Newhaven Virtuoso
Newhaven foundation stallion Virtuoso is a gentleman who spends his time watching over the farm and keeping young stallion Pinjee in line. He had no education when he was growing up and was a real handful when I rescued him at approx 6yrs. These days he is mellow, talkative and social.
Virtuoso was conceived on Newhaven Station, his dam Lakme foaling shortly after being rescued from Peterborough Meatworks. His son Enoch is as talkative as his dad, with his own facebook page to manage his chatter. His new baby daughter Mollie has his kind face (and more bling than she will know what to do with!)
This is what we know about how Virtuoso’s dam Lakme came to Victoria.
