Thistle Ridge



 We are going to try and have Grayheart approved Canadian Sport Horse & Canadian Warmblood and would appreciate if anyone who has Grayheart offspring showing would contact us and tell us a bit more.  With Grayheart having had an injury to his back at the start of his riding career we are unable to perform the performance requirements for these registries. To improve our chances of having Grayheart approved on the merit of his offspring the more information we can gather the better our chances of him getting his breeding approval.
Many thanks to Carolyn Reed and Family at Reed Hill Farm for allowing me to obtain this wonderful stallion. http://www.geocities.com/rhftn02/


FUERST GRAYHEART R is a 16.3hh Hanoverian with a commanding presence he has three large beautiful gaits, suspension, very heavy bone, on a big correct rectangular frame. GRAYHEART has many siblings actively competing and winning at Grand Prix level jumping, CDS, USDF, and breed shows. A paddock injury not long after being started has made Grayheart unable to be ridden and shown.
Grayheart proves he himself is a high quality sire through his own offspring's high scores at inspections and breed shows!  GRAYHEART has lifetime breeding approval with both AWR & AWS.

His father, ES Fuerst Gotthard (a.k.a.) "The Titlist", scored and overall 132.24 on his Hanoverian 100 day test. He is also a 5 star stallion with the ISR/Oldenburg registry. Fuerst Gotthard won multiple Grand Prix, World Cup classes and placed in
many more classics with Olympic riders Robert Ridland, Hap Hansen, and Eddie Macken. 

Grayheart's dam, Santa Barbara, is an Elite Hanoverian mare. She is by the international Grand Prix jumper San Fernando. Santa Barbara went on to win some big jumper classes with an amateur rider, including a championship
at Spruce Meadows.

Grayheart's foals consistently score high in conformation and movement. They have higher neck sets, good shoulder angles, beautiful toplines, lots of suspension, good swing and flowing movements, extended free walks, ground covering canters, and will be competitive in not just Jumping, but Dressage, & Eventing.
