Pedigree
Cherry Creek Fonzie Merit, 2002 stallion
Our junior stallion "Merit" is a son of Fonzie (Henryville line), and is out of La Gorgendiere Barreau Nadine, a mare who was sired by L.G. Barreau, a very rare branch of the the Royal bloodline.
Nadine was born at the government breeding program at Deschambault, and was one of the highest selling fillies at the final dispersal sale in 1981.
This mare/sire combination has resulted in Merit having an unusual mixture of very rare bloodlines, with Merit being the last of his dam's line.
Merit isn't just notable bloodline wise. He is a beautiful, athletic stallion, with a very kind, amenable nature. He is very willing and uncomplicated and as such, has been able to be trained, ridden and shown soley by his owner Yvonne.
