​CRYSTAL GOLD LS

2019 Brown mare by CRUSADER LS

CRYSTAL GOLD LS is a beautifully put together mare albeit only 15.1 hands but that didn't stop SUPER MOTH! She has expressive straight movement and a lovely jump with a good kick up behind. She is super quiet and easy to handle - an ideal first horse for someone coming off ponies.

​

CRYSTAL GOLD LS is in light work with 11 year old Izzie Martin on the weekends - that is how quiet in nature she is. She represents excellent value firstly as a horse to ride but eventually with a pedigree proven to produce outstanding showjumpers.  
​

BLOODLINES

Her sire CRUSADER LS is by EUROSPORT CENTAVOS a licensed Hanoverian from the top bloodlines in Germany. His dam DIAMOND INVADER was by legendary thoroughbred sire BRILLIANT INVADER who sired the WEG gold medallist Ready Teddy & more. The mare jumped to 1.30m in young rider classes.
 
DISTELGOLD LS is a full sister to DABOO LS who is the dam of LARINIUM LS - a talented young showjumper ridden by Logan Massie and then his sister Georgia. He jumped at World Cup height before sale to a young rider in NZ.
 
CRYSTAL GOLD LS is out of DISTELGOLD LS, one of the last Distelfink mares. DISTELFINK was unarguably the most influential jumping sire in NZ and was at the top of the sires list for jumping for 14 years in a row. He was also 3rd on the FEI Eventing Sires list at one stage as he produced many top event horses and a number of top dressage horses.  She goes back to the foundation mare DONNA who produced jumpers exported to USA, Japan and the Netherlands. 
 

TABOO, the dam of DISTELGOLD LS was the last foal of DONNA, who produced showjumpers in NZ and overseas. Her NZ offspring included DONATELLO who won the style section as a 6 year old of the National Breeders Show with Philip Steiner. TABOO (by TRIBUNE) was the sister to 3 jumpers sold overseas - THE MINDER (J Cottle) to Japan; DOW JONES LS to California, USA and another young rider horse to Holland.
