Stud Farm Program

Nikko is the stallion we have leased for the 09/10 academic year.  Thanks to Dr. Hess for helping the college acquire this stallion

Nikko-TH is a 3 year old Haflinger stallion owned by Mr. Owen Yoder of Bunker Hill Farm in Mt Hope, Ohio. Nikko is being leased to Lake Erie College for the 2009-2010 academic year. Nikko was foaled April 26, 2006 in Millersburg, Ohio . He is sired by Neumeister TOF, out of the 2001 mare Farrah Lou SFF. He was shown at halter quite a lot as a 2 year old, and Nikko was the 2008 National Grand Champion Pleasure Stallion. Quite an accomplishment for a 2 year old! He is a Silver Classified Stallion, the second highest level of classification a Haflinger can achieve next to Gold. Nikko is a proven sire, with 7 mares in foal for the spring of 2010. He is an easy breeder with good quality semen, and will provide live covers as well as artificial insemination with shipped cooled semen. Nikko has a wonderful temperament. He is easy to handle and an eager learner. We are looking forward to having Nikko participate in our reproduction classes and in our breaking-training class as well.

Mr. Yoder is very happy to have Nikko at Lake Erie College, and is looking forward to hearing about Nikko’s activities here at our Equestrian Center!
