Posted - 19 May 2010 : 09:50:14 AM In list of Polo Pony Stallions available for service in 1929 Thruster 1123 is standing at stud with Col. Sir H.A. Wernher, K.C.V.O., M.F.H, Thorpe Lubenham Hall, Market Harborough, Leics. No mention of Thruster in 1930, so not at stud that year.

Posted - 18 May 2010 : 10:13:10 PM Hello Sue, Don't know if you got a picture of the chestnut mare Piave, this is from a book published in 1924. No more about her breeding yet.

Posted - 07 May 2010 : 8:23:55 PM Found a couple of mentions on line describing Thruster as Thoroughbred but having no luck in getting further than that.
