SHADOW OAKS TOP BANANA is the 1984 National Grand Champion Senior Stallion and the 1995 Reserve National Champion Get of Sire. He is a Producer of National Grand & Reserve National Grand Champions. Some of his Single Pleasure Driving Get are SAMIS HECKLER, SAMI NIT WIT BANANA BIT,  and SAMIS MR BANANA CHIP.  In Pat Elders Book, OUTSTANDING MINIATURE STALLIONS PAST & PRESENT it states the following: “Sired by Reserve National Grand Champion Senior Stallion, Shadow Oaks Paul Bunyan, Shadow Oaks Top Banana was for many years the smallest National Grand Champion in AMHA history.  Even though he stands only 29” tall, he is Siring winners in the driving arena, as witnessed by the fact that he has sired not only a National Grand Champion Driving Horse in both 1999* and 2000*, but three other offspring who were in the National Top Ten in driving." His owner says this about Top Banana: “His offspring are some of the most highly decorated and muti-talented horses today.  He not only sires quality, movement, and conformation, but an attitude and intelligence next to none.’ ”

* We can only verify what the Championships are for AMHA and we did not find this to be the case, however, we did not verify this with AMHR or any other Associations.  Unless noted otherwise all of the Championships we have mentioned throughout our website are AMHA.  Although we do have SAMI NIT WIT BANANA BIT and SAMIS MR BANANA CHIP listed-see the list of his offsprings to see how they did in 1999 & 2000. 

FACT: As of the end of 2006 SHADOW OAKS TOP BANANA produced for AMHA 1 National Grand Champion, 1 Reserve National Grand Champion, 14 National Champions, 13 Reserve National Champions, and 71 National Top 10 Champions Titles.
