NEWS FLASH September 16, 2007!!

our beloved Ollie is Approved as

Manu Forti's Touch Down RID

Oliver is a purebred Irish Draught , ManuForti's Touch Down RID, from ManuForti Farms, in Kansas. He is bred from the best of the Irish Draught, being a son of the very successful stallion Touch of the Blues, and out of a Select Hornby Premium mare. Touch of the Blues now has eight Approved RID sons standing all over the world, as well as many other Champion get in several disciplines.

We purchased him as a weanling in 2004. Oliver is of very traditional Irish Draught type, with a kind and loving disposition, tremendous bone, correct structure and movement, and a lovely refined head. He is truly a joy to live with!
