AQHA Cremello Stallion Kings Vanilla Ice

                                         KINGS VANILLA ICE



 This stallion is our newest addition to The Creekside Farm. He was purchased in January 2011 just before breeding season got started. I researched this guy's lineage and decided I HAD to buy him. He is bred exceptionally well, has great confirmation, a good mind and is a color producer to boot! I had to have him so bad I sold my AQHA/APHA Palomino Stallion Zips Sonny Afternoon so I could purchase the new Cremello Stallion!

This stallion is a Cremello and genecally he is a sorrel horse with two copies of the "creme" gene. A palomino is a sorrel with one copy of the "creme" gene. When a Cremello is bred to a sorrel horse the offspring will be a palomino 100% of the time. The reason for this is the Cremello is a double dilute that has two "creme" genes, so it can only pass a creme gene to its offspring. (Remember offspring get one gene from each parent) If the "creme" gene and the sorrel or "red" gene is passed then the resulting offspring will be a palomino, which is a sorrel with one copy of the "creme" gene.

AQHA Cremello Stallion Kings Vanilla Ice had been a wonderful asset to our breeding program and has already proven himself to be very valuable to us! He is a very easy breeder. He will hand breed or pasture breed and he will allow you to collect him on the phantom mare for shipped semen. We have bred him to most of our broodmares both AQHA and APHA for the 2012 foaling season.

Kings Vanilla Ice has a proven track record! He is APHA Stallion listed. He has 16 registered AQHA foals to date. We are super excited about his foals next year, he has been bred to Cremellos, Sorrels, Bays and a Red Dun Tobiano mare. We are expecting 4 foals from him next year in our own broodmare band and he was bred to several outside mares as well.

Kings Vanilla is 95% Foundation bred so his foals if bred to the right mares can be NFQHA, AQHA and PHBA registered. He has Poco Bueno on his papers and line bred King several times. Poco Bueno had an impressive record  Halter points-37.0, Performance points-8.0. He was an AQHA Champion/ROM Arena. He was also an inductee into the AQHA Hall of Fame.

We are pleased to have this Stallion as a part of our Creekside Farm family!
