About

This stunning gray stallion  is a favorite around the ranch. Bred and raised here on our ranch, he is living up to his sire’s reputation of being good minded, easy to be around and beautiful.  We call him Chunky Monkey as he is stout and very filled out. One of his best attributes is his disposition, we roll up in the pasture, and he comes running to get his scratches and is never hard to handle around a group of mares. His is playing an integral part in the future of Third River Ranch, continuing in our tradition of having great disposition and an impeccable pedigree!
