Introducing Gaston our purebred Percheron.
Gaston is by the French bred Trappeur who was imported first to England, and later to Australia where he has been a Champion in all countries.

Percherons are a French draft horse that are known as the clean legged draft horse as they have little or no hair (feather) on their legs.
They have a bigger, longer stride than their clydesdale counterparts, but have all the draft qualities, temperment, trainability and excellent work ethic.

Gaston is expected to mature at around 17hh and will be grey. He has been broken to saddle and harness and possesses all the qualities needed to be a great sire. With 100% in foal in his first serving season we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first crop in Spring 2006. He is a perfect type to cross over thoroughbred mares to bred the ultimate sporthorse, or over a heavier type to bred working and hunter type horses.

Gaston has huge, ground covering paces and has an impecable temperament. He has had one outing at the North Island All Breeds to take second to his full brother Cobigan Tobias, who has 4 years age on him. His brother went on to be Grand Champion Heavy Horse and we expect Gaston to mature into a very similar type.

Due to Gaston being a working stallion his semen is available AI only. Visitors are welcome to view him at Carriage House Farm, 263 Ara Kotinga, Whitford, Auckland. His current service fee is $700.

2006 foals by Gaston out of thoroughbred and draft mares will be for sale at weaning.
