Older Horses for Sale > WASABI LS Older 5+ (5) Older 5+ (5) 1/1 WASABI LS 2019 Chestnut Gelding by WATCHAMACALLIT LS WASABI LS represents our top bloodlines being out of a full blood sister to Tiger Tale LS from both SUPER MOTH and FALCON bloodlines. He is striking with his four white stockings and blaze. Bling! A great all-round prospect that is currently at the breakers. BLOODLINES WASABI's sire WATCHAMACALLIT LS was an outstanding stallion by the stakes winning TB sire WATCHMAN. WATCHAMACALLIT LS is a superb jumping talent - he has an amazing quick action with his front legs keeping them well away from the jump. While extravagant in the air he gives over the jumps, he is still keen and showed no hesitation in the loosejumping. He is bold, careful and really tucks up those knees - all the things you need to produce top horses for eventing and jumping. Remember, he is 3/4 thoroughbred so has that "blood" that the overseas riders have found valuable in their top jumping horses. WATCHMAN was a top racehorse with 10 wins from 1200 to 2450m including 2 Stakes wins & Aus $147,000. He was a very athletic horse with beautiful paces and excellent muscling. His pedigree is impeccable including AGRICOLA (dam sire of Brilliant Invader the sire of WEG Champion Eventer READY TEDDY and is of interest recently as the sire of the dam of NZ’s showjumper of the moment, DELPHI who placed 6th = in the World Cup finals) and to top NZ thoroughbred broodmare sire ONCIDIUM. A real bonus is that his female (bottom) line traces directly back to MAUREEN who was the dam of FURIOSO xx - acknowledged as the most influential TB sire used in warmblood breeding in Europe. His pedigree includes a similar cross of Precipitation as the great Furioso xx but with the added value of Hyperion in the dam line as well. WASABI's dam TIFFANY LS represents a combination of the stud's top performance horses through her sire Tiger Moth LS who was out of a full sister to Super Moth, and her dam Dining Out LS, a full sister to Falcon. She is also a full blood sister to Tiger Tale LS.
