Sea Crest RID

1979-2007

Irish Draught Stallion

Grade A Show Jumper

Owned by Hartwell Stud, County Kildare, Ireland

We were fortunate to travel to Ireland and meet Sea Crest in 2004, and believe he was the perfect example of an Irish Draught horse. He combined excellent quality bone and substance with correct conformation, and it showed through in his incredible jumping ability and movement.

Sea Crest RID is the sire or grandsire of countless showjumping and eventing superstars that have competed at the International and Olympic levels for riders of many nations. His most famous progeny were the Olympic show jumping stallion Cruising and Olympic Eventing mare Lenamore. Sea Crest RID is well known as a producer of athletes for serious competitors, and we are lucky to have his blood represented in our breeding program.
