TINSEL KING

Quarter Horse Stallion

By Wansdyke Woodstock out of Woodhaven Fantasy, TK is an 86% buckskin Foundation Bred stallion standing a shade over 15hh.  He has lots of bone and substance and is a really solid horse yet still retaining athleticism and agility. 

TK is bred for versatility.  As well as superb looks he has a wonderful temperament.  He is quiet to handle, and although we are unable to ride him due to an old injury, he "commutes" between our farms to his mares travelling by trailer or on foot on the road.  He is such a kind horse that we are able to run him with his "herds" of mares with no problems.

We bought Tinsel King in 2004 and his foals started arriving for us in 2005.  We have not been disappointed.  He produces a large proportion of palominos and buckskins.  His progeny seem to go on to do well as leisure or performance horses.  Our own Acorn Fine n Dandy has earned 1.5 halter points and will be retained to be started under saddle later this year.  Many more of offspring are shown on this website.

Tinsel King is available to a limited number of approved mares each year by live cover only.  Indeed, he is such a gentleman that visiting mares are pasture bred to TK on an individual basis or in a slightly larger group.  Because of his impeccable temperament he can safely run with mares and foals.  In fact I recently found him playing like a colt with the foals!!  We can offer any visiting mares good grass keep and they are kept separately from our own mares behind electric fencing if appropriate.  Many mares, however, are happier and cycle more naturally in a group environment   Further details of his stud fee and terms are available from Dorothy.

We usually have youngstock by TK available for sale.  Further details can be found on the Foals 2009 or For Sale pages.
