Comments

This flashy, electric colt combines the champion sire Conman with the legendary Docs Freckles Oak.

His dam Nonda Midnight Boogie was successfully drafted by Chris Hall. She is a daughter of Docs Freckles Oak from Yarranoo Ragtime, a daughter of dominant sire influence Star Black Minstrel and she comes from the Bangle family, one of the fabulous and much admired families established by the famous breeder Ventry McLennen. This family was originally developed by the Haydon family in the 1920’s and showed its brilliance in the 1930’s with the great mare Widden Lass who won the Sydney Royal campdraft three times.

This is an exciting colt with the genetics and athleticism to take him to the top.

Nonda 100 Years of History

It excites me that no matter how much machinery replaces the horse, the work it can do is still measured in horsepower…even in this space age. And although a riding horse often weighs half a ton, and a big drafter a full ton, either can be led about by a piece of string if he is wisely trained. This to me is a constant source of wonder, and a challenge.
