Ironhorse Dark Eclipse  

Corvids Jesses Magic x Magic Mingo Miss

 

Ironhorse Dark Eclipse was a well bred colt with a double cross to Inky Spots (imp), Dell Mingo AQHA and Mr Jesse James imp AQHA.

​

A sire we absolutely loved, he has now been sold on, but his lines live on within our program.

He has laid a wonderful foundation for our stud..with correct, typey, coloured foals with beautiful temperaments much like his own. He will be surely missed here, we have had him in our lives since his birth in 2012.. and we have his bloodlines carried on with his mares and fillies we have retained.

 

Tiger has been the sire of some of our most fantastic foals, as our fans would know. We wish him all the best for his future.
