This is the story of a remarkable horse. Rannock was an Australian Stock Horse born in 1967.

His name has been under the radar for a long time. Yet this blind-eyed stallion's influence has been incredible, considering the lack of opportunity.

It is also the story of the families involved; families who knew the lines well and wanted to keep them into perpetuity. Perhaps not surprisingly then, the line is gaining new attention, due to its long-standing record of producing smart, good looking, trainable and reliable, traditional stock horses which are a true heritage outcross to most Australian Stock Horse lines today.

In October 2023, Rannock was inducted to the Australian Stock Horse Society's Hall of Fame for his contribution to the breed as a foundation sire.

Time is now full circle to tell his story.
