Lote 6, Little Twig (IRE)

- Sexo: Mare - Raza: Sire: Good Thyne (USA), Dam: Red Celtic (GB), Damsire: Celtic Cone (GB) - Fecha de nacimiento: 10/04/1993
Little Twig (IRE) is an attractive four-year-old bay mare by the outstanding Order of St George (IRE), one of National Hunt breeding's most influential emerging sires and a source of stamina, toughness and class. Having already shown promise in point-to-point company, she represents an exciting young mare with a strong jumping pedigree and significant scope for development under Rules.
A placed performer from only two point-to-point starts, Little Twig has demonstrated ability at an early stage and remains very much a horse for the future. As a lightly raced mare with her best years ahead of her, she offers an excellent opportunity for an owner seeking a progressive National Hunt prospect.
Her pedigree is packed with black-type jumping talent. She is out of Carabora (FR), a half-sister to the outstanding Nacarat (FR), winner of seven races and over £455,000 in prize money, including the prestigious Grade 1 Totepool Bowl Chase and multiple Graded contests. Nacarat established himself as one of Britain's most durable and consistent staying chasers, competing successfully at the highest level throughout his career.
The family depth continues through her second dam Gerbora (FR), a winner on the Flat and over jumps in France, whose descendants have produced multiple winners both in Britain and France. The pedigree combines proven jumping ability, stamina and longevity—qualities highly sought after in National Hunt racing.
With the influence of Order of St George on the sire side and a maternal line rich in elite jumping performers, Little Twig possesses the credentials to progress through novice hurdles before potentially developing into a staying chasing prospect in the future.
Under the expert care of Nick Schofield Racing, she offers owners the opportunity to become involved with a young mare from one of the most proven National Hunt families in training.
