Edelweiss Magic Man     

 

Magic Man had over 40 crosses to General Gates- foundation stallion of the Government breeding program. We purchased Magic sight unseen at the age of 4 for a whopping price in those days on the advice of Maxine Snow. He reigned supreme here for 19 years and in that time left approximately 150 registered get from coast to coast and in Australia and Alaska- plus a plethora of crossbreds which can be seen on many local ranches working cattle among other places.

He sired so many combined driving champions we feel he might be the leading sire of combined driving horses ever- we would love to be able to research that fact.

He is the sire of Gus of course- as well as VooDoo- both sires now at Ragtime, as well as 5 of our broodmares- most bought back this year to carry on the tradition of powerful sport horses with type and class, added to our quest for color with quality. The daughters will be crossed on Robbi Sue's Sweet Success during his stay here in the west.
