This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Information Architecture) In response to the posting a couple of "lists" ago concerning Solveig II, her dam, Vanya, is, I believe, owned by Margo Saule back East. Vanya's sire, Sleipner, is our stallion, currently residing in Monmouth, Oregon. Sleipner was owned for over 14 years by the early breeder, Nona Forrester, who sold him to us, Next June, Sleipner will be 20! He is a wonderful stallion, with good bone, straight legs, lovely movement, an extremely refined head, and -- if I were to be boastful -- an unmatched temperament. In any event, he is a very sweet boy, although he does know that he's intact! His father is Dragtind, who's been recently discussed on this list, and his mother is Stina, an imported mare.
Sleipner has more than 17 foals on the ground, including two stallions -- one of which is Margaret Strachan's Valbjorn, a CDE champion. If you are interested in knowing more about Sleipner, I will gladly send you a pedigree and a color xerox with some photos. E-mail me privately for this information. For those who might be interested, Sleipner is standing at Jont Creek Acres. Live cover only; we do not ship semen. Two Sleipner foals are expected next spring -- his foals seem to almost universally inherit his exquisite head and his gentle temperament. Becky Vorpagel Jont Creek Acres
