Peaches R

Peaches R represents a product from a rarely seen hidden herd of mares. These youngsters are eventers and are produced by Heath, for Heath! Peaches Rs sire Promise R is an amazing mix of Olympic dressage bloodlines in Silvano N who competed in the Grand Prix dressage at the Sydney 2000 Olympics for Holland and Flemmingh who is the sire of Lingh with Edward Gal and Krack C with Anky van Grunsven. Both Silvano and Flemmingh, however, are pure jumping bred and so although Promise R (Peaches R’s sire) at first glance is a dressage stallion he does jump like a stag with great technique, agility and watchfulness. Song R (Peaches R’s dam) is by Sanction who also sired Flame, who with Heath won most of the major three-day events in Australia including Adelaide 4-star. The dam of Sanction is Sasha who is by Sir Dane. Sir Dane was the sire of Stirling Shade who with Heath in the saddle a long time ago was two-times the Australian three-day event champion.

Peaches R started life as a broodmare simply because she represented such a wonderful collection of eventing genetics. She was broken in as a 5yo mare after having the two foals listed below. She has three nice paces, is careful over fences and shows good technique in the air. In front of a fence Peaches R is quite creative and agile and is very aware of leaving the rails alone. At this early stage we feel Peaches R is going to be a very careful jumper.
