This little pocket rocket joined the team to fill in the gap while Shooter was rehabilitating from injury....and he has not disappointed. He is now available to take his next rider through the grades.
Eddie's Sire SOS is a stunning black and white pinto warmblood imported from Germany. Shooter’s grandsire Semper (Samber & Sandro bloodlines) is the sire of the USA’s very successful dressage sire Sempatico M. Samber needs no introduction and is said to be arguably the most influential and far reaching of all pinto warmblood sires. In sport Samber was successful in both disciplines; he showjumped up to 1.30m and competed successfully at Advanced dressage. Sandro, is also the grandsire of Sandro Hit. Sandro’s son – Sandro Song and has a total of 36 approved sons, 308 approved mares, 27 states premium mares. It is through Sandro that the blood of Sacramento Song xx lives on and daily grows more influential in both dressage and jumping breeding. Sacramento Song was a classically bred English Thoroughbred who stood in Holstein from 1973 to his early death in 1979. He is described in Dr Dietrich Rossow’s Stallion Book of the Holsteiner Warmblood Breed as: “A classically bred English Thoroughbred with beautiful, smoothly harmonious topline. Beautiful head, rather low set on neck, impressive shoulder with good coupling to the croup. Well muscled, strong legs and feet, sufficient gaits. Tremendous jumping ability, very tight with front end and good with knees.”
SOS’s dam, Pandorra is by Prinz Oldenburg was the most famous son of Picasso and is arguably one of Europe’s finest showjumping sires. Pandorra also carries the strong eventing talents of Ramiro Z and the remarkable dressage sire Pik Bube I.
Eddie's dam is the mare Wildfluer who is a Winterkoenig/Kilof McOhl mare. Both of these stallions were some of the first imported warmbloods to the Australian market and make an appearance in a lot of warmblood pedigrees.
Ed has been a super fun horse to have around. He is easy to catch, shoe, float, clip and is happy to stand at the float all day. He is the same at a competition as he is at home. He has very low mileage on his legs and has gone from EvA65 through to EvA95 in one season and it has been a breeze.
He would be a great horse for a junior or someone wanting to do ARC on him as he is fun and super, super reliable.
