Mint Lane is a very handsome individual with few markings, beautiful balance and intelligent head. His family goes back to the foundation mare Kamar. I think he has every licence to be an excellent stallion prospect and would encourage breeders to use him, mostly for his natural talent, courage, handsome looks and foundation family.
