Angrove Dance Girl has wonderful conformation and 7 1/2" bone. Dancing Girl's winnings include Advanced  Endurance Horse. But she has since hung up her horse shoes and retired to become a brood mare! We are so luck to have found a mare who not only is a outstanding mother and producer of 3 Homozygous foals she is the ONLY Child of a super consistant Showjumper who sold to the USA for one Million pounds.

Ruby has produced coloured Homozygous progeny: Angrove Spotted Dick  in 2007 and Homozygous Angrove Cherry Pie 2008, and Homozygous Angrove Arctic Roll 2009.

In a recent Horse & Hound  news article 25/9/08 about cloning;

Founder of Cryozootech Eric Palmer said "Thoroughbred blood is important to the genetic pool of the modern show jumper breeding, but it is in short supply, since there are few thoroughbred stallions in the top level of show jumping."

Angrove stud are utilising Ruby's Thoroughbred showjumping breeding by crossing her to her sires half brother,Ricco, to produce foals with familial genes that carry the same family traits, either showjumping & more obvious colour! This has produced three homozygous foals for us out of three matings her new baby, a bay and white Homozygous colt has proved this is a very special mare, as she has done it again.
