Some of the Judges comments
"Horse producing some dynamic moments in a calmly ridden test"
"Well done lovely test"
"Delightful and Obedient horse"

Archie’s temperament is, without doubt, the kindest and most honest you could find.

He is trained to a dummy mare so can be collected at anytime. Mare owners needing semen very early in the stud season pose no problem.

Visitors are always very welcome
