Billy R

Billy R is a full sister to superstar Grand Prix winner Centaur who, when ridden by Anne Serrao, won both the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Freestyle at 2004 CDI-W in Sydney. Billy R’s sire is Copernicus (imp) who in hindsight was before his time and not properly utilised by the Australian breeding fraternity. Billy R’s dam is Feuerlillie by Zwion (imp). Billy R has been an amazing broodmare for the Ryans. She is the dam of horses such as Jigsaw R. Jigsaw R has the most amazing splash of white, four white stockings and a blaze. Jigsaw R is being campaigned by Linda Krogh and already this partnership is winning at medium level. Splashing white all over her foals seems to be an unusual trait of Billy R. Billy has a Jive Magic son who has been called Apache and this young four year old is now owned by none other than Ann Serrao. This would be the best fairytale story if Ann and Apache were to make their way back to the top, and Ann is very enthusiastic about Apache. Billy R has two fillies at the Ryans, and they can be viewed on the website in the youngstock section. Mixing Billy R up with Jive Magic genetics does seem to be a fabulous click and we do expect some superstar performers to emerge from this line anytime soon. In Australia it is almost impossible to buy a broodmare for breeding purposes that is a full sister to a Grand Prix dressage horse. For the astute buyer, this is a fabulous opportunity.
