This very exciting young stallion has exceptional eventing bloodlines, sired by Badminton winner Chilli Morning (ridden by William Fox-Pitt), out of the dam of Badminton and Burghley winner, individual European Champion and Olympic Team gold medallist Lordships Graffalo (ridden by Ros Canter). His sire, Chilli Morning, was the first stallion to win Badminton, ridden by William Fox-Pitt in 2015. This partnership also won individual Bronze medals at the European Championships in 2013 and the World Equestrian Games in 2014. Chilli Morning also won Bramham international Horse Trials on three occasions. His progeny are now also reaching top ten placings at 5 star elite level in the sport, with Chilli Knight winning Bicton International Horse Trials in 2021 and Jalapeno III finishing 6th at Badminton in 2023, both ridden by Gemma Stevens. His dam Cornish Queen was bred by Olympic Gold Medallist Bridget Parker, by the proven top eventing sire Rock King, out of the 4 star (now 5 star) Elite broodmare Cornish Faer who was sired by the legendary Ben Faerie. Cornish Faer completed Badminton and Burghley with Bridget’s daughter Katie Burton and was long-listed for the Atlanta Olympics. Cornish Faer’s dam, Tregea, was a maternal half sister to Bridget Parker’s 1972 Olympic Gold medal ride Cornish Gold. Cornish Queen produced two 5 star event horses, Pencos Crown Jewel by Jumbo, and Lordships Graffalo by Grafenstolz, who both finished in the top ten at Badminton in 2023, ridden and produced by Ros Canter. Cornish Queen also produced the Parco daughter, Lordships Parc Royale, produced to 3 star level as a young horse by Ros Canter, before becoming a broodmare. Lordships Parc Royale was graded Head Stud Book by SHB(GB) last year and finished a very creditable third overall to Laura Collett’s lovely two Advanced mares Hester and Bling.This young stallion has very exciting eventing bloodlines, being sired by a Badminton winner (Chilli Morning – ridden by William Fox-Pitt) out of the dam of this year’s Badminton winner and individual European Champion (Lordships Graffalo – ridden by Ros Canter).
