What breed is he Trifecta?

He is a Thoroughbred.

His sire is Dream Ballad, a non-commercial stallion whose progeny are doing exceptionally well. Dream Ballad is a half brother to Tie The Knot, a champion racehorse trained by the late Guy Walter. The dam is unraced & has not yet had any progeny to race. We have her second & third foals, 2yo & yearling respectively.

I dont have any current foal photos. This is a photo of a photo, the original taken way back in Sept 1984 the very day my beautiful Pagan was born. That's her with her mother, an ex racehorse called "Lady Cynthia" her sire was an Australian Pony stallion called Koorana Chief who was himself sired by one of the most famous Australian Ponies, Llowllyn Silver Chief. I still clearly remember the morning I went up to check on them. I'd gone up sometime around midnight and she hadn't been born and I was up there bright and early the next morning, it was just light so at that time of year maybe around 6am ish and I couldn't believe I could see an extra pair of legs. I called to the mare and she called back and her tiny unnamed foal also mimicked her, in her little foals voice. I went up and patted Cynthia and touched the babys bottom and saw it was a filly, which is what I'd been hoping for and I ran back to the car crying with joy and excitement wanting to tell everyone at home. We had some friends staying the night as well as my sister and I ran in the house yelling that she's born and burst into the guests room thinking it was my sisters room but it was the other guests who were just in the throes of passion and must have been very startled. I just slammed the door and went on yelling till I found who I wanted to tell. :laugh:

Pagan grew into the most beautiful mare with a calm kind temperament and absolutely the most perfect hack. We've been on so many amazing adventures together, and she has shaped my life.

Thanks for sharing Kirislin, Silver Chief was a prepotent sire, he always stamped his mark on his get. Did you breed anymore foals from Lady Cynthia?

My sister did, but only thoroughbreds. She always dreamed of having a champion racehorse. I think she had at least 7 foals including Pagan but I was the only one who crossed her with a pony. I just wanted a beautiful riding horse.
