Thistledown's Sterling Lennox 
This beautiful rose grey male is our first cria of the Fall 2007 season, born in late October. His sire is the Champion silver grey Sterling Apocalypse, and his dam is Noelani, a maroon full sister to the Champion rose grey McGinnis, who sired both the 2004 AOBA National Champion grey female and the 2005 Futurity Champion grey female. The second female later sold at auction for $80,000. The name Lennox is a Scottish place name and aristocratic Scottish surname, so seemed well suited to this promising rose grey male. Lennox has dense, crimpy, fine, soft rose grey fiber and is very full of himself!

 Awards: Too young to show until 2008. Not for sale!

Lani's awards: Lani was shown once in full fleece halter at the 2006 Buckeye show, placing fourth, but she was by far the youngest in the class, being only 2 weeks over the age limit to show as a yearling.
