BREAUX BRIDGE, LA–OCTOBER 30, 2023–Two-time champion Kvn Corona SI 95, the #2 Leading Second-Crop Sire of Money Earners in 2023, will stand the 2024 season at Robicheaux Ranch in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. His 2024 fee has been set at $5,000.

Owned by Keith Nellesen, Kvn Corona is having a banner year in 2023 with 55 winners, 3 stakes winner with earnings of more than $2 million. Undefeated Grade 1 Ed Burke Million and Grade 2 PCQHRA Breeders' Futurity winner Political Rivalry is his sire's leading money earner this year with $483,060 at 2.

"I was in California looking for stallions and a father-daughter vacation all in one," Robicheaux Ranch manager Ryan Robicheaux said. "I texted Keith Nellesen wishing him good luck with Political Rivalry in the PCQHRA finals, and then happened to run into him when we went to watch the post parade. He had heard I lost Apollitical Blood and Heath Taylor mentioned that I was looking for studs. He asked if I wanted Kvn Corona which left me a bit speechless. Once I found my voice I said 'yes I'm very interested…let's talk after you win this futurity!' And just by a mere gesture, the rest is history!

We are of course excited and appreciative of McColee (Land  & Livestock) for entrusting Robicheaux Ranch to stand Kvn Corona. I would like to thank Butch Wise, Matt Wittman, Monty McNair, and everyone at Lazy E for such a great start with the stallion career. We aim to continue Kvn Corona's success of producing great runners.

My daughter Rhylan must travel with me to recruit more stallions in the future. It appears she just may be my lucky charm," Robicheaux added.
