 Grullo (Pronounced Gru-ya) Wanna Dance
Grullo Wanna Dance (aka Juan) is out of one of our favorite Andy Okie Paul (Okie) daughters, and by Tule Ranch (2006 AQHA Best Remuda Award Winner) stallion ML Dun Spun, by Maxi Lena whose get have earned $1 million.
Juan has now healed completely from his injury as a 3 year old, and is currently in cutting training. He's a natural, rating cattle beautifully and with style. He now ropes, reins, pulls logs and old tires, and can be ridden bareback and without a bridle. Coming right along as that versatile horse we always thought he would be.
In 2006 Juan sired a beautiful grulla filly for us. In 2007 the other owners of his foals are raving about their babies' good looks, great bone and muscling, and even temperament. One couple got so tired of being asked how much they wanted for their filly, that they hid her behind their neighbor's barn. Now that she's weaned, here we go again! She's not for sale, OK?
This year we had six Juan babies: 4 black, 1 red dun, and 1 gray. A fellow from New Mexico just about cornered the market on grulla babies. One young lady got herself a grulla pinto filly. Please send us photos of your Juan babies -- we'd like to oooh and aaah over them, too!
We are really thrilled with our foals, as are the folks who have bred multiple mares to him. So we still believe that his get will be just like their long line of illustrious ancestors: all you could want in YOUR horse. |
