1999 Chestnut stallion. Ben is sired by Poco Pine Oil. Poco Pine Oil is a black performance ROM son of Poco Pine. Ben's dam, Skips Ole Dogood is an own daughter of the great speed horse, The Ole Man; and comes from Skipper W breeding on her dams side. Ben has never been shown due to being severely injured at 5 months of age; severing a tendon in his right rear leg. Despite this injury he made a wonderful recovery and was the most pleasant patient that one might ever hope to have.
Before Ben headed home to Newfoundland he was bred to several mares in Vermont. These breedings produced four AQHA foals in '02, ranging in color from chestnut to grullo. Some of these offspring can be seen below.
We are very excited to see what Ben will produce when crossed with our Appaloosa mares.
Ben was purchased from Nielsen Quarter Horses in Vermont. Please visit their site and see what they have to offer.
