Welcome to Taliesin Thoroughbreds, a division of Celtic Song Stables. Here you will find our stallion roster. We are proud to be able to stand both American & foreign born stallions of both racing & sporting types. Stallions are listed in order of age, senior to junior. Those that are currently BSO's, will eventually have model bodies as I find ones I believe will represent what I "see" when I look at them in my mind. LFC's on pensioned stallions can be extended on permission, as long as you don't go over his 25th birthday :) I hope you will find one of these handsome guys to your liking!
