2017 Silver Black Pinto AMHR - 341021
Ruffino is a stallion with undeniable presence and an elegant, flowing gait that commands attention. He boasts an extremely hooky neck, tippy ears, and a refined look that reflects the strength of his pedigree.
His sire is the late Vermilyea Farms Hershey Sugar Daddy, known for his extraordinary neck—a trait Ruffino proudly carries and will pass on. Going further back, Ruffino’s grandsire is none other than the legendary B&L’s Bar-G’s Rock "E" Hershey Bar, a Congress Grand Champion, Hall of Fame stallion, and Pony of the Year. Hershey Bar was admired for his stunning head, show-stopping presence, and stellar movement. His legacy includes producing: 7 Congress, National Grand & Reserve Grand Champions ~ 40 Congress, National Champions & Reserve Champions
Ruffino’s dam, WHF Captivations Silk Stockings (HOF), adds even more to his potential. She brings a thin, hooky neck, outstanding conformation, and a Hall of Fame record to this already stacked pedigree.
With his eye-catching style, elite movement, and top-tier bloodlines, Ruffino is an exciting addition to our stallion lineup—and one we have high hopes for in both the show ring and the breeding shed.
