Great to see GG Griffin, a 2017 Shagya-Arabian x Cleveland Bay cross gelding, continues to compete under saddle. Photo is of him competing at a recent 3-Phase event at the Texas Rose Park Horse Trials where he placed 2nd in the Open Tadpole.
Griffin's sire is the Shagya-Arabian stallion Under Milkwood (Tatjanus x Gazal XIX-2 by Paris) aka Woodie.
Woodie has some connections to horses here in USA who have excelled in endurance:
CH Fancy Finesse aka Finesse: 2026 Haggin Cup Winner, placing 10th place with a Junior Rider and placed 5th at the Tevis in 2022 with her breeder Cameron Holzer Gaytko.
Rhett OKS: 2026 Tevis Cup Finisher and winner of the 2026 75-Mile Biltmore Challenge (with Jeremy Reynolds).
Connections:
Finesse's sire *KS Tribute LCR is by Tatjanus who is the sire of Woodie.
Rhett's sire *KS Rubin is by Paris who is the sire of Woodie's dam.
(Woodie is available for breeding here in USA having doses stored in Texas.)
Congrats to all the breeders/owners/riders of the aforementioned horses :-)
Breed your mare to a Shagya-Arabian and enjoy the ride.
