prestige ( 1903 – after 1923 ) was an undefeated french thoroughbred racehorse and sire .

his opportunities in the following year were limited as his entries in many of the major french races were voided by the death of his breeder , but won all nine of his starts including the prix eugene adam , prix d'hedouville and prix biennal .

he retired with a perfect record of sixteen wins from sixteen starts .

he later became a successful sire of winners .

hi , i was wondering whether anybody on here owns and rides in a prestige saddle ? i bought a brand new prestige meridith jump saddle about 3 months ago , which was fitted . since then her topline has reduced quite considerably , especially where the panels of the saddle sit . i spoke to a master saddler today and as soon as i mentioned my prestige saddle he told me almost every horse he has seen after using a prestige saddle has suffered some kind of muscle wastage along the back due to pressure points along the spine that cant be rectified by pads etc . ( to do with the way plastic tree is moulded . . . . ? ) i am dreading the thought of getting rid of my saddle as i saved up for a long time , but i am more than prepared to get rid of it if it means my horses health and condition will improve . so the reason i am posting this is to hear from owners of prestige saddles , jumping or dressage , to see if they have had any similar problems before i make any decisions . thankyou , i look forward to hearing from you .

until 2004 , the olympic three - day event and the world three - day event championships of the world equestrian games presented eventing in its classic format as a showcase of international team and individual representatives competing for their home country’s honor and prestige , as well as individual achievement . for the 2004 olympic games , a new format was introduced that shortened the cross - country test by deleting the roads and tracks and steeplechase phases . this short format is now the standard for all three - day events .

the tests of this newly organized equestrian competition were patterned after the training and testing of military chargers —precision , elegance , and obedience on the parade ground ; stamina , versatility and courage on marches and in battle ; cross - country jumping ability and endurance in traveling great distances over difficult terrain and formidable obstacles in the relaying of important dispatches ; and jumping ability in the arena to prove the horse’s fitness to remain in service . spread over consecutive days , it was a complete test for the army horse , and in fact only army officers on active duty were allowed to compete in the first olympic three - day event , and they had to be mounted on military chargers .

meadow skipper as a sire ( he was from his first crop ) , most happy fella was generally regarded as running against an inferior crop of horses . this was underlined when the horse of the year in his triumphant three - year - old season went to a canadian - owned seven - year - old trotting mare , fresh yankee . he was not considered a match on the track for albatross and at first , nor as a stallion . within a decade it was a completely different story . oddly , several of his best stud sons were also not necessarily dominant as three - year - old pacing colts , the usual path to instant success .
it is the french , with their musical and literal language , who have provided the term that is most apropos of the essence of the sport . known as the concours complet d’equitation , or “complete equestrian competition , ” this in fact is what the three - day event is : a comprehensive test of all - around horsemanship of the rider and ability of the horse .

because the competition took place over three days , the english coined the descriptive term “three - day event , ” and the sport of eventing became firmly entrenched in the equestrian activities of great britain . the americans adopted the english terminology and developed a general term , “combined training , ” for this activity that is a combination of disciplines and training methods in the development of a usable riding horse .
although this was never proven , the remainder of the bull’s 1994 campaign was nothing if not brilliant . he took eight of ten grade 1 races that year , to be awarded eclipses for champion three year - old ( colt ) and horse of the year . the legendary daily racing form blazed the headline “bullmania sweeps the nation” as holy bull’s 3 year - old campaign came to a close .

by the time donald “ginger” mccain got his hands on the bay gelding , he had won a few one - mile races over the flat before being passed from one training yard to another . the horse who had descended from the great st . simon , and whose name originated from the last three letters of his dam ( mared ) and sire ( quorum ) was never going to amount to much , running in cheap races with modest purses .
punctuated as he was by the love of a grandfather who was gone only a year later , as well as that festering horse gene of mine , it was predictable that by 1990 i had decided to collect original press photos of northern dancer and some of his progeny . what i had in mind was a project : to collect some photos and then mount them in an album , together with a little research on the dancer’s most prominent progeny .
you are so wonderful with the horses , i’m sure that traveling with an epileptic horse must be uncomfortable to say the least ! all of my babies arrived safely and happy , stress free ! i am so lucky to have such a great company , and people like you to transport some of the most precious ‘people ‘ in my family . we have been using you for six years now for all my ash kids . thank you so much again !
caused by neorickettsia risticii ( formerly ehrlichia risticii ) and originally described in 1979 as a sporadic disease affecting horses residing in the eastern united states near the potomac river , potomac horse fever ( phf ) has since been identified in various other geographic locations in the united states and canada . the disease is seasonal , occurring between late spring and early fall in temperate areas , with most cases in july , august and september at the onset of hot weather .
since i began the vault’s rescue fund , $ 1 , 542 . 00 cad has been raised , allowing the vault readers and yours truly to rescue hale , as well as a standardbred gelding and a beautiful blue roan qh mare , in foal , from slaughter . too , donations have been made to our mims and rr refuge . i continue to work to save horses , one horse at a time : this week , it was a granddaughter of secretariat .
saddle fitting and opinions are a nightmare . you could ask 5 different saddlers about a particular make of saddle and quite possibly get a different answer from each ! and the cynic in me will say that sometimes there answer will be swayed by what brands they stock and how well the company have sold the saddle to the saddler . . . . in your position i would get the saddler that sold you the saddle out first to get their assessment on it and then go from there fwiw a friend of mine runs an event yard , and like many yards has a few saddles shared between a number of horses . all their jump saddles are prestige and their horses don ' t have any issues with muscle wastage or any major back problems .
in 1948 captain sandy and bryce won nine races , including the auckland cup . the pair took the north ' s premier race the next year , too , this time from 36 yards behind . it was only natural that bain should take the horse to melbourne for the 1950 inter - dominion series . unfortunately , bryce was taking an enforced ' holiday ' at the time so the winning combination was split . however , freeman holmes proved an able , if only temporary substitute for bryce .
in reality was an excellent sire who would have rated as an above - average runner had he been born in another year : damascus and dr . , fager , his contemporaries , rather bumped him off centre stage . through in reality , the sire line of the legendary man o’ war continues through his progeny and their descendants . sons relaunch , with anticipation and the only horse to have ever won the breeders’ cup classic twice in a row , tiznow , are the best progeny of in reality .
so successful was the little colt with the huge heart that a share in him was bought by windfields , where the minstrel stood most of his short life . sending the colt back to north america ran contrary to the syndicate’s mission , it would seem . however , o’brien counselled the others that the colt was a middle distance horse and not a classic winner . and , although he had sired the british triple crown champion nijinsky , northern dancer was still a comparatively “new face” on the bloodstock scene .
storm cat’s record of great thoroughbreds of both sexes was absolutely stunning during his lifetime . arguably the best of all his progeny was ireland’s giant’s causeway , “the iron horse , ” who gave storm cat a classic runner , one of the few he produced during his stud career . as a sire , giant’s causeway is well on his way to becoming a sire of sires , notably through sons like shamardal and footstepsinthesand . other european runners of classic lines include the aforementioned filly , november snow , and black minnaloushe .
the result was not one , but three , wins in the aintree grand national , arguably the greatest test of any horse’s courage and stamina in the world . his first win came at a time when the grand national was flirting with extinction . it needed a hero and it got one , in the form of a thoroughbred once - destined to run on the flat until he could run no more , and a used car salesman who “also” trained national hunt horses — and saw something quite different in his champion’s eye :
the elegant royal academy ( nijinsky ) , shown here with john magnier’s son , tom and young charlie magnier at coolmore , australia . he was o’brien last purchase at keeneland , after a fierce bidding war with d . wayne lucas , and a horse that did coolmore proud . royal academy won the 1990 bc mile with lester piggott aboard . piggott had retired 12 days earlier , but came back to pilot the coolmore colt for vincent . an exceptional sire , royal academy ranked 11th in the 2012 american broodmare sire list .
it is mentioned in an english exchange that finasseur , the property of si . michel epbrussi , the dual winner of the french durby and grand prix , is the biggest winner in france with £28 , 319 ; val dor , thanks to the eclipse stakes , follows with £15 , 644 ; genial and gouvernant , in ths same stable as val dor , come nest with £12 , 424 and £11 , 623 respectively . clyde , the oaks winner , nets £9420 ; macdonald 11 . , with the prix dv consiel municipal , claims £7034 ; rataplan , the winner of the grand prix de vichy , secures , £6273 . prestige , the crack two year old , has won £6036 for m . vanderbilt ; brienne , £5264 ; the unfortunate jardy , £4806 ; and presto 11 . , the conqueror of pretty polly , £4276 .
the usual practice was to buy colts and fillies who looked like they could run . if they turned out to be decent producers , all the better . it was an orientation shaped by the wealthy in the uk and , to a lesser extent , in the usa . they didn’t need to make serious money with each horse they bought — that was , after all , part of the fun . as for breeding , the overwhelming practice was to exchange seasons with one another . the thoroughbred industry was , essentially , a very exclusive club .
“…like man walking on the moon , we remember precisely where we were and what we were doing at the time . i recall the lump in my throat watching the iron horse coasting to a halt on the backstretch . the audible collective gasp of those packing the grandstand , the terror in the jockey’s eyes , the trembling voice of his trainer , and the tears of his groom are part of most people’s last image of this noble athlete . agonizing hours passed as we waited for positive news and finally it came . holy bull would survive . ”²
doncaster is one of the oldest centres for horse racing in britain , with records of regular race meetings going back to the 16th century . in 1600 there was an attempt to put an end to the races because of the number of ruffians they attracted , but by 1614 failure to do so was acknowledged and a proper racecourse was duly marked out . the doncaster cup , the city’s oldest classic race , was first run on cantley common in 1766 ; by 1776 , the doncaster racecourse as we know it today was set up in its permanent home , the town moor .
impossible as it is to focus on every horse entered at royal ascot , there are several who have become familiar names to racing fans worldwide . keeping our readership and their needs in mind , we have focused on a few of the star - studded cast who will assemble at royal ascot next week . at the time of this writing , the fields were still not quite set and since several of the entries described below remain co - entered in two different races , readers are encouraged to go to the racing post site for royal ascot to check the racing cards early next week : urltoken
and this is no sudden turn of events , or swing of the pendulum , because great adios is the third north island horse in the last five years to win the dominion ' s premier light - harness event . in 1963 cardigan bay beat robin dundee , master alan and oreti ( all minor place - fillers were from south island stables ) , and in 1965 garry dillon led home the three southerners robin dundee , jacobite and gay robin . before cardigan bay ' s turn , there had not been a north island - trained winner for 21 years - that was josedale grattan in 1941 .
