Bridget's Irish Princess's sire, Coconut Grove, is not only a grand prix showjumper but also possesses outstanding jumping talent through both his dam and sire. There are seven Thoroughbred Stallions with proven genetic merit for showjumping. Coconut Grove possesses all seven of these bloodlines. Bridget's Irish Princess's dam, Cailín, has bloodlines that include the lineage of the King of Diamonds, RID. King of Diamonds was rated 5th world-wide as leading sire of showjumpers. Bridget's Irish Princess has superb conformation and movement and is an extremely sociable filly. She enjoys being handled, and has an innate trust of humans. She enjoys daily turn-outs in a large grass-jumping-stadium. She has astonished on-lookers by jumping the jumps in the arena entirely on her own initiative, just for the fun of it. High Point Equestrian Center's goal as a breeder is to produce offspring that are superior to their own outstanding parents. In spite of such a lofty goal, we believe we have achieved this with Bridget's Irish Princess.
