Shining
Spirit
16.3hh
Thoroughbred, Dark Brown,
9” Bone, ‘1989’ This
picture portrays what an impressive looking horse Shining Spirit is,
with superb conformation, he has the rare combination of a magnificent
front and backside to match.
Of Special
significance in his breeding, he carries through a line to “Spiritus”,
a remarkable stallion who begot numerous jumpers and race horses of
national acclaim, amongst them “Master Spiritus”, who himself sired
numerous world class three day event horses, including Ginny Elliot’s
“Master Craftsman”, Badminton winner and a team member in the 1992
Olympics at Atlanta. From a family of consistent and durable winners
with speed and stamina in National Hunt bloodlines, he is an important
prospect for race mares, though he has covered mares of all shapes and
sizes from ponies to shires.
Easy to
ride with a bold outlook, always calm and uncomplicated, together with
an enormous athletic jump, his potential seemed unlimited. However, due
to accidental injury, his competitive career was unfortunately cut
short, but this does not in any way impair his abilities as a working
stallion. Covering
is undertaken in hand with experienced handlers, and he is always gentle
with his mares. The mares foal down easily, and to date he has never
thrown a chestnut offspring, despite many ginger wives! Fertility rates
are high. EVA Blood
