RF Super Velvet
"Velvet"
1992 black Thoroughbred mare
17.0 hh
(Prince Stanley x Velvet [x Sir Ivor])
(sire & dam can be found on allbreedpedigree.com)
"Velvet" was bred specifially to be a sporthorse, though she has lines to many famous racehorses. She is an incredibly docile mare used lately as a lesson horse for more advanced riders. She's primarily been trained in hunters & showjumping alike, but could do lower level eventing with more training. Or, if the new owner would prefer, she could be retired as a broodmare. She's more than earned it.
Her sire, PRINCE STANLEY, was a mediocre racer with a record of 48-5-6-7 and earnings of over $102,000. He is best known for producing flashy sabino Thoroughbreds, especially black sabinos like himself. Unfortunately, Velvet did not inherit ANY of his white markings, but such is the way with sabino characteristics. PRINCE STANLEY's sire, GLOBE, is a son of SECRETARIAT and a grandson of HAIL TO REASON, both renowned sires of racers.
Her dam, VELVET, is a 1982 mare sired by SIR IVOR, named 1968 Great Britian & Ireland Horse of the Year for his suberb racing abilities. He placed high in a number of important European races with a record of 13-8-3-1. VELVET's dam, SATEEN, is a daughter of ROUND TABLE who won several stakes, including several GI races. He was named US Horse of the Year in 1958 and Champion Turf Horse at ages 3, 4, & 5. He set or equaled a number of track records, then went on to be named Champion Sire of the Year in 1972 in the USA. Talk about a royal pedigree!
Velvet was purchased along with RF WONDERMARE, another black Thoroughbred mare for sale on this board, by Rosebrooke Stables in 2000. I'm not sure how long they were together prior to that time, but they are the best of friends, and I'd like to see them get homed together if at all possible.
