Rainbow Houdini: by Rainbow Imagine (Ace) & Grandson of Rainbow Abelene & Rainbow Appache Two (Kingy)

Rainbow Houdini:

Houdini has the very best of Thoughbred bloodlines incorperated in his Pinto sire line, as well as from his thoughbred Dam. Houdini has a great temperment and movement, with a big striding gallop. He has a good jumping technique over a ditch, he's very athletic. Plus he is very intelligent. Dam: Black Alice, by Imperial Guard, from a Sovereign Eagle mare. Black Alice was a good jumper herself and also she produced some good jumping horses that competed with distinction. Imperial Guard is a Thoroughbred that has left some very good race horses as well as jumpers on the race track. Plus he is the sire of Vortex who was owned and ridden by Tim Price who said he was horse of a life time. Rainbow Stud has bred from many Imperial Guard mares to the Stud’s Pinto stallions. All were very successful horses. Rainbow Stud horses have over ninety years of traced breeding, from the 1930‘s.The Stud over many years has strengthened the genes, so that they dominate from generation to generation. Rainbow horses all carry one or two infusions of Salmagundi thoroughbred blood. Salmagundi and Kurdistan took top billing among 20th century Southland thoroughbred sires. Salmagundi sired standouts Excellency, Signal Officer, Prawns and St Bruno also Salmon Spear, Shadamai, Eriskay, Full Play, Wantwood and  of course Florida the dam of Australian racing immortal Tulloch he was the first horse in Australia to win 100,000 pounds and the best horse trained by legendary “TJ” Tommy Smith.  Kurdistan also features in our blood lines, some in double doses. Kurdistan left some notable jumping horses on and off the race track. Some of the best show jumpers can be traced back to Kurdistan, one being Jeep Super Moth. Precipitation also features strongly in our bloodlines, he was considered a very prepotent bloodline for jumping horses in sport horse history. One of Rainbow Appache two (Kingy) daughters carries two infusions of Night Raid blood. This daughter left some very good eventers and also a top endurance horse, with a world listing in the sport. Phar Lap was by Night Raid and he was undoubtably one of the most amazing race horses of all time. Phar Lap won the Melbourne cup in 1930. He was born in Timaru in 1926 from a mare called Entreaty. Phar lap died of colic 5th April 1932 while racing in the USA. We now know he was poisoned. It is stated that his heart is the largest of any Thoroughbred in history. he dominated the racing scene in his time.
