He left us quality foals with two of his sons Carlung Ebony & Carlung Findlay licenced stallions and his bloodlines carried on here at Carlung through his grandson Carlung Jed.
An exceptionally free moving pony with a tremendous temperament he was quite happy to carry a child or an adult and is sadly missed.
