Description:
Landmark is the sire of many champions. Thistle Ridge Royal Marrely,
Freedom Royal Majestic, Thistle Ridge Royal Merrelly, Thistle Ridge
Royal Highlight, and Weatherhill Ila to name just a few. Landmark was named in
the 2005 contact for the class ‘Proven’. Landmark is
recognized for giving very leggy foals, with the right color, and
most important, a very sweet personality. At the 2004 complete dispersal
sale of Thistle Ridge, Landmark’s progeny under 2 years old
sold for an average of $12,500 CN. A filly foal was sold for $17,000
CN, and a stud foal for $14,000 CN. Landmark made his mark in the
show ring as a foal through 3 years of age. He came back in the showring in 2004 after the dispersal sale at the age of 8. He went on to
be the Senior Champion at the Quebec Provincial show. His last appearance was in 2007 at the Quebec provincial show, where he grabbed the Supreme Championship. At Freedom
Acres, we are honored to be the home of this true Champion. Hopefully,
Landmark’s progeny will continue his legacy. More

Birth date: September 6th, 2004 Parents: Hillmoor Ballad x Thistle Ridge Agryll Molly Description: ‘Exception’ was born in September 2004. Losing his mother on the second day of his life, he has not yet caught up with other horses of his age. However, we honestly believe that he has the nicest bottom of any horse we have ever had. He should mature big enough to be a solid breeding horse. We will not use ‘Exception’ until he is at least 3 years old. We called him exception first, because he has a white ‘E’ on the right side of his rump, and second, because he is an exception to still be alive after having gone through so much difficulty after birth. His sire, ‘Hillmoor Ballad’, is a last son of the well-known daughter of ‘Ayton Perfection’, ‘Stainsby Blossom’. ‘Ballad’ was sired by ‘Hillmoor Lucky Shot’, a ‘Greendykes Lucky Shot’ son. ‘Exception’s’ dam is ‘Thistle Ridge Argyll Molly’, and his grand dam is ‘Whinhill Crystal'. ‘Exception’ has the pedigree to breed top quality Clydesdales. ‘Exception’ is also bred from great moving horses. ‘Hillmoor Ballad’ is a great hitch horse, and there is no doubt about ‘Molly’s’ ability to move. People who have had the chance to see Molly, either in a line class or in a hitch, know that she was an amazing mare. More info |
