Knolveston's Battle Cry

We have high hopes for Prince Aragorn and all signs are that we were right to have them. For starters he won the Black Male Championship at the 2021 AOA National Halter Show. His sire Crown Prince is a 2 time Nationals banner winner with 15 Get of Sire championships to his name. Unfortunately, Crown Prince passed away in early 2019 and Aragorn is the last cria born that was sired by him. White Crown Prince has sired black on a few occasions and on one occasion another black son was a Nationals color champion. That half brother to Aragorn was named Fresh Prince. So after the 2021 AOA National Show, Crown Prince has sired two black National Champions! Crown Prince's sire was an outstanding male named Crown Royale and not only did he sire a prepotent male in Crown Prince, but also in a number of other outstanding sons. If you look at all the champion offspring Crown Royale and his sons have produced, then you definitely can tell they are PREPOTENT genetics. We believe Aragorn has a great chance to have that quality, too! That's especially true when one also considers the bottom of Aragorn's pedigree. His dam Ambiance is a daughter of Goldstar and he has 19 Get of Sire championships to his name. Those Get of Sire championships include three wins at Nationals, twice at The Futurity, and once at the Suri Network All Suri Fleece Show. Not only do you have the prepotent genetics found in Ambiance's sire, but you also have her mother who was the daughter of MacGyver. Yes, Ambiance is a Goldstar daughter and a MacGyver granddaughter. And all MacGyver did was win Herdsire Of The Year an astounding 7 times at The Futurity. Wow! That's quite a list of herdsires with outstanding accolades for the offspring they have sired found in Aragorn's pedigree: Crown Prince, Crown Royale, Goldstar, and MacGyver. It's no wonder he has a great Suri phenotype. He has a level back, good bone, great coverage, and that coverage includes a wonderful Suri head style. His fleece is lustrous with a wet, oily look to it. The fleece is fine, dense, and well organized. Time will tell if we are right because we feel this male has all the makings of an outstanding herdsire and we are going to try to have some of his crias on the ground in 2022!
