South Forty Prince Fonzie
Reg # 6860

Our original stallion Fonzie, is one of the few remaining Henryville stallions left in the Canadian Horse breed.  Accordingly, his bloodlines are very desirable, extremely rare and most importantly, in need of preservation.

Fonzie is primarily of Henryville breeding.  This bloodline is well known for good disposition and quiet temperament. 

Although of a very rare bloodline , he is not just good "on paper".  Fonzie is a very kind, and exceptionally quiet and sweet natured stallion.  He has garnered himself quite the reputation in western Canada for producing foals with a consistently wonderful temperament.  Because of this, we tend to have many repeat breedings back to him. 

Fonzie is a very good example of Canadian Horse "type". He is intelligent, good natured, athletic, and has an awesome temperament. As breeding stallion, he is very gentle with his mares and is particularly good with first time or maiden mares.  He also has an excellent fertility record.

Fonzie is quite the popular guy, and has a real "reputation" because of his good looks and wonderful temperament.  Accordingly, he always seems to have his very own personal following of admirers.  Pretty much everyone coming to the farm or seeing him at shows requests to see the "famous" Fonzie first! 

He has a real fondness for children.  Whenever small children visit the farm and want a ride on one of our Canadians, Fonzie always loves to be chosen for the task.   When a child is put on his back, Fonzie will turn to look at them, sniff their foot to make sure they are stable, then will very very carefully walk away just like he is "walking on eggshells".  If he feels they are the least bit unstable, he stops of his own accord, till they are safe again.  Fonzie has been the star of many a heritage school report and project.

Although he had not been ridden for several years, we pulled Fonzie out of the field last summer and only 10 days later, took him to a series of shows.  He took this all in stride and ended up doing very well.  He won Reserve Champion stallion at both the BC Interior Canadian Horse show, and the Interior Provincial Exhibition. 

His appeal is not just confined to the Canadian Horse breed shows, as he can hold his own in an open show as well.  Fonzie also won Champion Sport Pony type stallion, and Champion Sport Pony type Overall, at the 2005 Interior Provincial Exhibition.

This photo was taken on Fonzie's first day under saddle.
He was so calm and quiet, our trainer decided to see how
 unflappable he really was - needless to say, this picture says it all!
