Rio is the big man on campus at the SK Ranch, we cannot say enough about the foal crops that we raise from Rio year after year. Please come and see for yourself, he is the best-looking buckskin for thousands of miles. His disposition, conformation, athleticism, and intelligence that he passes on to his offspring is world-class. Rio is the only buckskin out of Grays Starlight, he carries legendary traits from his pedigree and passes them on from top to bottom. With a black dappled buckskin coat, four tall white socks and a stripe down his face he is a horse that stands out anywhere he goes. He throws beautiful colts with lots of color and chrome on top of colts that can handle the pressure of virtually any discipline. What we treasure most today about Rio is the versatility of his progeny. We have kept one of his offspring a Stallion (Rios Little Fashion) because we believe so heavily in Rio's ability to produce quality foals. We have acquired breeding straws for Smart Chic Olena as well as an own daughter of Smart Chic Olena. The SK Ranch looks forward to the cross from Rio Starlight and Smart Chic Olena, these superior pedigrees will be our next generation of a super horse.
