lee Farrand, it boasts the finest facilities and rolling hills, once you have visited you wont ever want to leave. Standing at stud is our resident imported (USA) Quarter Horse Stallion, CT Gunner by the legendary Colonels Smoking Gun (Gunner) out a Be
Aech Enterprise mare. CT Gunner is dual registered as both a paint and a Quarter Horse, and his likeness to his great sire can't be ignored. CT needs little introduction, as a Reserve World Champion (Apha) reining stallion. The brood mare band is made up of fully imported (USA) mares whose pedigrees' read like a "who's who" of the Quarter Horse world. Brood mare sires, include Nu Chex to cash, Top Sail Whiz and Dualin Gun. Every mare was hand picked for performance bloodlines, temperament, and conformation, to ensure we only breed the very best Quarter Horse foals. As a Boutique stud we produce a very limited number of foals, we breed for quality not quantity. With just a handful of foals bred each year, we are very selective about our mares. The stud is absolutely the passion of the people who own and run it. We have a very clear philosophy here at Sundancer, and that is to produce horses who will go on and have a long and successful and HAPPY showing career. No corners are cut and every single baby who is raised at the stud is given every possible chance to make it to the top. Our foals are handled daily, walk nicely on a lead line, stand to be groomed, sprayed, bathed, feet done etc, load themselves in the trailer, and when old enough also pony out off an older horse to learn about the world. Those who stay here till their third year will be backed and started in a quiet and professional manner, ensuring they have the best foundation we can give them. Its VERY important that any of our babies that are sold, are matched perfectly to the right home for each individual. For this reason we insist on any potential purchasers coming to spend time at the stud, so we can match up your personality and needs to the perfect horse. Its our mission to have happy horses and happy successful clients.
