Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre
“Warrenbri Romeo, of Warrenbri Stock Horse Stud, sending his Sons of the Southern Cross to the World”
The Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame is proud to announce they will be hosting a special night at the Cattleman’s Bar & Grill on the 1st of August 2009 to honour the Legendary Stock Horse, Warrenbri Romeo, and the sending of his ‘Sons of the Southern Cross to the World.’
Warrenbri Romeo was bred by the late Peter Knight, and although they have both gone to rest, they have both become legends and proved inspiration to breeders throughout the Stock Horse world. The Romeo horses have proved to be outstanding campdrafters, with a great turn of speed, they naturally rated their cattle well. It is an incredible fact that in 1990 at the Warwick Gold Cup, seven of the fifteen finalists were sired by Warrenbri Romeo.
Today the tradition continues as Simon Knight presents Warrenbri Stallions of Warrenbri Stock Horse Stud, all individually bred for different equestrian disciplines. In partnership with Guy McLean and in conjunction with HorseTV, The Sons of the Southern Cross will be entertaining crowds leading up to the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky, showcasing "our breed for every need".
Whilst abroad, Simon Knight has been generous enough to loan the Bronze Statue of Warrenbri Romeo, sculpted by the late Eddie Hackman to the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame where the legends story will be told, while his progeny is taken to the world.
The night promises to be most memorable, with three of the four Warrenbri Stallions to be present in horse with Guy McLean, and with the must anticipated handover of the Bronze Statue of Warrenbri Romeo from Simon Knight to the Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame. Let’s not forget, 1st August is the ‘Horse Birthday.’ The most important day of the year in any horses mind!
