Registered Appaloosa stallions for adoption.
(Last updated 10/14/07)




Appy #1 registered as Silverrado,Bonanza (Diamond Feature x Holiday Bonanza) is a Chestnut or Sorrel stallion with white over body and hips. Foaled on Feb 6, 1994, making him 13 years old. I don't have an exact height measure, but he is good sized and pretty. He has thrown beautiful correct foals, though not all have been colored, some have been solids. At one time he was ridden and I have seen pictures of him with a whole bunch of awards and trophies, but I do not have any specific information on what those awards and trophies were for. Silverrado has been out to stud for several years.
Silverrado Bonanza goes back multiple times to Squanto (ApHC F), and the Yturri horses (which are also designated F). He goes back multiple times to the QHs Leo and Red Dog (including the ApHC F horse Joker B), King, (Zantanon), and at least once to Poco Bueno.



Appy #2 is registered as Desparado Bonanza and is a son of Silverrado Bonanza described above. Desparado is a Dark Bay or Brown solid gelding. Foaled on February 22, 2000, making him 7 years old. He was gelded in 2007. Desperado is at least 16 hands and very well built. He was never exposed to a mare, according to what we were told by the former owner. He is smart and has made a habit of undoing his gate latches but doesn't wander far preferring to stay around the barn. He has not been trained under saddle, but he seems good tempered and leads well, stands for the farrier, etc., has decent ground manners. He has the build and the brains to be a performance horse.
Desperado's sire is Silverrado,Bonanza and his dam is Bright Melody (ApHC). His dam's bloodlines include multiple ties to Bright Eyes Brother (ApHC F), he also goes back to Lucy Palousy (ApHC F) via Hands Up and High Hand (both ApHC F). His dam's QH lines include another line back to Red Dog and Leo, plus Gold Heels.



Appy #3 is registered as Me Too Plaudit (Prince Bar String x Cupid's Cricket). He is a Red & White Leopard stallion. Foaled on April 6, 1989, making him 18 years old. He is a bit small, close to only 14 hands. He has not been trained under saddle and he leads, stands for the farrier, etc. The former owner also says that he has not been bred, though with his size, he could be ideal for producing some fancy POAs.
This Plaudit bred boy has mutliple ApHC F numbers in his pedigree including Juaquin, Navajo Britches (Whistle Britches and Double Six Domino), Mansfields Comanche (x2), High Spot and Cherokee A. It also looks like he goes back to Three Bars multiple times.

Suggested adoption fee of $500 (negotiable with the owner). Owner's e-mail: shadesofshado@yahoo.com (located in the San Antonio area) Please note I have not seen these horses and cannot answer any questions about them. Please contact the owner directly. Thanks!
