Taraco Stud



	Stallions
	Please find below details of our colts/ stallions and those we have used - In 2005 I retained the homebred buckskin (dun) colt Taraco Fiasco (by Danaway Flash Jack) and in 2009 he was joined by his 'nephew' the stunning palomino colt Taraco Firecracker (by Danaway Tango). Both have been retained as potential future stallions. In 2008 after a long search I also bought the smashing Penual Mark son Friars Golden Mark to head the section As. Rather than just keeping one stallion at home and covering all the mares with the same stallion I strive to carefully select the right stallions for the mares so alongside my own stallions I also seek to lease and use what I consider to be some of the best stallions in the World and have been priviliged to use the likes of Royal Welsh winners Danaway Flash Jack, Danaway Tango and Gwynfaes Cuhlwch in my breeding programmes. Brief details of the stallions I have used can be found at the bottom of the page. Please click on the photos to see more information, pedigree and pictures of the ponies.
