Registered Name: Euphorion
Nickname: Ryan
Age: Two Years (Y8)
Breed: Thoroughbred
Colour & Markings: Chestnut (See Image)
Height: 16.2hh
Gender: Colt
Personality:Ryan is a colt who has it all. Looks, charm, breeding, intelligence, spirit, and so much more. He's the 'Prince' of the other yearlings - the fillies adore him and the colts respect him. He's like a race car, always zooming around the paddock at top speed, skidding around tight corners and when he decides to stop suddenly. He's good to handle, but not necessarily easy. If he feels like it (which is often) he'll put on a show of bucking and rearing and dancing for the ladies. Ryan's not aggressive though. He's never deliberately bitten, kicked or stood on anyone. Under saddle he's like a fireball with legs - always on the go. The moment he feels your heels on his side he's off, so you've got to be really firm and quick to have any hope in staying on his back.
Pedigree: Merry Bay King x Euphoria
Pedigree Comments:Merry Bay King was an excellent turfer, crowned Y3 Horse Of The Year and inducted into the Hall Of Fame the same year. He has sired a number of great racehorses, including Hall Of Fame inductee and Horse of The Year Simply a Flyer, and Triple Crown Champion, Horse of the Year and soon to be Hall Of Fame inductee Impressario.
Euphoria is also Hall of Fame Inductee and daughter of Hall Of Famers True Enough and Bank On Silver. She is half sister to Impressario, Triple Crown Champion and Horse of The Year, and a number of other great racehorses out of Bank On Silver.
