His sire, Royal Crown, is well-known throughout New Zealand and Australia as a breeder and sire of many champions, including Royal Scotch, Champion at Brisbane; Mount Royal, Champion at Sydney; Gowen Brae, champion at Hawera ; and Heather Brae, the chamion of the Auckland province. The following is Heather Brae's show ring record:—As a two-year-old, Ist and reserve champion, Hawera: Ist and champion, New Plymouth. As a three-year-old, Ist and champion, Hamilton; Ist and champion and winner of a 25 guinea silver cup, at Auckland; Ist and reserve champion Cambridge. As a four-year-old, Ist and reserve champion, Auckland ; 2nd Pukekolie ; Ist and champion, Cambridge. At 5 years of age he was only shown once, when he was awarded the chain pion honours at the Waikato Show at Hamilton. It will be seen that he has a show ring record hard to beat in the Dominion. Heather Brae possesses all the qualities of the modern Clydesdale, namely, plenty of size, beautiful quality, and great action. The services of this tine horse should be in great demand, as he is absolutely one of the best hires at the present time in the North Island. TEBMS : £4 4s for single mares.
