The Phoenix is a mythical bird of great beauty from the ancient mythologies of Greece, Egypt, and Arabia, a lone beautiful bird, the only one of its kind. The bird not only represents immortality, but also an individual of uncharacteristic qualities who stands unique from others. The Phoenix's flight, seeking the sun in clear, pure skies, has been said to represent the capacity to leave the world and its problems behind.

Legend has it that after a life of 500 years, the Phoenix builds a nest of dry wood and brush while singing a distinctive song. The bird then flaps its wings furiously, setting the nest on fire and slowly consuming itself into ashes. It then rises from the ashes, a new bird equally alone and unique to live for another five hundred years.

2007 Bay Overo Colt
APHA/AQHA Registration Pending

“Nix” was born April 1/07 and keeps getting better with age. A stunning stallion prospect that should be able to do it all. He's athletic, muscular and has a super friendly disposition. Nix is very uniform, with a small head, great deep top line, deep in the underbelly, long leg and good bone. He should mature to 15.2.
His sire is a proven producer of horses that excel in Rodeo, Dressage, Western & English Pleasure and HUS. Once Clayboy's application is processed, Nix will be dual registered APHA & AQHA. On the bottom side are many foundation horses with a long line of legendary Quarter Horses that excel in reining, cutting and working cow. What an exceptional combination!
