TopAppaloosas > The softer side. :)

I can't believe I caught him with a flower!!

TopAppaloosas > Notice the full luxurious tail and coloring perfectly placed across the hips. See the nice spring to his rib cage? This allows plenty of room for organs and when asked to work hard or when hard at play; there is lots of "breathing room".

TopAppaloosas > Time to mozzie on down the fence to find a fresh area of grass that needs grazing!! This is the life!!! Notice the tiny ears associated with Gay Bar King breeding? He has big beautiful eyes as well. This stallion is intelligent, respectful and a dream to handle; more attributes he easily seems to pass on to his foals.

Silver has sired foals in Germany and Bavaria!! Thanks to frozen semen, Martin Boon and Siaset Farms!!!

TopAppaloosas > Silver's has a clean throat latch and neck. The neck is not too thick or wide; it doesn't in any way encumber his ability to turn or move quickly. Balance and Ability are the two words that easily describe this stallion. Silver is quite simply a great athlete; proven by his 4 World Championship Titles!!
