To create the finest performance horses, we started with the speed and intelligence of the Top Moon AAAT (AQHA) line with one of his sons, Top Moon River, who was voted Race Horse of the Year by the Montana Quarter Horse Associaton when he was a two year old. When he was 22 years old,(at right above), we kept one of his sons, Top Moon Rising (pictured below left), who has a beautiful, floating gait, stands 16 hands, is quiet and intelligent making him a natural at Dressage and English disciplines. He is now in training and being shown in those events. We kept one of Top Moon Rising's sons, Montana Night Hawk (pictured below right) who is also showing great talent for Jumping and Dressage.
MONTANA NIGHTHAWK 2002 AQHA Black stallion by Top Moon Rising and a proven race mare, Kwik Knik. Royal was purchased by Corinne Leslie who owns an Olympic English training/riding facility in the Los Angeles area. These pics were taken of Royal at his first show (age 4yrs.) The girl riding is 14 and won the crossrail division (her first championship).Royal is double black gened so he can't produce any "red foals" and was sold in 2006. He has AQHA Racing champions throughout his pedigree. His grandsire, Top Moon River was the Montana Quarter Horse Race Horse of the Year at age 2, his dam by Kiptys Charger was nominated to run in the prestigious Pot of Gold Futurity. "Royal" has a mellow disposition, a smooth gait, lots of speed without any bottom showing potential in English and Western Pleasure. REFERENCE SIRE He was sold to Corinne Leslie of Sonsy Farms in Chino, CA on 5-28-06. She sent a note and the bottom pic of Royal at his first dressage show with a 14 year old rider who was also performing at her first Dressage show. "He scored a 63.692 in his Training Level 2 test. This counts as the first qualifying score towards the youth finals next year. Needless to say, he will only improve from here! Thanks for letting me have this fine animal. Sincerely, Corinne" Pedigree
