Does anyone know anything about this stallion. I can't find any info on him anywhere. I think he is a full TB isn't he..?

Does anyone know any of his offspring - which discipline do they compete in..?

Thanks!

Hi We are the very proud owners of Casino Artist by The Artist. He is beautifully marked piebald and an absolute superstar. He is 6 now and has won over £1000 BSJA in the two seasons we have had him.

Hello,
I have got one off his offspring.
I have tried to find out about him, apparntly he has thrown out alot of good jumpers in Ireland.
My little lady has a fantastic jump on her, but i think has been mainly used for breeding as she seems like she has never been schooled in her life.

I would like to see a picture of The Artist if anyone knows anything but it seems know one does haha!

He was a coloured stallion who stood with a man by the name of Willie McDonald in (I think) Tipperary, he wasn't fully passed by the Irish Horse Board but his owner also has stallions that are fully passed so maybe you'd be able to get contact details from them. The Artist died last year so there should be foals due this year from his final crop.

I have a rising 5 yr old skewbald by The Artist who came from Ireland in June and was owned by The Artist's owner who is Padraig Kelly of Caltra, Ballinasloe, Co Galway. (perhaps the Tipperary one is another horse?) I've not found out much but there do certainly seem to be some successful jumping off spring and my chap (fingers crossed!) is turning into a bit of a star.
This is The Artist

WiZ, You're right of course, As soon as I saw the photo I realised that I was mixing him up with The Traveller, another good un reg coloured sire. It was The Traveller who died last year. The Artist has a similar reputation for getting good jumpers. (Note to self, must take medication for bad memory before going on line)

My boy is very similar to to Rachaell's Gelding. Archies is a 16.3hh Chestnut gelding with a white blaze. He was brought over from Ireland being hunted he was very unbalanced, cracking jump but no flat work had been done with him.

I have a 4 yr old 16..2 piebald mare by the Artist, came over from Ireland in 2010 she definately has his markings, she was fantastic to break, very good attitude for work and loves jumping! shes been lightly xc schooled and been to a beginners hunt, was extremely brave and is always curious rather than backing off new situations. Hoping she will make a good eventer:)

I have one of his offspring as well we got him seven weeks ago and he has turned out to be an impressive horse.

Me and my family have been trying to find out information on The Artist himself and all we know is that he died last year and was famous for stud we really do want to see a picture of him however.

Our horse Carlton Artist is turning out to be great at jumping and has a lovely canter i really would like to know more about The Artist and what else he did in the past to see if our young 5 year old has any other talents like his dad.

Hi I have one of his offspring his name is carlton artist and has one heck of a jump on him he's amazing. I've been trying to find out information on the artist for ages and now have, apparently he died last year and every offspring of his has become an amazing show jumper. Carlton artist (aka:artie) is a dark skewbald gelding reaching 15:2-15:3 hh artie has competed in many competitions and not let the rider down we currently haven't owned him for long but has put up a brilliant effort in anything we do with him.

My old boss used to event a lovely skewbald gelding by The Artist, he was then sold but off the top of my head he went intermediate I think. He was an absolutely amazing jumper, very very good front end.
ETA: tell a lie, just looked at his record and he only went novice.

Do we know for sure he has died? I have seem a couple of threads on forums saying he has, but as in this one earlier on they they realise they are are thinking of the wrong horse!!

I have always wanted to get another one by him at some point.

I've got some photos of him on my other computer, I'll try and transfer and load them on here when I get a minute.!
