CCR's Outrajus Corajus has proven himself time and time again, both in the show ring and in the breeding shed. As is often the case with a stud that starts his show career late in life, this horse's popularity as a sire was rising as his breeding days became numbered. He now stands via private treaty only and breeds a very limited number of mares on site at Rushton Stables. He's been quite consistent in what he passes on. He puts the good hook in his neck on his babies as well as long legs. The "OC" babies are smart and game to work and have proven very trainable. They are solid thinkers and pleasant to be around. While he has produced babies that are in a variety of disciplines, all have easily found a successful niche and are quite saleable. We like this about him as each baby has a spot in this world and serves a purpose well. They tend to get rave reviews from both their trainers and owners. If you are breeding your mare with hopes of improving her trainability or putting some curves on a straight neck or body, "OC" is your guy. These babies do tend to take a while to mature as they are leggy as 2 yr olds. But, not to worry...they are built to last! If you have interest in breeding to this horse, but would like shipped semen, we highly recommend you consider his son, Lucky As Me. He has many of the traits we most wanted to pass on from OC as well as some extraordinary blood from his dam's side. He has excellent shipping capabilities.

MLF Sharper Image was a very nice competitor in his own right..3 times Reserve World Champion. However, they say the sign of a great breeding horse is that he out-produces himself...we believe Sharpy to be a great breeding horse. His papers are a well thought out combination of the old blood that is solid and sound and correct while being pretty, fancy, and a show horse. With few babies on the ground and even fewer that have come of age to be trained and shown, 3 of his offspring have gone to Oklahoma so far & they've made a total of 5 victory passes!! One of his oldest babies has shown throughout Canada and been a star there as well as winning at the Far West Regional in his only show in the states. Owners of babies by this horse all say the same thing...they are FUN! "Sharpy" puts a great attitude on his babies (as he himself has) and puts their necks on very well! They are happy workers that are built to wear the leather. His stud fee is very reasonable and he looks to be making solid, talented show horses. If your mares needs a better placement to her neck, a happier attitude, or needs some of the sound old blood, "Sharpy" is a great choice!

SYP High Definition needs no introduction. He has brought a cooler home from Oklahoma every year since his yearling year and this year he brought home the big one!! World Grand Champion Open Park harness. But let's not forget that he has also been crowned multiple World titles in hand including being the Reserve World Champion Stallion! This horse is beautiful. He's got a gorgeous head, well shaped ears, a kind and expressive eye and that leads you you to his neck. It's put on well, curves in ALL the right places, and is very refined through the throatlatch. he has a very laid back shoulder, trots a smooth, ground covering, naturally animated trot, and LOVES to work. This horse combines the arrogance that it takes to be the best of the best while maintaining the stellar attitude the Morgan breed is known for. He stands to the public for the first time ever this year. he has excellent semen and ships well. we are very excited to see what the future holds for the babies of this spectacular individual. BTW...did we mention his papers??? Out of the great Kim's Bellegante and by HVK Vibrance, he's bred to be talented and beautiful...and better yet, bred to pass it on!

Lucky As Me is the stallion we believe will carry on his sire's (CCR's Outrajus Corajus) breeding consistency and value. "Phil" is out of the mare Noblesse who herself won from coast to coast in hand, park saddle, and park harness as well as accumulating 3 Reserve World Championships. "OC" produced 3 things very consistently...first, his famous curves were very much bred into him and he passed them on time and time again...including when he produced Lucky As Me. Second, OC passed on quality...his babies were of a quality that insured that whatever they did in life, they'd do it with success and style. Third, he passed on trainability without fail. His babies were not so hot they needed special handling, they were workers that wanted to learn and could be worked, shown, ridden, driven, and enjoyed by the average amateur with common horse sense, yet appreciated by top trainers. This was a quality we banked on time and again with him and he never let us down. We have no doubt that "Phil" will pass this on as well...he most certainly inherited it. This fancy black heir apparent has attracted attention since he was a baby with his "certain something" that he got from his sire and will likely pass on.

Stonecroft Notorious is wonderfully bred, wonderfully talented, and has a WONDERFUL attitude! This horse carries the often difficult to get to blood of Stonecroft Masquerade directly. He then adds the stellar bottom side of JW Bell Aire. A full brother to the late Stonecroft Tribute, this fun, fancy, snorty horse is as real as it gets. He never has an unsound day, never has a mentally off day, he is just as honest, game, and true as you could ask a horse to be. If he passes on nothing but his attitude, you'll be pleased. But, more then likely, the other stellar traits that were carefully bred into him like his lofty trot, hooked neck, strong hocks, and overall quality will present themselves as well. This horse draws admiration every time out. We're excited about breeding this horse this year and hope you'll be a part of it.
