Stallions

Deveron Duvall, a legend in his own lifetime. He is a Royal Show Champion many times over and sire of countless Championship winners, both in hand and under saddle up to Royal Show and Aust. Championship level.

He is renowned for his ability to pass on his fabulous temperament and superb movement to his progeny. These qualities, coupled with their people friendly nature, make them a pleasure to own and work with.

Duvall is intensely bred to the Crabbet stallion, Sindh(imp), a line noted for their saddle horse qualities.

Truly his father's son in every way. Di Maggio's quality, type and correctness, together with his generous temperament and outstanding movement ensure he has all the attributes to produce sound, trainable performance horses.

His grandsire, on his dam's side is the multi talented Warmblood, Grand Flaneur, who competed in Showjumping, Eventing and Dressage up to Medium level, although his training reached Grand Prix.

It is with much regret and great sadness that we report the passing of our wonderful and much loved stallion, Deveron Duvall. His entire life was spent in our care, and so leaves a huge gap in our lives. He was put to sleep following a severe colic attack, unfortunately nothing could be done for him, despite having three vets on the property at the time. Duvall was always a very healthy and vital stallion, and it was only in his later years, when his son, Di Maggio, moved in on his territory, that he found life rather difficult, especially during the breeding season.

Duvall leaves behind many fine sons and daughters, but the greatest legacy he left, was the superb temperaments and movement, that so many of them acquired from him. Duvall's story will be told in time, however, for the time being we are still coming to terms with his loss. His passing is the end of an era, lasting 25 years.

Duvall has been laid to rest in a paddock overlooking the Stud.

Rest in Peace Duvall

We'll never forget you.
