KOYUNA SUN SMOKE

Grey Gelding 16.1hh, born 1994

Sire: - McCartney (by Souvenir)           Dam:- Sunhill Twilight (by Illaway)

Advanced Event Horse, Medium Dressage Horse & C Grade Showjumper

	'Thor' was bred by Denise Dawson at Acacia Ridge Stud in conjunction with my mother, Di who had briefly campaigned Thor's dam before injury finished her eventing career. Although a cheeky little horse, Thor has always been a safe, easy ride at least until he began training flying changes where he seems to delight in 'pig-rooting!' Thus far his Eventing career has been plagued by injury, including a major foot injury sustained in the paddock, though he has now successfully completed two 4* competitions so he must be pretty tough! His campaign plans for 2006 will focus on being a back-up horse for his younger, highly talented stablemate, "Koyuna Sun Magic" in the Australian selection trials for this year's World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany.
