Sire on Fire: Australian Stock Horse - Ilalong Talisman

Published on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 in Stallionzone

The heritage bred Australian Stock Horse Stallion, Ilalong Talisman, continues to prove himself as an outstanding sire by consistently producing champion after champion.

Following a very successful halter and ridden career in a wide variety of disciplines, Talisman is now producing the goods at stud, with foals that are quiet, beautiful, versatile and successful.

Amongst Talisman's progeny are Royal Show Led Champions, Supreme Hacks, National Champions, Team Penning Champions, Futurity Winners, High Point Award Winners, Liberty Horses and competitive Two Handed Cutting, Campdraft and Dressage horses.

One of Talisman's eldest progeny, Sovereigns Cadet, was recently purchased by the RM Williams Outback Spectacular on the Gold Coast, Qld, and now has the role of the MC’s horse, performing in front of thousands of patrons in the nightly shows.

The strength of Talisman's genetics continues down the line with the success of his first registered grandson, Rayma Regards. Owned by Paul Bandy, Barellan, NSW, this stunning colt won Champion ASH Stallion / Colt at Sydney Royal in 2012 as a yearling and followed it up with the Championship again in 2013.

For the astute breeder / competitor, Talisman's foals are considered an investment, with his first foal selling for $15K and similar sales figures achieved thereafter.

With outstanding semen quality, Talisman has achieved a 100% positive pregnancy rate on all mares artificially inseminated to date. For those mare owners who prefer live cover, Highplains Stud offers exceptional mare care and facilities.

Whether you are looking to breed a show horse, cow horse, all-rounder or best friend, you can’t go past a Talisman baby! Talismans' 2013 Stud Fee is $900 and he is standing at Vicki & George Camilleri's “Highplains Stud”, Dundathu, Qld info@highplainstud.com
