Congress Champion sire, Machine Made (Hershel) has had four very successful breeding seasons, thanks to Milt Alderman, Kim Dean and Rick McDonald. His first foal crop are two year-olds and the up-and-coming sire has celebrated many futurity winners as well as a 2014 Congress Champion. At this year’s Congress, Justa Machine, by Machine Made, won the Two Year Old Western Pleasure Stakes Limited division with Wade Black for owner Cheryl Mullikin.
Machine Made Moves to Washington & Offers Breeding Special
“He is without a doubt passing his greatness on to his foals,” says owner, Cory Seebach, along with his wife, Candice Hall. “Spending six months of the year in the breeding barn and not being able to see him regularly has been difficult for us. So, after much thought, we’ve decided to keep him closer to home where he can be kept in show shape with multiple AQHA World Champion western riding trainer, Kristy McCann.”
During the 2015 breeding season, Machine Made will stand at long-time friend and stallion promoter, Cindy McCraw’s Riverside Ranch located in Sultan, Washington.
“Cindy can share her extensive knowledge to help mare owners. As a stallion owner herself, Cindy is an extremely experienced hands on breeder with 20 plus years in the Quarter Horse industry,” Seebach states. “This is a very exciting move for us, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds as he leaves his mark on the breeding industry.”
New breeding manager, Cindy McCraw (pictured left) told us that she is absolutely elated to welcome “Hershel” to the Riverside Ranch family.
“I have been a close follower of this stallion and his career for years, and I love his conformation, movement, personality and baby doll face,” McCraw says. “When this opportunity was presented to me by Dr. Cory Seebach and Dr. CandiceHall, it was an instant yes. Then, when Candice showed her pretty palomino sired by Machine Made and won the championship in Oregon, I was very taken by the mark of the sire. I truly believe that I attracted this special horse to me, and I intend to live this dream of mine with long time friends, Cory and Candice.”
McCraw is happy to offer a one year only reduced stud fee of $1250. Please do not hesitate to call Cindy at 817-304-0800 to visit about other discounts.
Machine Made will be shown at only a few select shows with only minor adjustments made to his shipping dates. Please visit www.riversideranch.com where you will find a mare owner friendly contract. The Machine Made breeding information will be up soon.
