Temperament, Talent, Truly Beautiful, Terrific Outcross

Rugged Painted Lark is by the world-famous 2-time Superhorse, Rugged Lark, and out of Prissy Companion, an APHA Palomino/Tobiano mare. Nicknamed "Bruce," after the famous actor Bruce Willis, you'll fall in love with this stallion who is as talented and handsome as his namesake!  Lynn admires the special breed characteristics that Rugged Painted Lark shows for a breeding stallion. The correctness of his conformation spells a true athlete. His color is vibrant and very unique, making him stand out from the crowd. His wide, flat forehead, large dark kind eye, sharp ear, and shallow mouth spell intelligence and trainability-just like his dad Rugged Lark.

Bruce has had limited showing in the roping events by Ted Chancey from Florida and Bobbie Lewis in Texas. He has successfully been shown in Heading, Heeling, Steer Stopping, and Calf Roping. His showing has been limited due to other commitments that Bruce has had. I have needed him to travel to about 15 horse expos per year and take over his brother's, My Royal Lark, bridleless musical performances! We have developed even a more special performance then with his father, Rugged Lark, and his brother. We do one song in the western saddle with reining and dressage movements, then switch to the hunt seat saddle and do dressage and jumping movements without the bridle! It is very unique and we are very proud to showcase the unique abilities of western, dressage, and jumping as well as demonstrate Dressage Principles that apply to all disciplines! Most of all we are very proud to show a happy horse while performing!

Also, to keep Bruce busy he has been a feature horse on our RFDTV shows. We have gotten so many bookings from this and everyone loves him! They especially love his thick, beautiful black and white tail!

I plan to show this horse, as I know that he has the capability to be competitive for the Super Horse at the Paint World Show. I just need two years to get him out in the competition public. He now could compete in the 4 roping events, Trail, Western Riding, Hunter Hack, Pleasure Driving, Utility Driving, Working Cow Horse and Reining! I will keep you in touch as to our show plans.

Bruce also has a great record on producing color! These percentages are based on 34 foals.

Total Color Percentage when crossed with paint mares (tobiano, overo and breeding stock): 71%
