Twist of Fate Eventing 

Breeding qualityConnemaras and TB's with focus on Eventing

Skipping Class

Ginger is our 2004 TB mare by Orientate and out of the Dynaformer mare, Dynamous.  She came to us from the track as a 6 year old and was bred to my stallion, Triple Twist, to produce TF Classic Twist.  She then became my eventing partner and we have been competing since that time, in between having her and my children.  She is a very driven mare who tries her heart out for me and is an athlete in every way possible.  We've done a little bit of everything together and she puts 100% of herself into everything asked of her. She had a lovely colt in 2019 and made her eventing comeback finishing 9th at SPHT in 2020. She currently in foal to Blue Rock Fintan for 2021 and then we will get back to eventing.

Her sire’s dam has produced a successful current 3* eventer, Bishop de Selah. Her sire evented with his AA owner. “Lord was a successful 3 day horse produced successful jumpers. Lord Calando has one of the most impressive pedigrees in modern European breeding. His father, Lord, was one of the foundation sites of the Holsteiner breed with 62 approved sons including Lord Z, Lavallo, Lebus, Lantaan, Lordano and Landos. Lord carried all of the important TB blood (including Ladykiller), which so heavily influenced the breed.  On his maternal side we find Perra, who also sired Carthargo (1996 & 2000 Olympic show jumper).  Perra’s dam Kerrin was also a successful show jumper and her sire was a successful jumper and produced internationally ranked show jumpers.” -allbreedquery
