Helden Park Petite is out of Baden Lodge Petite Fleur who herself is by Willowcroft Explorer (who has been the reason that my stud has been so successful)and by Courtland Boy Blue,who was a really lovely boy as well. “Fleur” has had some lovely babies including Petite,and line bred to Explorer to produce progeny such as Helden Park Boy Cupid,Helden Park Envy,Helden Park Elegance, to name a few and her last foal,Helden Park Midnight is by my young stallion Grandeur Applause,black,beautiful head and beautiful movement.He is just a yearling and also fabulous temperament.I am keeping him a colt. I also have an unbroken galloway out of Fleur by Braefoot Park Rosewood who is soon to be broken in to saddle and will be for sale. *****This lovely little mare has now been retired to stud yet again to breed some more lovely babies like herself…Good luck in th future with her breeding.I shall follow her progress in the breeding barn and I am sure that she will be an ongoing success as she was for her previous breeder********
