I think Duckhorn is gorgeous. What did you think when you saw him?

you know it's funny...I was looking through the stallion register about a month ago and I thought that if I ever got my hands on a mare that would suit him I would definitely give Duckhorn a try...He really appealed to me physically.

Me too, Bethani... I love the fact that he's got some depth to his chest and in pictures, it looks like he's got nice knees too. I've never seen him up close, though.

I haven't seen anything other than his page and the video from the farm...it's hard to tell for sure about anything regarding conformation unless you can get up close, the side shot is not enough, and the video on the computer is too grainy IMO. But I like him.
Also I say that with the idea that it would be something I was breeding to race, as the foal would have little to no commercial appeal/value.

Duckhorn comes from a deceptively good female family. His 8th dam is the bluehen Claiborne matron Risky. She's responsible for such stallions as Touch Gold and With Approval.

I'd love to see a nice With Approval or Touch Gold mare crossed back to Duckhorn... adding the classiest blood of the dam back to the stallion.

He looked great in person, nice size stallion, seemed pretty well mannered and his foals looked great. My Friend is between Duckhorn and Congressionalhonor
for his mare. Here is a link to Congressionalhonor could be a steal with his pedigree

Yes he was trained by Pat Byrne and won the Hawthorne Gold and the Ben Ali
at Keeneland
