CHURCHILL'S SO SARCO

ABOUT

An incredibly balanced and uphill foal out of a Shannondale Sarco mare who is FULL sister to the WEG Selected & CCI5* eventer Woodstock Bennett by the young jump stallion Churchill III ridden by Holly Smith

This athletic filly foal is from a Shannondale Sarco dam that relates her to TWO of the horses selected for the FEI European Championships at Haras Du Pin in France next month.  The first of these being Tom Jackson's 2nd placed Burghley 2022 ride Capels Hollow Drift (Shannondale Sarco ex Lucky Gift) and Piggy March's 2023 Millstreet CCI4*-winner Coolparks Sarco (Shannondale Sarco ex Coolcorran Cool Diamond).  

This filly's dam is FULL siblinig to Woodstock Bennett who was 8th at Pau CCI5* with Ryan Wood, won Bromont CCI4*-L and was selected to represent the Australian Eventing Team at the World Equestrian Games in the USA in 2018.

This filly's dam line also relates her via Bohemond xx to the 2018 Badminton winner Classic Moet and to Kim Severson's multiple Kentucky CCI5* winner Winsome Adante .

Shannondale Sarco is by the legendary Olympic Show Jumper Darco who in all has produced 210 horses that have gone on to jump at 1.60m themselves.  Shannondale Sarco is also the sire of the Tokyo Olympics Eventer MP Imagine If, Ros Canter's 3* event mare Shannondale Nadia, Alex Bragg's 4* eventer Shannondale Aristo, the 4* mare Shannondale Coco, the 4* mare Shannondale Zita, and Shannondale Icarus who was a 4 and 5 year old Event Champion in Ireland.

This filly's sire Churchill III was ridden last year by Team GBR Show Jumper Holly Smith and his colt foal "Churchill's Sarco" which is full sibling to Churchill's So Sarco sold last year to a 2022 Team GBR Eventing Gold Medalliist.

Churchill III's breeding also features Carthago-Z which relates him to Yasmin Ingham's 2022 FEI Eventing World Champion Banzai Du Loir.  

Churchill III is out of the Hanoverian Elite Graded mare Weltmusik who is full sister to the State Premium mare Why Not. Weltmusik has produced the Futurity National Champion across all disciplines Furst Opera, the winning PSG dressage mare Summer Night City, the Advanced Eventer The Classic Composer ridden by Harry Meade, the graded stallion Classic Opera who was a BE Event Winner as a 5 year old and the winning showing mare Geminis Classci Valentine.

Churchill III's sire line is awash with 1.60m jumping breeding and it features Christian-25 who show jumped for Team GBR at 1.60m with Jamie Gornall in 2018.  Christian-25's foals and youngstock have consistently reached high prices at Vechta in Germany with the highest fetching almost 140,000 euros.

This filly will be LIVER CHESTNUT when she loses her foal coat and has inheritefd both her dam and her sire's wonderful temperaments and her uphill poweful canter is like no other!.
