Wild Thing HF

The former ride of both Michael Whitaker and Emily Ward, Wild Rose is a consistent performer at the highest levels of the sport with multiple results at CSI 5* level. With an international record to 1.60m, she is uterine sister to many successful equine athletes, such as; U.S based 1.60m performer Drop Shot – the former Ben Maher ride, also 1.50m mare I Save the Day Z ridden by Italian rider Davide Kainich and to 1.40 jumping mare, Giga Dance – currently being campaigned by the team at Ben Maher Stables. Her young progeny are already making their mark, with her first born 7yo Wild Star HF by Big Star turning heads wherever he goes with Emily Ward – scoring impressive results recently at the Bolesworth International 7yo classes, along with 3rd in the Northcote Stud 7 year old final and now qualified for the Horse of the Year Show Newcomers Final and Foxhunter Masters Final jumping treble clears each time. Wild Rose’s second foal, who is also the full sister to this auction lot, 5 year old mare Wild One HF is jumping double clears in her age classes and looking very special.

With two out of two of her offspring competing successfully, it’s not a bad strike-rate for this mother line! With dozens of his offspring already advancing to the highest levels of the sport, Cornet Obolensky’s record and standing in the showjumping world are almost beyond compare. His results include multiple WorldCup wins, team gold at the European Championships in 2011 and an Olympic appearance at the 2008 Beijing games.
