Sire: 

Pedigree: 

For years we had been looking for a suitable stallion for our breeding operation. We travelled to the US several times, had numberous phoneconversations with American collegue breeders and studied many video's in order to find 'the' stallion. One of the criterea was old bloodlines and strong, good bones. When a little sorrel stud colt was born on our farm in 2005 I suddenly realized the answer to our search might be right there under our nose.

Ravi is a dark red studcolt out of Red Bud's Last Lady x Tsuniah's H.B.. Both parents have unique and old bloodlines, each with foundation Walkers (marked with F-) on their papers. Their conformation and gaits also fit very well together. Other than his TWHBEA registration, Ravi also is Heritage TWH certified. In theory, Ravi is the type of Tennessee Walking Horse that we strive to breed for in our breedingprogram.
If this would be really the case in practise was something we had to wait for a little longer. We wanted to monitor this up close so we decided to keep Ravi and study his development.

Ravi spend his first winter in a bachelor band together with 3 other studcolts. He came home in the spring of '06 with a serious injury on his elbow tendon (pulled and infection on attachment to the bone). 3 months of total stallrest and intense treatment should give him the best chance for recovery. Ravi was only a yearling but took the isolation well. We put some mares in the paddocks attached to his stall so he wasn't alone all the time. The vet thought the tendon was ruptured at first but luckily he was wrong. Thanks to his young age and having plenty of time for recovery Ravi healed well.

In 2006 a full brother to Ravi was born. The brothers shared a pasture together for a year and had lots of fun. Click here for pics. Ravi (meaning Friend) is very respectful to both human and animals. He is always in a
good mood, gentle and very soft in all he does.

Meanwhile Ravi turned into a beautifull red stallion with a copper shine and a kind disposition. On May 29, 2009 Ravi his first offspring was born. Sam is the spitting image of his sire with the same deep red coat and long legs. Sam moved to Thüringen, Germany where he will be standing at stud. His second offspring is another copy; red studcolt. In the fall of 2009 Ravi was gelded. He now is my personal riding mount.
