Shaman at three years old
Looking good with a lot of maturing left to do. I am confident however that he will continue to fill up and will live up to his promise. He has substance and style and oozes masculinity. He moves well too. He is more old Blunt than the Crabbets themselves. I want to see him in his prime, at 8-10 years old.
I also love his pedigree, not just the Ma’naqi Sbayli tail female, but also all the Greggans, Parnells, Subanis, and Julyans close up.

It’s the way he is posed, which emphasises the arch of the neck, especially through the throatlatch region, and the size of the jowls, I think.
Great young stallion and I like the way Lyman stand him up for the camera. I hope to see him in person. How long will he be in Oregon?
The stallion is staying there for now
