Tie was pruchased as a yearling from Dennis & Gina Essink of Carriage Hill Farm in Syracuse NE. We had seen Funquest Cafallero, Tie's sire, at the Grunden Ranch (Gina's parents) outside Curtis, NE, and admired him for his breeding and type. Tie has classic type, with good bone, a nice head and great disposition. We have been extremely happy with the foals out of him and his oldest offspring are being started under saddle with ease. Most of his offspring are also being used for driving and family pleasure, but there is no reason they wouldn't be successful in the showring also. Tie has 10 crosses to Flyhawk in 8 generations.
