Introducing ...Kings Breeze

Little Horse with a BIG STOP!

Kings Breeze and James Pease - Junior Reining Black Hills Stock Show - January 09

Kings Breeze is a 100% foundation bred stallion. This means that there is no thoroughbred in his pedigree after 1940. Upon further inspection of his pedigree, there is no trace of TB as far back as 1915. "Breeze" is 41.41% King P-234, and traces back to King through; Continental King, King of Clubs, Poco Bueno, O'Quinns Rialto, Cuellar, and Royal King. Looking back and calculating blood percentages more, Breeze also carries 13 crosses to Zantanon @ 23.83%, 44 crosses to Traveler @ 16.94%, 22 crosses to Little Joe @ 16.50%, 61 crosses to Sykes Rondo @ 12.285%, Many crosses to Old Billy @ 8.375%, and 16 crosses to Yellow Jacket @ 6.98%. This does not include many of the great mares in the Quarter Horse Association. It is said that you need 4% of a certain sire's blood in order for those traits to be seen in your horse. So what do you choose? Old Billy or Sykes Rondo, he has them both and will perpetuate those genes to your horses. Breeze's dam won the MN cutting horse futurity and went on to win the Central States Cutting futurity. Since then she has been used as a brood mare. His sire has also been used only for breeding. One aspect that some would consider breeding to this stallion is that there is no trace of Bimbo Hank in his pedigree. Here is your chance to breed your mare to the most decorated line of horses in the history of the breed.

King P-234...the Story!
King P-234 Probably no American Quarter Horse is considered a cornerstone of the breed any more than King.

That a horse, born so long before the association that he helped become the largest registry in the world was formed, could have such an impact is testimony to his greatness.

Kings bloodlines trace to some of the truly great pre AQHA quarter horses. Double bred Traveler, as well as single lines to Sykes Rondo, Billy, and Yellow Jacket not only gave him regal parentage, but also combined in that once in a lifetime gene mix that happens to be just right.

The sire of King was a hard-knocking match race horse named Zantanon. Known as the Mexican Man o'War, his sire was a legend himself. He was renowned for his ability to run even under the worst of conditions.

Originally named Buttons by his breeder, Manuel Benavides Volpe of Laredo, Texas, King became royalty when his name was changed to King while owned by Byrne James of Encinal, Texas. Byrne played professional baseball for the New York Giants. The second name was certainly a better fit.

When Jess Hankins bought the colt in 1937 for $800, the folks in Rocksprings thought he had grossly overpaid for King. However, by the time 1940 rolled around and the young stallion had a few foals on the ground, everyone began to realize that Hankins had made a shrewd buy.

Probably no foundation sire put more athletic ability and cow in his offspring. This was evidenced by the popularity of his great sons, such as Poco Bueno, Royal King, Continental King and Power Command.

King died in 1958 at the age of 26. He left a legacy of 658 foals born over 23 crop years, and made an imprint on the Quarter Horse industry that will never be forgotten
