Thoroughbred Stallion for Sale in Ruston, LA
Kid has an incredibly sweet "puppy dog" personality and a great mind. He is currently schooling training level dressage with basic lateral work ( leg yields and shoulders - in, etc) . He has also been well started over fences; he has shown great promise in both areas. He is a very cute mover with a big stride and a big, scopey jump. Kid is easy to handle on the ground and has no stable vices. He is a fairly straightforward ride, and learns very quickly. Kid has the looks, size and athletic ability to go far.
About Ruston, LA
During the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War, word soon reached the young parish near what is now Ruston, that the Vicksburg, Shreveport, and Pacific Railroad would begin to run across north Louisiana, linking the Deep South with the West (the current operator is Kansas City Southern Railway). Robert Edwin Russ, the Lincoln Parish sheriff from 1877–1880, donated 640 acres (2.6 km 2) to the town and this area was eventually known as Ruston (shorthand for Russ town). In 1883, commercial and residential lots were created and sold for $375 apiece; and soon the sawing of lumber and clacking of hammers could be heard throughout the area. As the town began to take shape, new churches, businesses, civic organizations and schools were being established. Cotton farming fueled the economy.
