Current USA Horse of the Year, Rock N Roll Heaven arrived yesterday at Pepper Tree Farm for his Southern Hemisphere stud duties.

The arrival of this superstar of harness racing had been much anticipated and all at Pepper Tree Farm were keen to welcome him.

“This is the most exciting horse to come to Australia – the first current USA Horse of the Year to do so,” said a very pleased Pepper Tree Farm stud principal, Rob Vandyke.

“He has unbelievable speed, a sensational race record and the most modern bloodlines available in the world today. He is going to have a great impact on Australian harness racing.”

“Being from a wonderful producing Artsplace mare, who was also a very tough race mare, gives Rock N Roll Heaven that added advantage of Artsplace blood which has worked so well here in Australasia.”

Despite his celebrity status the Little Brown Jug winner was very relaxed and easy going, eating up well in his stable overnight before going out for a bit of a romp in his yard today.

Come and see Rock N Roll Heaven at Pepper Tree Farm on Sunday 11 September at our Stallion Parade and Spring Sale day.
