One of the reasons I was able to start my blog is that my
kids upgraded my technology at home. My
home is located in a bit of a dead-zone as far as wireless or cable computer
hookup availability. My dial up (yes,
dial up) service was so slow that it could take minutes for a page to
turn. Right before Christmas, they set
me up on a wireless broadband through Verizon.
Ever the skeptic, I figured it wouldn’t work, since we had tried different
things before. Literally, when you zoom
in on the map showing broadband availability, there is a 4 square mile triangle
bulls eyed right over my home. Lo and
behold, it worked great and I too could watch You Tube videos, upload and
download, and generally get things done in a timely fashion. That is, until this past week when Verizon’s
service took a dive on me. Couldn’t do
anything! So now, it’s back to my blog
and finishing up the G’s. It’s been so
long, I had to look where I left off.
Genius of Stonyridge
King’s Genius X Kate Haines (BHF) by Sunflower
Genius of Stonyridge was a good breeding and show stallion
and a full brother in a famous family of full brothers, Bourbon Genius, The
Genius, Leatherwood Genius and Leatherwood King . There was good reason his dam was BHF and his
sire was probably my all-time favorite stallion. Sounds like a topic for another day. But for now, let’s reel me in and back to
Genius of Stonyridge. His daughter, Rachael’s
Genius made it to the Broodmare Hall of Fame.
She had several nice colts who showed, and two daughters who were good
producers. Katie Boone was the dam of #1
sire Stonewall’s Main Event. Daughter
Becky Boone produced Lady O’Flirtation who was the dam of a nice stallion here
in Michigan, Callaway’s Chancellor.
Callaway's Chancellor was sired by Will Shriver
and out of a daughter of Becky Boone
Stonewall's Main Event
Starheart Stonwall out of Katie Boone
Greystone’s Conestoga
Valley View Supreme X Lady Talmage by Wing Commander
This fellow didn’t sire a lot of colts, but had a few horses
with show records. He sired breeding
stallions Captain Conestoga and Greystone’s Irish Commander who was renamed The
Irish Commander. He sired colts under
both names, which is darn confusing and they don’t allow it anymore.
Golden Stonewall
Stonewall King X Silver Moon (BHF) by The Courier
Golden Stonewall sired Sandalwood Stonewall, who in turn
produced breeding stallions New Yorker and Sandalwood Supreme. He
also sired CH Imperial Stonewall who was shown in five gaited classes.
Half brothers New Yorker (by Yorktown) and Sandalwood Supreme (by Valley View Supreme). Their dam was Sandalwood Stonewall by Golden Stonewall.
Grape Tree’s Fox
Wing’s Fleet Admiral X Clarma’s Harmony by Clarma
Grape Tree’s Fox sired a number of CHampions and the good
breeding stallion Fox Creek. He also
sired a lesser known stallion named Grape Tree’s Contract, whose 3rd
dam was Cacho Kate. I will talk more
about her later. Fox’s daughter Camilla
Fox produced full siblings by Attache` including show & breeding mare Moet,
breeding stallion Finally Attached and show gelding CH Unattached.
