Champion stallions Evans Johnny Black and Evans Barbary were sold in 2007 as the farm underwent some unforeseen changes. Having a very specific vision of our future replacements led us on a merry chase from the U.K., to Canada and finally to set our sights on two beautiful prospects from Whispering Ridge Welsh in North Dakota. Both colts are heavily bred representatives of the Cadlan Valley breeding plan. Both share one of my favorites for a damline in the beautiful Cadlan Valley Miss Wales and her dam Cadlan Valley Louisianna. Both would bring different and equally important qualities into our program. Agonizing over which to choose left us with only one option...both. So we welcome our two new Junior Stallions: Whispering Marquis and Whispering Archangel.

Until such a time as our boys are available to the public we invite you to visit our mentor and friend Kathleen Rawls of Mt. Dragon Stud in Joseph, Oregon. She has a stable full of imported and domestic bloodlines that are sure to improve any mare welsh or otherwise.

Marquis is 12.2 as a yearling. We anticipate him making a solid 13.1-13.1 1/2 at maturity. In addition to his potential as a future sire at Thornehill he will become Melanie's personal mount.
