'Bubbles'

Chestnut Filly

Date of Birth: 2nd January 2007

Sire: Aurum Invader (Brilliant Invader)

Dam: Aurum Poppy (McCartney)

Suitable: Eventing, Showjumping

Thistle's dam Aurum Poppy has a serious performance lineage! She is by A grade showjumper McCartney (himself out of an A grade showjumping mare, Valli). Poppy's own dam, Daisy, was a highly talented purpose bred eventer (bred by Steve and Pauline Weir) who succesfully competed at one star level in the days when one star was somewhat more challenging than it seems to be now!  Her sire was Sterling King who succesfully competed at three star level. Daisy is out of a Black Pampas mare, a line which has been highly sought after for jumping horses in Australia. As is often the case, a look back through these pedigrees shows the same sires or dams appearing time and time again, Black Pampas being no surprise here with Bay Ronald and Phalaris popping up. Poppy has been lightly competed prior to stud duties. She shows a sensational jump and excellent above-average movement, frequently on top after the dressage.

Thistle's pedigree is very heavily sprinkled with the big thoroughbred names which appear in many of the World's great jumping horses. Of note, however, the sires Precipitation and Dark Ronald are also very common within the pedigrees of some of the World's top dressage horses! That's why she can move so well!

Thistle shows an elevated forward trot, a very quiet, friendly nature and has the right mix to make a great eventer or showjumper. With her beautiful movement, she could do dressage as well. With Brilliant Invader and McCartney horses winning pretty much EVERYTHING in Australia these days she would make the perfect choice for a serious eventer wanting to bank on the future.
