1815 St Leger Winner


OK so you may be wondering why I've posted a pic of Filho Da Puta the 1815 St Leger winner?

Well whilst tracing back the pedigrees of Max our American Paint Horse and Rohan our Welsh section A, I discovered that they both are descendants of this horse. Two very different breeds sharing a common ancestor. Of course there will be others Thoroughbreds and Arabs were crossed with many breeds to make them what they are today. But it was still a very special discovery for me.... nearly 200 years and 20 generations ( coincidentally 20 for both of them) our boys are family.
