BSG Traven

2007 Black and White Gypsy Vanner Stallion
Sire: BSG Taliesin
Dam: BSG Aisling

Tray's arrival at CornerStone Drums was the result of an extended search for just the right breeding stallion. We were looking for a tall, refined gypsy stallion to use as a foundation for our drum horses. We wanted a stallion that is built uphill, with good use of his hind end, good neck length, and a small, pretty head. Tray is all of these things and more.

Tray is a young stallion sired by the amazing BSG Taliesin. He came to us courtesy of Big Sky Gypsies,
who still own his full sister BSG Tara, as well as Tray's sire and dam.

Tray is the perfect gypsy to produce outstanding Drum Horses. His long legs and uphill build offer a level of athleticism that most of the shorter, stockier gypsies can't provide. His short back and long neck perfectly compliment the Clydesdale and Shire mares that he will be bred to. His small, pretty head offers a more refined look to his offspring. All in all, when bred to a draft mare, Tray will produce a perfect larger yet balanced sport horse.

To add to his perfect conformation, Tray also brings color to the mix. He is homozygous
for the tobiano gene, meaning all of his offspring will be tobiano patterned.
We believe he is homozygous for black, though we will have him DNA tested to confirm.
Tray also carries the sabino gene, which can cause roaning, creating some very interesting and
beautiful coloring.

Tray will be breeding a small, select group of mares in 2010. He will be available to a limited number of outside mares. If you are interested in breeding your mare to Tray, please follow the link at the bottom of the page. You can also email or phone us for more information!
