Gruyere filly 25/08/13 mature 16.1 hh
Wimborne Constable x Mallyon Hills Bertha
On account of Mallyon Hills Warmblood Stud
This filly is extraordinary on so many levels. First, her eye-catching appearance – Whistler is the first horse in Australia to be registered with the AWHA as a gruyere colour. Gruyere is a dilute colour of brown (like buckskin is a dilute of bay). The result is a colour that is a rich mocha colour, with a smokey, hazel eye. This is ideally suited to someone who is after a traditional solid style of colour, but with something very unique. The colour, combined with this filly’s uphill stance, shoulder and wither, over-tracking walk, and elevated trot, will leave no head unturned. This filly is by the upcoming young stallion Wimborne Constable. Constable has very interesting genetics - he is by Contenda, a well-known eventing stallion campaigned by Shane Rose, and out of a Gribaldi mare (sire of Totilas!). Whistler’s dam is by a Jaybee Leuwin stallion. Jaybee Luewin is known as a quiet stallion, having been used as a para-dressage loan horse, with lines tracing back to Leonardo 68. And on the dam line is Harvest Jasmine (bought by Peter and Di Jenkyn) and Argentille Grenadier. Generally, we aim for purpose-bred horses, however, this horse has been bred to do anything or indeed everything!
