Introducing BULLIO INVICTUS (2022 Stallion)
Half-brother (through his dam) to world-leading stallion Marcon Ios Conquero and multiple world champion Bullio Blue Sue (Haleh), “Buckey” carries a pedigree steeped in greatness.
His name INVICTUS — Latin for Unconquered — reflects both his brother’s legacy and his own remarkable story of survival. As a foal, Buckey nearly died twice. We gave him the nickname “Buckey” because he had “Buckley’s chance” of making it. Yet through sheer grit and resilience, he pulled through — qualities we believe will make him an outstanding sire.
Buckey’s arrival was, in fact, a complete accident. We had been trying to freeze semen from his sire as a young c**t, using Saracen Sukalata as a teaser mare. She hadn’t carried a foal in years… but eleven months later, Buckey arrived. Being older, Sukalata struggled to rear him, and he faced enormous battles with joint ill and severe pneumonia — including having litres of fluid drained from his lungs. Despite months of twice-daily injections, this little c**t never once turned away. He walked up every day to be caught, a living testament to his resilience and gentle nature.
While Buckey won’t compete due to these early health challenges, we believe his greatest contribution will be as a breeding stallion. This year, Bullio Invictus will join our breeding program for the first time and, pending final registrations (yes, still need to register his sire 🤦♂️), he will also be available via frozen semen within Australia.
In more ways than one, we are incredibly lucky to have him.
