I was watching the Quainton Stud National Championship qualifier (7 year old class) on RFD-TV this morning (on Direct TV). Phillip Miller wond the class and Will Funnell placed 2nd and 3rd in the class. I saw a mare called U2 Grace that was quite colorful (grey sabino maybe?). I didn't catch the riders name. She was ridden at some point by Ellen Whitaker. I was just wondering if anyone knew what her breeding was. Very pretty mare! Thanks!

I believe this mare was ridden in the class by Daniel McGlynn and is owned by Rowena Gredley

(from eQuestrian.co.uk) KWPN mare by Heartbreaker out of a mare by Voltaire

On the BSJA site it says she's an 8y/o roan mare, about 18.2hh

18.2 :eek: WOW I watched the show also and was curious what her breeding was. I wrote down her name so I could try to look her up (in all my spare time). So...thanks for the info. guys!

She certainly doesn't look to be 18.2 hands unless her rider is the jolly green giant!! :)

I went and looked at the BSJA and it said Grace's height is 193 - must be a typo as that would make her 19HH?
