Introducing BA Classie Echo (Echo), a stunning grullo overo with the presence and talent to excel in any equine sport. A rare lineage tracing back to 1656, Echo carries a rich history of royalty that is truly remarkable. His impressive pedigree includes Hall of Fame legends like KING, Barlink Macho Man, and Robin, skillfully blended with Classic ReRun and Blue Max. This unique combination not only beauty but also outstanding performance and temperament.
It was during the fall when we first spotted a stunning Grullo colt grazing in a pasture. His unique conformation and striking color immediately set him apart from the other foals. But what truly surprised us was his sweet, gentle nature. As we entered the pasture, he noticed us right away and walked over with curiosity. He stood calmly, allowing us to pet him, and it was as though he understood when we spoke to him. When we led him out of the pasture and into a smaller paddock by the barn, he followed us without hesitation, showcasing his exceptional personality and friendliness—traits we deeply value when selecting horses.
Today, Echo remains just as kind and willing, and he has become a trusted partner. He is halter-trained and will soon begin professional saddle training. We always ensure our horses' leg joints are fully developed before starting them under saddle to promote their long-term health and well-being preventing joint disorders and muscular disorders.
ECHO is 5 panel Negative; carries one LWO gene

Spanker
Spanker is described in the GSB as the Best horse at Newmarket in Charles II's [1660-1685] reign, although there is no record of any of his races. The GSB says he was bred by George Villiers (1628-1687), 2nd Duke of Buckingham, and later acquired by the elder Charles Pelham of Brocklesby Park, Lincolnshire [in whose ownership he becomes known as Pelham's Bay Arabian].
Spanker sired the top class racehorse [Old] Careless (1692), the sire of Betty Leedes, dam of Flying Childers (one of the best racehorses of the first half of the 18th century and Champion Sire 1730 and 1736) and Bartlet's Childers (Champion Sire 1742); and the sires Young Spanker and St. Martin.
Spanker sired a number of mares which breed on, including Charming Jenny, an early mare in the lineage of Family 6; an unnamed mare which is the dam of Jigg, sire of Croft's Partner, grandsire of [King] Herod through which the Byerley Turk sire line extends into the 19th and 20th centuries and (barely) to the present day; and the Foundation Mares of Families 27 and 42.
