The Herd Sires of Cedar Creek Farm

Our senior herd sire, LN Redsonne (Sonne), is a 32-inch sorrel, sired by halter and performance winner, LN Redsonnehi. Sonne's dam, LN Raspberry Red, is a beautiful stocky jennet with two National Halter Champion titles. With such an outstanding pedigree, it is obvious why Sonne has fared well showing in both performance and halter classes. Sonne was shown only twice in halter in 1998 and was Grand Champion at Halter both times (ADMS National Donkey and Mule Show, Shelbyville, TN and North Carolina State Fair). At the ADMS Nationals, Sonne placed first in every miniature donkey class entered in 1998 (halter, trail and pleasure driving) and was Reserve High Point Miniature Donkey. In the same show he placed first in the Pleasure Driving-Road Gait class competing against all mammoth and standard donkeys. In 1999, he was High Point Miniature Donkey at the ADMS National Show. Sonne has earned his Versatility Hall of Fame award for his show ring accomplishments. Sonne is proving to be a sire of outstanding foals. Although Sonne has sired a relatively small number of foals, the oldest of which is just 4 years old, he has sired Champion and Grand Champion halter winners, as well as performance winners and Show High Point Award winners. Sonne has been awarded the Merit of Breeding award based on the show ring wins of his foals.

Our junior herdsire, LN Foxbow, is a small (31.5"), stocky, black/brown jack with excellent conformation, bone and lots of presence and style. Foxbow has been shown at halter on a limited basis in Wisconsin, Iowa and North Carolina and has never been out of the ribbons. Foxbow's Grand Champion dam, 30.5" LN Bride's Bouquet, combines Valintino the 50th and Fisher bloodlines. The well-known Muti-Grand Champion Foxworthy (31.5") is Foxbow's sire. The first of Foxbow's foals are already winning in the show ring.

Foxbow has matured into a stocky little jack with a lot of muscle, substance and a presence about him that is hard to miss (photo below taken summer of '05). He has a lovely head with a deep jowl. His straight legs have plenty of bone and he passes these traits on to his foals.
