SOLD: We congratulate Clannad's new owner. Look for him on an upcoming segment on Horse TV and at shows in Texas/Oklahoma in 2010.Clannad of CastleKnoll Clannad is a 14-year-old, gelding with wonderful conformation, abundant feather, standing 14.2hh. He has a soft expressive eye, a lovely refined head and that apple bum we are all looking for. Broke to ride and drive, his smooth gaits are a pleasure. Accomplished in driving, Clannad is used regularly to go down the country roads around us. He has a breathtaking working trot!Clannad's sire is alleged to have been Nelson Taylor's Black Horse whose sire was Eddy Horcock's Black Horse, who goes back to "Lob." His stated dam was a black and white mare whose Great Grandsire was "Black Bob." There is a strong resemblance to the Lottery Horse and there has been some speculation from parties in the UK that a relationship exists. With so many horses untested, this will be an evolving process. Clannad is registered with the Gypsy Vanner Society (GV00607F), The Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association (FG19612295) and The Gypsy Cob Society of America. On October 7, 2006, Clannad participated in the first ever US inspection, sponsored by the Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association, with UK Judge James Taylor. We are pleased he achieved overall *Premium* status. While we believe he could have scored better if he had more experience in public settings not related to breeding (yes, he dropped!), we missed First Premium In Hand by seven-tenths of one point and comfortably achieved First Premium in Working (Driving).
