STALLIONS ♂



Registered Name: DD Adetokunbo
Barn Name: Crown
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 03/02/1996
Breed: Grévy's Zebra
Bloodline: Wild-caught (Foundation import)
Phenotype: Striped. Very pale grey/slightly off-white coat with narrow black stripes, a big, bold dorsal stripe, darker muzzle, coronet bands, and ear tips. Mane is also striped accordingly, with a sort of black strip at the tips of the hairs (forming a sort of black mohawk), and the tail tassel is black. Belly and base of tail lack stripes, and he has a bit of a faded russet brown hue on the bridge of his nose.
Eyes: Soft golden
Genotype: ?
Height: Around 16.0hh
Build: Very large, even for his breed. His stature is the first thing that strikes the eye (aside from his bold coloring.) He weighs in at somewhere around 1,000 pounds, and boasts a stocky, strong build composed mainly of raw muscle. Has large, rounded ears, a big yet nicely shaped, masculine head, extremely resilient and hard hooves, an erect, bristly mane, short, strong neck, as well as powerful hindquarters and chest/shoulders that help in a speedy getaway.
Breeder: [Wild-caught]
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: A rather aggressive and territorial animal. He's fully aware of his size and power, and will not be shy to state it blatantly in his attitude towards other horses, particularly stallions. Is much of a prancing show-off to mares, often squealing and striking or pawing to get their attention. With other males, he is very dangerous and quite savage, going into a somewhat frenzied state, if placed too close to one. He cannot, under any circumstance, be left alone with another stallion, in fact, because he will likely fight to the death, even with no females around to "protect". Before he was captured, he collected mares and would guard them with his life, often attacking and driving out bachelors or wandering males for miles out of his territory. We are working on calming his studly, wild nature, and already, we have made bold steps towards turning him into a more approachable stallion.
Discipline(s): Currently training him to simply be handled safely. Lunging and groundwork will then follow, and if he is deemed fit enough to do so, we will consider backing him, slowly and patiently, to ensure his and our security.
History: Roamed the wild plains of northern Kenya since he was born, running a harem of several mares eversince he grew out of colthood, which isn't necessarily characteristic of his subspecies. He was the "biggest and toughest" for countless miles of his region, and sired innumerable foals, who appear to mostly have carried on his large build, although not many seem to equal him. Was humanely caught in 2007, and imported to Double Dance, where he began his training on being accustomed to the presence of humans and horses. He now mostly spends his time on our specialized African 'habitat' of sorts, so that we can wean him into our climate, through the years. Every day, he is handled and worked, however, and behavioral improvements are definitely being seen. We are still looking avidly for a companion(s)/turn-out buddy that would suit him when he's out to pasture. Mares and stallions are out of the question, so we are considering infertile mares or geldings, yet none seem to please him. He now knows some respect, how to halter, lead, lunge, tie, load, clip, float, trim rather well, and he's getting progressively better with the farrier and vet.
Awards & Winnings: Is IZZZA registered.
Offspring: N/A
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored mares only (please DevNote me to discuss breeds and whatnot.) If bred to a horse mare, the foal will most likely be STERILE. Please keep this in mind. If you want a fertile baby, please show us concrete evidence of several scientifically proven cases. If bred to another Zebra, however, the foal will definitely be able to breed, once old enough.

Registered Name: DD Agente
Barn Name: Agente
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 03/19/1995
Breed: Pura Raza Española (PRE Andalusian)
Bloodline: Foundation import
Phenotype: Steel dappled grey (black going grey), black mane and tail with frosting, dark points, two white hind stockings, and a small star.
Eyes: Deep chocolate
Genotype: A^aA^a / E⁺E⁺ / G^GG⁺
Height: 16.2hh
Build: Strongly built, compact, high, elegant action, lean, medium-length head with convex profile, large, intelligent eyes, long, broad neck, powerful musculature, thick, long, mane & tail, muscular shoulders and hindquarters, cresty, arched neck, clean legs, strong cannons, deep chest.
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: Famous for his docility, trainability, and responsiveness, Agente can even be handled by some children. True to the natural Andalusian personality, he has proven to be very quiet and calm in hand, in the pasture, and in the stable, but can transform under saddle. Responds beautifully to his rider's aids with great sensitivity. Can be turned on to exhibit great brio, but can also be switched back just as quickly. He is safe, sane, adjusts to his rider's level, quirk-free, and is considered bombproof by many.
Discipline(s): Halter, Haute École Dressage, Bullfighting, and Driving.
History: Born in Andalucia, he was purchased and shipped to DD as a broke colt, where he continued his training in Halter. He was backed at 3 years old, at which point, he started to train with lots of ground work, eventually moving up to Dressage. After just a few years, he became one of our most prized studs, being able to perform Grand Prix level Dressage, and scoring amazingly in his tests. He not only has natural ability, but he is a breeze to train, a very willing learner, and has proven to be very capable and multi-talented. He has been shipped to various places across the world, representing our stables' name honorably in countless shows, and performing in high-level competitions since the age of about 7 years old. Now, he still trains and events, but we are still allowing few, occasional breedings to be let out, once in a while.
Awards & Winnings: Grand National Champion Senior Stallion, Grand National Champion Best Movement, National Champion driving class, first place (twice) at the Salón Internacional del Caballo (SICAB), Olympic Individual Dressage silver medalist, Grand Champion and Gold Medal Horse at the Jerez Horse Fair.
Offspring:
Beryllium (grey colt, out of Under The Iron Sea, owned by ~RenXiaoYun.)
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored, pure Andalusian mares only (please DevNote me to discuss otherwise.) Also, the foal's name should ideally (not obligatorily) start with the letter "B", seeing as how he's a Foundation horse, the start of a new line, and future descendants should be named alphabetically.

Registered Name: DD À la Mode
Barn Name: Othello
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 12/13/1993
Breed: Friesian
Bloodline: Foundation import
Phenotype: Black. Jet/raven black (non-fading) coat, with a highly lustrous, glossy, almost blueish sheen to it. Mane and tail are extremely long (mane waves down to his his side, and the tail drags on the floor), very abundant, heavy, wavered, and shiny, thanks to great conditioning.
Eyes: Warm brown
Genotype: A^aA^a / EE
Height: 17.1hh
Build: Stunning, robust Baroque build, with broad chest, convex roman nose, large, inquisitive eyes, elegant posture, has a great presence, and carries himself briskly and flawlessly. Boasts a springy, high-stepping natural trot, and has a generally flowing, graceful, nimble, easy, smooth gait. Bears thick, curly feathers at his feet, powerful, sloping shoulders, compact and muscular body type, long, craned neck, strong hindquarters and a low-set tail. These characteristics are, in part, what approved him in the FPS Studbook.
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: A bit of a show-off, especially to the ladies and at shows, but he really has a heart of gold. Is noble, kindhearted, gentle, caring, sweet, and generally a big, cuddly teddy bear with a superb disposition. Is a marvel undersaddle, always willing and obedient, attentive and careful. Copes amazingly in stressful, high-drama environments, and he's virtually bombproof.
Discipline(s): Haute École Dressage, sjees Driving, Medieval show stunt tricks (jousting, plays, theatrical performances, etc.), and a bit of halter
History: Imported from Netherlands's finest pastures, at 12 years of age. He continued training and eventing with us, even to this day, proving to not only be a stunning horse in the show ring, but also a superb sire. It is said that his own sire, "Shakespeare" (a.k.a. William), was the renown star of a very famous medieval show that toured across the world. As such, Othello now sometimes performs in similar events (usually serving the "Black Knight"), as well as circus type home-run shows.
Awards & Winnings: IFSHA Horse of the Year, WCHA Friesian division grand champ, USDF National Champion, and Olympic Team Dressage bronze medalist are some of his finest achievements.
Offspring: N/A
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored, pure Friesian mares only (please DevNote me to discuss otherwise.)

Registered Name: DD An Educated Guess
Barn Name: Eddie
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 05/28/1992
Breed: American Quarter Horse
Bloodline: Purebred; unknown
Phenotype: Grulla. Slightly purpley, light black slate grullo coat, with dark legs (faint zebra bars.) Halfway up the neck, his pelt gets progressively darker, up to his head, which is a rather deep shade. Mane and tail are black with frosting (at the dock and along the crest), thick, long, and slightly wavy. He also sports a bold dorsal stripe, faded shoulder/wither barring, a small star, a left fore and right hind sock, as well as a shortish, right fore stocking.
Eyes: Blue
Genotype: A^aA^a / E⁺ / Dn⁺
Height: 16.0hh
Build: An ideal Reining horse body type. Stocky, heavily-muscled, broad chest, strong neck, powerful, rounded hindquarters, Even if he is slightly big for a reiner, he still shows those necessary traits to be a powerhouse in the field, such as, quick, agile, and swift movements. Has an excellent top line, smooth gait, great leg conformation, smallish ears, and a remarkably lustrous coat.
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: Has excellent coordination, little to no quirks, a sure foot, is calm, inquisitive, relaxed, people-friendly, and totally bombproof. Incredibly responsive, and always in-tune with the rider. Constantly attentive and focused when under saddle, and will do precisely anything the rider asks of him. Is so gentle and carefree when in-hand that small children can easily be placed on his back without any concern.
Discipline(s): Western Reining mainly, some Western Pleasure, and Barrel Racing at times.
History: Bred and born in the States by one of the most prestigious and successful reining ranches in the country, he's definitely a Texas foreigner. He was trained there to be a reiner because of his bloodlines, although he also had some barrel racing training under his belt, before we discovered him at a futurity in Kentucky, where he pleasantly shocked judges and spectators alike with his spectacular performance. Eventually, we purchased him, and continued to event him in innumerable competitions across the globe. He has definitely made a name for himself over the years, and he's now retiring to full stud. He will occasionally continue to make appearances at various shows, but from here on in, his career is limited to the breeding shack.
Awards & Winnings: NRHA Derby Championship, Nation's Cup USET Headquarters: Reining Team Gold & Individual Silver, Scottsdale Open Futurity Reserve Champion, FEI World Reining Championship finalist, NRHA Hall Of Famer, NRHA Leading Sire for three years running, National Reining Breeders Classic, All American Quarter Horse Congress Futurity, NRBC Top Sire Award, and AQHA World Champion, to name a few.

Registered Name: DD Atomic Little Man
Barn Name: Atomic or Atom
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 01/12/2000
Breed: Miniature Horse
Bloodline: Foundation import
Phenotype: Palomino Overo. Boasts a soft, light golden coat with blotches of white here and there. Muzzle, around the eyes, ear tips and genitals are grey, the hair is heavily abundant, and a very pale cream tone (with a blotch of snowy white, in the mane.) All hooves are a peachy beige color, with a few varying streaks, yet the right fore has a few ermine spots around the coronet band and pastern, so the hoof is more of a grey shade.
Eyes: Left is a deep amber, and right is icy blue.
Genotype: A^AA^a / E^eE^e / C^CrC⁺/ Fr^FFr⁺
Height: 28" (7hh)
Build: Small, well-balanced and has flawless conformation. He is refined, yet bold and masculine; a creature of delicacy, grace and prepotency. Head is proportionate, with a broad forehead, large eyes, straight profile, small and clean muzzle. He bears a well defined throat latch, a nicely arched, flexible neck that flows in the shoulders - which are well-muscled and sloping -, a short back, level topline, long and strong hindquarters, perfectly straight legs, round, compact and well-trimmed hooves, as well as a breathtaking gait.
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: The superstar. He's certain that he is a hotshot male model worthy of any and all magazine covers. His ego is big, and his character is colossal, yet he knows how to keep himself in line, most often, and this trait is, in part, what makes him so successful in shows. He makes judges swoon with his beauty and attaching temperament, often pulling sweet little antics like neighing when a judge walks by, or prancing at the exact moment needed. He does have a cocky, studly, self-centered nature, yet he is virtually harmless, even when around other mares. Is more self-absorbed, conniving, scheming, manipulative and flirtatious than an actual dangerous menace or anything. He's just a huge show off who enjoys the paparazzi and the praise of his loyal fans.
Discipline(s): Halter, Driving
Awards & Winnings: Three-time National Champion 28-30" Stallion, International Grand Champion Yearling, National Grand Championship in Single Pleasure Driving, Grand Champion Halter Stallion, Reserve National Champion Two-Year-Old Colt, National Champion Gentleman's Single Pleasure and Single Pleasure under 32", Reserve National Champion Weanling Colt 28" and under, "winningest" stallion in AMHA history, Leading AMHA Futurity sire, and many more.
Offspring: N/A
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored, pure Miniature mares only (please DevNote me to discuss otherwise.) Also, the foal's name should ideally (not obligatorily) start with the letter "B", seeing as how he's a Foundation horse, the start of a new line, and future descendants should be named alphabetically.

D.O.B.: 04/13/2009

Registered Name: DD Bite The Bullet
Barn Name: Bullet
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 01/05/1997
Breed: Thoroughbred
Bloodline: Purebred; unknown
Phenotype: Bay. A bright, bold bay, of a sort of deep coppery hue. He also boasts four uneven socks, a snip, and a large, dipping star. There are a few ermine spots along both his right feet, too.
Eyes: Roasted chestnut color with flecks of a paler, honey-like tone
Genotype: A^AA^a / E⁺E^e
Height: A hair under 17.0hh
Build: In his youth, compared to most other colts his age, he was surprisingly bigger and a bit taller. Now that he has matured and is filled out, it has become even more clear that he is definitely built like a powerful, old-style Thoroughbred, rather than the thin, new-age ones. He is rather massive, yet does not drag excess weight or seem fat at all. He's full of bulging, glistening muscles, from head to hoof. His topline is elegant, yet he bears a big and nicely arched neck, leading to a finely chiseled, handsome head. He has high withers, a deep chest, a relatively short back, intelligent, curious and expressive eyes, a very lean body, and impeccable, hard hooves. His legs and hindquarters are large, deep, and strong.
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: In his younger days especially, he was rather unpredictable, highly competitive and rambunctious. He bears the true, characteristic nature of the Thoroughbred racehorse, in the sense that he's hot-headed, as well as hot-blooded (in both senses of the word.) He was impatient, unruly, spooked easily, was a menace to society most of the time, and was extremely difficult to handle. Had little respect for his handlers, work-out riders, jockey, groom, etc. and most people would agree that he had "a major attitude problem." Didn't always use his brain, and could be found pulling some stupid stunts. Also had a nipping issue, rearing problem, could never slow down fast enough, and had tendencies to buck when going to the track. It roughly took a minimum of four people to tack him up, and he had even broken a handler's leg, once, when having his girth tightened. Although, now that he has grown into a respectable stallion, he has learned many crucial ground manners, and isn't as keen to play the "foolish colt" game anymore. He still frequently will tease and toy with his handlers or nip playfully at passerby's, but he doesn't spook or do things out of malice intentions, so much as he used to.
History: Born in Kentucky, he was raised until he was a weanling by a world-renown breeding & racing farm. His lineage, though rather obscure and not very documented, apparently bears godly racing legends of the past and more present eras. He began his training young, like all racehorses, but not as young as the majority. We in fact only started his racing campaign seriously at the age of three. Before then, he was often lunged, put on walkers, and slowly eased up into more intense training sessions. In breezes and work-outs, he seemed to be "the one", with his amazing gusto for running, as well as his bold attitude, incredible speed and the fact he never seemed to break a sweat. His riders must always be in full control of the situation, or else he'd bolt at an all-out, uncontrolled gallop, and it became near impossible to halt him. In fact, when working out, he was often placed at the head of the others, because if he saw another horse even nearing him from behind, he went into overdrive and would not give in (which was also why he had blinkers, often.) Over the years, he has had an incredibly successful racing campaign, having been able to race across the globe, from the Dubai World Cup to the Jockey Club Gold Cup and many more. He even nearly won the Triple Crown, in 2000, but in the third leg of the fateful challenge, he unfortunately bowed a tendon in the last furlong, yet bravely pursued to the finish line. Sadly, he lost, merely by a hair. This event is also what ended his career, even though our team of veterinarians concluded that he could've pursued racing, after recovery. A few other important awards he won were the Annual HARPG race in 2008, and the greatest honor of all, the 2008 Champion Stallion award.

Registered Name: DD Flying Dutchman
Barn Name: Ghost
Gender: Colt
D.O.B.: 01/11/2007
Breed: Thoroughbred
Bloodline: Purebred; unknown (surely descends from The White Fox and whatnot)
Phenotype: White (extreme sabino on a bay base.) Pure ivory white pelt with pinkish skin (the light pink hue is visible in sensitive areas with less fur, such as the muzzle, ears, around the eyes, genitals, etc.)
Eyes: Pitch-black
Genotype: A^AA^a / E⁺E^e / Sb^s
Height: 17.3hh
Build: Staggeringly big. He's really quite huge, especially in height. Measuring at close to 18hh, he is often nicknamed "Goliath". He is also quite bulky and stocky, with a nice muscle tone, pretty thick neck, and fairly good conformation. He's not perfect, and his biggest flaws are non-serious but they're what make him a bit of an ugly duckling to those who prefer refined, flawless and modern racers with intelligent faces. He has a broad, blatant Roman nose, large head, big droopy muzzle, small pig eyes, and large ears. Another interesting physical trait of his is lack of a full, long tail. In fact, his tail is very short, naturally (it never grew longer than when he was a yearling.)
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: Ridiculously lazy. He is generally lethargic, slow, drowsy, sluggish, mellow, gentle, expressionless, tends to sleep long hours throughout the day, etc. Also has a very, very healthy appetite. He loves food passionately, and in fact, the only time he strays from his usual placid personality is when we are late to give him his meal. In these situations, he gets incredibly irate, grouchy and can do small crowhops, bucks, kicks, etc. Generally, though, he is a nice horse but has kind of the same personality as a docile and quiet Clydesdale, contrary to the standard TB vigor. Is often found yawning, eating or sleeping, since these seem to be his favorite pass-times. Nothing seems to phase him, yet he listens fairly well, and was a breeze to train, since he understands right off the bat. We fear his slothful attitude may reflect his performance on the track, but we remain hopeful nonetheless.
History: Born on a breeding farm in Maryland. Purchased by us at a Kentucky auction as a tall and gangly yearling, for the mediocre sum of $15,000, mainly because of his coloration. His lineage is not spectacular, yet we are confident he will prove himself on the turf. In a few weeks, he will run in his first maiden race, so keep an eye out!
Discipline(s): Track Racing
Awards & Winnings: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored, pure Thoroughbred mares only (please DevNote me to discuss otherwise.) Since he is extreme in the sabino gene, all of his foals should be sabino as well.

Registered Name: DD Memphis
Barn Name: Ten
Gender: Stallion
D.O.B.: 04/21/1999
Breed: Mammoth Jackstock [spotted]
Bloodline: Unknown
Phenotype: Russet pinto. A warm-hued Russet coat with spotted pattern, and characteristic tan/beige points (chest, belly, upper muzzle, inner legs, inner ears, and around the eyes.) The typical dark brown/almost black ear tips, genitals, bold dorsal stripe and shoulder barring are also present. He has faded dark points such as the muzzle and zebra stripes, too. Has a long snip ending in pink between the nostrils, as well as a jagged left hind sock. Hair is dark brown/black with russet roots, apart from a few blotches of white near the base of the mane, from the pinto spots.
Eyes: Left is blue; right is brown
Genotype: A^bA^b / E⁺E^e / Dn⁺Dn^nd / Spa^s
Height: 16.3hh
Build: A tank. Broad chest, muscular hindquarters, powerful forehand, thick and strong neck, large and heavy head, very long ears, compact and square body, draft-ish hooves, a bit scruffy in the underbelly and dorsal areas. He has pretty correct conformation in general, and is a fairly stocky type. He's, on the whole, far more in shape and generally muscled than your average donkey.
Breeder: N/A
Owner/trainer: ~Hazel-rah of Double Dance.
Temperament: A big, mellow, gentle, giant teddy bear. He's care-free, sweet-tempered and amazingly calm. You could plop a two-year-old on this fellow's back in a pasture without even a halter or lead, and he would just stay right there to graze, without walking off. Is excellent with children of all ages, and knows how to act around a younger, more fragile and sometimes annoying clientèle. In his past, he did a few "pony rides", with screaming, kicking, and drooling kids flailing atop him, yet he always remained civil, placid and polite. He does any and every task that is asked of him without a single look back or hesitation. Is an ideal mount for everyone, and is superbly composed and trustworthy on trail rides. With other horses, he is charming yet quite solitary, preferring to keep to himself and not bother anyone.
History: His early past is unknown, yet we have knowledge that he was purchased by a poorly run trail ride ranch from an elderly couple in Tennessee when he was a colt (previously named "Chester".) The owners thought, at first, that he was full-grown because of his already impressive stature, yet with time and as Memphis grew progressively, the owners feared he suffered from gigantism, being completely oblivious to other types and sizes of donkeys. As such, they often advertised him as a freak, mistake of nature or mutant. He gained in popularity, even though he was treated horribly and often starved, beaten, misused, overworked, etc. Not long ago, we sent a few members of our staff to place an offer on him to save him from the horrid life he led. Caring of nothing more than the money, his owners gladly sold him to us, and he has since been treated like a prince, being worked daily (we have quickly realized that he strives on hard work), given lots of tender loving care, food at will, and medical attention. We have also come to the conclusion that, had he been on an adequate diet for his size, as a foal, he could have most likely grown into an even larger (17.0hh and up) stallion than what he currently stands at.
Discipline(s): Trek mainly, and he also knows the basics of various Western disciplines. We've now starting retraining him to be a low-level hunter/jumper for fun, even if he lacks the physical refinement. We also once entered him in an endurance competition, and he fit right in with the Arabs, showing that he is very multi-talented indeed, with stunning cardiovascular capacities.
