Charlie was bred in England by a man known as 'Boxer Bill', the gentleman who brought the Roadsweeper from Ireland and bred him for many years (The sire to the Roadsweeper is a famous horse known as 'The Old Coal Horse' in Ireland). On one occassion, 'Boxer Bill' bred the Roadsweeper to a wonderful bay and white mare, standing 14 hands, named Old Mother Riley. The resulting foal was Charlie, a mix of incredible power, supreme manners and unrivaled elegance.
A proven sire, Charlie has produced foals in UK, and in 2005 we welcomed four of his foals, the first to be born in the United States. And that was just the beginning...in 2006 we are looking forward to the arrival of at least five additional foals by Charlie.
A true renaissance horse, Charlie spends his spare time participating in select equine competitions, including the prestigious 2005 Dressage at Devon, where he placed fourth in the in-hand event vying against an experienced field of proven horses.
Charlie is available for stud services to approved Gypsy Vanner mares, contact us for more information
