CAPTAIN BARBADOS
2000 15.1HH BROWN ASH STALLION (REG 155122)

Captain Barbados is sired by the very popular cow horse sire, Acres Destiny. Whilst that speaks for itself, we would like to draw your attention to his dam line, Captains Creek Princess, which we believe is just as important.

Captain Barbados is not just 'another Acres Destiny stallion'. His outstanding ASH type is the first indication that this horse is a 'cut above' the average new sire on the market. Vic Gough personally selected Captain Barbados as his new resident sire, the same 'eye for a horse' that chose the 3yo Palmers Fort Abdul from Dalby ASH Sale many years ago. Captain has attracted the eye of discerning show horse breeders and serious Campdrafting die-hards alike, and we invite you to come and assess his beautiful conformation and nature for yourself.

In 2011, Captain was shown in-hand for the first time ever, and took out a Supreme Led Australian Stock Horse sash, following this win with the Champion Working Australian Stock Horse award. Just to prove this was no fluke, at his second ever Agricultural Show, he repeated his success with another Supreme Led and Champion Working awards in the Australian Stock Horse ring. He has won two Open Challenges this year, and won the cattle work section at each venue with stand-out scores. His limited number of progeny are eye-catching types, and starting under saddle, we can say first hand that they are 'born broke'. Interestingly, Captain has sired two duns and one palomino so far. If asked to describe Captain in one word, we would choose 'soft'. He is a very easy horse to train and handle, and a soft-minded horse is a trainer's dream.
