Description


Bay gelding 30/1/12 15.3hh
Sandhills Bounce x Peaches R
On account of Ryans

Bacchus R is a young gelding who has been broken in by a local stockman and then turned away in a Ryans' back paddock. Life is hectic and we have another four youngsters like this all of whom are broken and waiting for us to ride them. I guess we would say we have just been too busy. The bloodlines, however, are perhaps the best in Australia. Sire of Bacchus R Sandhills Bounce is a young stallion started by Craig Barrett, and was sired by Croftlea Artisan a New Zealand stallion that stood one season with Craig and Prue before going to England as a competition stallion for the Northern Hemisphere. Dam of Sandhills Bounce is Sandhills Beetle by Stirling Sprite, sire of Adelaide Hills with Christine Bates and himself by Salute. Salute blood is responsible for Panamera , Adelaide 4* winner with Stuart Tinney; Sandhills Brillaire, Adelaide 4* winner with Craig Barrett; Mystery Whisper, London Olympics. The dam line of Stirling Sprite is Double Cream, sire of Trade Commissioner who with Scott Keach who went to the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Double Cream 3* horses in the 80s and 90s include Benduka, Casson Road (also Seoul Olympics), Roma's Double, and F1 Pharinelli with Emma Mason (Salute/Double Cream cross). On Bacchus R's dam side is Sanction, sire of Flame (Adelaide 4* winner). On Sanction's dam side is Sir Dane, sire of Stirling Shade (3 x Australian 3DE Champion with Heath Ryan). 'Bacchus R can move as per photo and if he doesn't go 3* I will eat my hat.' Heath
