Milestone Pride, anybody know about this stallion?

[cundlegreen]

I've just bought a horse whose damsire is Milestone Pride. I don't think that there are any photos of him, but can anybody, particularly the irish breeders tell me anything about him and his offspring. Did he throw show jumpers or eventers?

He died (I assume) in the mid-1990s - judging by the fact that his youngest progeny registered with IDHS(GB) were born in 1995 - he had a total of 122 registered progeny with IDHS(GB). He stood in Dyfed with Mr. N. Evans, although he was bred in Ireland. He was a grey, 17.1 by Ireland's Pride (by King of Diamonds) out of a mare by Milestone.

He has one Class 1 (RID) son standing in the UK - Touch of Pride - also owned by Mr. Evans who is now in Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire. He also had quite a few progeny registered with SHGB - not sure how many were over-stamped from IDHS(GB) - see http://www.sporthorsegb.co.uk/horse.aspx?id=108213

i cant recall everything i was told but why not try contacting the owner, Georgene, of Tredean Irish Lintaugh as she told me quite a bit about Milestone Pride a few years ago.
