Pluto Sonora II "Snoopy" is from approved Lipizzan breeding stock. His stable name comes from his incessant curiosity which carries on in his foals. Snoopy has had his nose in everything from the time he was born. Snoopy’s late sire, 404 Pluto III Bonita III, was a Grand Prix Lipizzan stallion bred by Tempel Farms. Pluto was trained by Margot Huelke and Erik Herbermann and is pictured in Erik's new book "A Horseman's Notes". His dam, Sonora, is also Tempel Farms breeding stock. Snoopy is from the “2004 Alnok” line on his dam’s side. This line is very rare and is no longer found in Europe.
Snoopy is producing his bone and wonderful, kind and giving personality. His warmth and kindness cause everyone who meets him to fall in love with him. He is also producing his presence which is enhanced by beautiful classic movement and suspension. His foals have great potential as dressage and event prospects.
