Bustler Mare Horse Pedigree

The GSB does not record the pedigree of this mare, traditionally foundation mare of Family 8. However, Cuthbert Routh in his stud book (1716-1752) states that his horse, [Routh's] Surley (1720), was purchased from Mr. Hutton in April of 1725, at that time recording the colt's pedigree: "gott by [Hutton's] Surley, which Horse was gott by his Gray Barb, his dam by ye Royall Colt, her dam by Byrley Turk, her dam by Bustler, her dam by a Barb, and her dam by Bay Dodsworth.

This extends the pedigree of this Bustler Mare back two further generations, the known Foundation Mare of Family 8 therefore being a mare by Bay Dodsworth (probably the same horse as Dodsworth)

This Bustler Mare is therefore 3rd dam of [Hutton's] Surley, the pedigree for which horse is incorrect in the GSB. [Hutton's] Surley, and probably his sister Bowes, belong to Family 8.
