Competition Stallions

Description

Churchill III is the newest stallion to The Gemini Stud and offers breeders of Event Horses the very best of both Show Jumping and dressage breeding. With International Eventing scores consistently being in their early 20’s Churchill III allows breeders of event horses to produce young horses whom excel in both Show Jumping and dressage breeding.

Churchill’s III grand sire is Christian-25 who represented Team GBR Show Jumping in 2018 and has Show Jumped successfully at 1.60m. Churchill III has inherited his grand sire’s exceptional bascule over a fence and is bold and brave, this was well noted at his grading in 2020.

Weltmusik the dam of Churchill III has already produced 3 separate winning event horses, two graded stallions and an Advanced Eventer in The Classic Composer ridden by Harry Meade in 2020. Weltmusik is a Hanoverian Elite Graded broodmare and she has previously held the title of the highest ranked broodmare for Dressage in Great Britain. Weltmusik’s first foal scored a perfect ten for type at The Futurity and was overall 2 year old National Champion across all disciplines in 2007. Weltmusik’s dressage breeding provides her son Churchill III with exceptional movement and the right foundation for a truly dual-purpose sire.

With International Event horses Cillnabradden Evo and Charly Van Ter Heiden whom have a significant percentage of dressage breeding but are also successful CCI4* and CCI5* event horses Churchill III provides the right mix of jumping and movement to breed International event horses pursuing increasing low finishing scores.

The Advanced Eventer The Classic Composer who is Churchill III’s maternal brother was ridden by Harry Meade in the 2020 event season. Harry and The Classic Composer had no cross country penalties throughout the entire season and their average dressage score across the entire season was in the 20’s.
It will be Churchill III’s first season at Stud in 2021 and so mare owners are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
