This is the good looking Appaloosa boy we call Snow. He is 16'1 hh and one hell of a lump of a boy. From the day he was born he showed the potential to excel and excel he has.

He has won many National, Queensland and New South Wales State titles going Grand Champion Stallion or Colt on many occasions. He has Supremes at halter at National pre show and a number of Regional Club Shows, open major Breed shows and Agricultural Shows. He has never been beaten in 8 appearances at the Brisbane Royal Show going Champion Appaloosa Stallion on each occasion. While principally he has been breed and shown as a Halter Horse he was trained under saddle by Kyle Mobberley and Kerris Holzberger and in only three shows under saddle he won Qld State Championship 2yo snaffle bit Trail, 2nd Horsemanship and 3rd in Hunter under saddle and Western Pleasure (just missing out on High Point 2yo by ½ a point) and did receive High Point 2yo at BWBRAC Inc show winning 5 of his 7 classes in open classes against more than 8 horses.

Now that he has done it all he has basically retired to stud and has shown he can excel at that also.

In his first foal crop of 4 foals in 2003 (all well coloured I might add) Riverdowns Gun'n Tonight went Res Champion at the Australian National Appaloosa Titles held in Dubbo. Then Riverdowns Impres Tonight was Champion Gelding and Res Grand Jnr Gelding at the Queensland State Championships. A feat which he repeated as a yearling. Riverdowns Gun'n Tonight moved to Tasmania where he went on to win Champion 2003 Gelding at the Tasmanian State Championships and has continued to amass numerous State and National Halter and Led Performance titles. In 2004 we only had 1 foal to Snow, a filly Riverdowns Shez All Style who was Res Champion Most Colourful at the Queensland State Titles 2005 as well as top 5 in her Halter class and went on to win National performance titles.

Snow now has well over 20 registered progeny and has more than a dozen that have won State and/or National titles.

So far Snow has produced 100% colour from Appaloosa Mares (and even from QH and Thoroughbred mares) as well as passing on his great confirmation and personality.

We look forward to our breeding future with our great, much loved Stallion, Riverdowns Dream’n Tonight and he is always happy for visitors to come and watch him “strut his stuff”.
