Sir Gaylord is a staple; and so is The Axe (Al Hattab).

Shirley Heights is the damsire of Ghareeb, who is Dancing Brave/Lyphard on top, and Ghareeb is being used in Ireland as an eventing sire on ISH mares who has had some success. He was sold to Ireland by Louella Stud quite a few years ago.


With regard to Ahonoora I found this horse:

Unless this is a different Augustinius, I seem to recall that he stood at Celle for sport horses. He's a lovely, lovely uphill type of TB and comes from one of the TB lines that is noted for movement--Neckar/Ticino.

On the bottom, not only do you have Ahonoora, but Trouville is also Dollar line. And Pall Mall has quite a few sport horse descendants.

Is this guy a stallion? Did he get Augustinius's conformation? If, does he throw it?

I found out about that horse because of this topic on a German board:
http://www.horse-gate-forum.com/showthr ... zu-widmen-!

This person named Carlos bred that stallion Ridgmont, he writes in the topic. On the allbreed pedigree site it says: He was for 2 years in training with Rudolf Zeilinger working on S-Level-Dressage. After he covered a few TB-mares selected for dressage-breeding(not racing),like the dam of LOVELY CRUSADOR(at stud in Landgestuet Neustadt/Dosse,by LAURIES CRUSADOR),he had to be put down in Austria due to an accident.His offspring showes outstanding movement,as was to be expected
