Sudden Impact has been pasture breeding for the last couple of years, and we have been very impressed with his offspring.  They are especially well gaited and have great conformation.  We will be showing several of his babies this year and expect to do well with them.  Their temperament is great and their ability is impressive.  Breeding your mare to Sudden Impact will add grace and elegance to the offspring.  If you are having problems getting your mare in foal, sometimes pasture breeding is the answer.  We also will continue to collect and ship semen him. Check out the pictures of this year foals that we already have on the ground.  Come back and visit this page as we add more.
Sudden Impact was born 4/19/1996, and sired by Choco Dock.

Sudden Impact is an excellent choice for your breeding program whether you are hoping to breed a world-class show horse or a talented, sound & sensible horse to work and/or pleasure ride. He excels at both and has proven that he passes these traits to his offspring.

Out of the show ring, Sudden Impact is a lover - all who know him will agree. He is very regal and has tons of presence but he has a playful side too. Whether he is kicking his heals up in the pasture, taking you for a ride, begging for a scratch or strutting his stuff in the ring, he is a pleasure to be around and watch and prove his ability and versatility. His wins are numerous with many major national wins...which include..
