Indian Ridge

Postby Roger » Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:09 pm

Do any of you know how tall and how heavy Indian Ridge was. Kind of an interesting stallion, he was a pure sprinter and could sire good ones up to a mile. We have one of his sons here in Texas "Ben's Ridge" and he throws a very uniform baby that looks like both Indian Ridge and Ben.

I worked with Indian Ridge, he was probably 16 hands or a touch taller with medium bone.

TF: a lengthy good guarted colt, good walker, quick actioned galloper. He would have made a top class miler had he learnt to settle. He as 16.3 hands just like his daddy.

He was almost always in the top ten of the stallions. He is still a good broodmare sire. He is free of ND blood.

Thanks guys, were his get normal sized, small, or larger than average? Does the picture of him on the data base do him justice?

Roger, would love to see pictures of Ben's Ridge. I also stand a son of Indian Ridge. There are a couple of pictures of Legal Jousting foals on my webpage Kingsgate Stud

His offspring were all over the board in size. Ridgewood Ben was huge, yet others I saw were of normal height. The picture on the database is the same one the INS used of him. His right front looks strange because of a fungal infection he got from an allergy. He was subsequently only stabled on shredded newspaper and shown with a blue wrap on that leg.
