« News Round up 2009 »

In 2004 when Maggie Pearlstine's mare Petite Ibnr produced a bay colt foal to our much-loved thoroughbred stallion Honeybrook Siren, we didn't realize at the time the significance this colt would have on the breeding industry. His mother Petite Ibnr, full sister to winning steeplechaser Carrig House by the leading National Hunt sire Phardante, little did we know within a year Honeybrook Siren would be dead, potentially taking with him his influential Cruise Missile bloodlines. The big bay colt was now a yearling and was turning more and more into his father, it was then we realized he was the only entire thoroughbred son of the late Honeybrook Siren and we knew if he had half the talent and ability as a sire as his father he would become a very popular Sports Horse Sire.

He was given time to mature living a fairytale lifestyle out in the herd of colts under the watchful eye of Joan Parker at Smithie Bridge Farm, only coming home through the winter months and then returning to live out in the lush grass and sunshine with a gelding companion. We are convinced this has attributed to his fabulous attitude and has allowed him to mature slowly without becoming bored stood in a stable and has allowed him to socialize with other horses growing up a kind and well mannered horse.

He was broken and ridden away around the farm Autumn 2007 and has returned to work showing a fabulous attitude unfazed by fences, water, ditches and heavy traffic-having hacked out alongside the A59.

In this his first season at stud we have had countless phone calls from breeders all over the country wishing to utilize his successful bloodlines. He is registered with Weatherby's GSB as a stallion, but with the new rulings that came in earlier this year stating stallions registered from 2008 onwards would not be issued covering certificates for AI as stock produced by AI are not eligible to race under rules or be registered with Weatherby's. Because of his age it would not be fair to send him for grading with the Sports Horse as he does not yet have the competition career to back him up. He will be produced as a young Event horse in 2008.

As he has such excellent conformation, temperament and movement we saw the opportunity to licence him with the National Pony Society, which has a separate section for thoroughbred stallions, he was rigorously vetted and assessed and we were delighted when he passed with flying colours! Now clients across the country are able to use him via AI and register their foals with their chosen society. He is however still available via Natural service at End House Stud.
