Katy, TX, October 29, 2009 — Sundance Kid is in Texas, and he is proving that he is different from all the other Gypsy stallions that arrived before him. His unique golden buckskin color, his muscular build, and his gentle temperament make him one of a kind in his breed. Sundance stepped off the trailer into the spotlight, appearing on Good Day Houston his first week. Standing center-stage, calmly nuzzling his new owner Doug Kneis, Sundance created a stir that rivaled the days when the Beatles stepped off the plane into America. The audience clapped and exclaimed over this beautiful, colorful stallion who accepted his admirers without a hint of surprise or discomfort. Long-haired, curious yet calm, his charm, like Paul McCartney’s voice, caused the crowd to want nothing more than to want to be next to him, surrounding the stallion on all sides.

Sundance Kid arrived to dazzle the American Gypsy horse industry in August. When he isn’t hanging his head over shoulders and licking people, he’s doing his job, breeding mares that foal horses in his image: abundantly feathered, luxuriously haired blagdon buckskins with the classic Gypsy I-love-people temperament. “I don’t know of another stallion that looks like him,” says Kneis, owner of Gypsy MVP and Magnolia Ranch. Five years old with a large solid bone structure that makes him look taller than his 14.3 hands, Sundance’s conformation is comprised of substantial bone and muscle, the desired type of the Gypsy breed. “We have gotten more breedings to Sundance than any other stallion we’ve ever had. He takes my breath away every time I see him,” says Erica Barton-Holliday, Operations Manager and the President of Sales and Marketing for Gypsy MVP.

Kneis says he purchased Sundance more for his representation of the baroque body style than for the fairytale-like qualities of his color and long hair: “Conformation always comes first. Sundance has a thick neck, rounded chest, perfect apple-shaped hindquarters, a short back, good bone substance in legs, and profuse feathers that start from the knee and tent his hoofs. That, with his incredible temperament, is the reason we bought him. His exotic color is a bonus.” Although he brings to mind the horses of enchanting stories with princes and princesses, Sundance is as real as The Beatles, and his legacy will be as lasting. Limited bookings are $3000 LFG. Action shots, portraits and DNA color results are available at http://www.gypsymvp.com. Look for Ghost Rider, the spotted stallion, arriving November 2009.
