Charlie's pedigree boasts of racing-to-jumping royalty.
His pedigree was evaluated by an expert in the area of Thoroughbred pedigrees, and this is what she had to say:
"That's a very, very nice pedigree for sport from top to bottom, starting with Conquistador Cielo. Tail female is especially nice, since his MtDNA traces back to Folle Nuit. Hoist the Flag is also excellent, at least for jumping propensities. He was the sire of the very good chasing sire, Alleged.
Best of all, to my thinking, is On the Sly, a very nice race horse, who died after only a few years at stud. He brings Roi Dagobert, an imported Sicambre son, and sport horse royalty. Sicambre is found in many, many excellent jumpers through his son Sacramento Song, a sire of German Warmbloods, and as damsire of Sea-Bird. Sicambre's dam, Sif, was also the dam of the French TB jumping sire, Soleil Levant, who was the sire of Night and Day, a staple in the SF breed. Roi Dagobert also brings Cranach, who is prominent in the pedigree of Heraldik xx, a great European sport horse sire of the past decade. There is a good bit of the Princequillo x Nasrullah nick in the pedigree, although most of the Nasrullah is actually through Bold Ruler.
The sire was a pure sprinter, but with the bottom that he has, your guy has more than a few proven distance lines.
If he's anywhere as talented as his pedigree suggests, you've found a gem."

So, you see, he has some potential to be a pretty decent jumper (I suspect he will have to skip the Hunter ring all-together). I am taking him to my leg vet next week (hopefully), so we will have to wait an see what the good doctor finds. Fingers crossed that it is only an abscess!
