Powderfinger R is a very unusual youngster with a number of strings to his bow. He is a tall youngster with great balance and natural suppleness, paces to burn and a very watchful mind that is not easily flustered. He is in actual fact very, very quiet.
Powderfinger R is by Promise R, who few people know about. Promise R is a young stallion schooling with Heath Ryan and on his sire’s side he carries the Silvano N blood. Silvano N was the anchorman for the Dutch dressage team at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Silvano N actually started his life as a showjumper and was talented and successful at a high level before specialising in dressage.
On the dam line of Promise R is Flemmingh. Flemmingh is very famous in Holland for starting out as a jumping sire and then becoming better known as a dressage sire after producing Grand Prix dressage horses such as Krack C (Anky van Grunsven) and Ling (Edward Gal).
On Powderfinger R’s dam line is Song R who is by Sanction. Sanction is the sire of Flame who with Heath Ryan won numerous major three-day events including the Adelaide event, the only 4-star event in the southern hemisphere. It is interesting to note that Sanction is out of Sasha who is by Sir Dane. Sir Dane was also the sire of Stirling Shade who with Heath Ryan in the saddle was twice the Australian three-day event champion.
Powderfinger R is going to jump! – is going to do dressage!
