Fireworks R is a spectacularly bred young colt. The photo in the catalogue is extremely disappointing, however it is all we have and so hopefully it is better than nothing. Fireworks R is really, really quiet, also really really sensible -so much so that he is quite difficult to excite to a point where he is inclined to show off his paces. Fireworks R has amazing paces, quite extraordinary with amazing high knee front leg action, really good hind leg action and a wonderful uphill way of carrying himself. It is a really Dutch way of going, although he has inherited the Florestan I bombproof temperament. This would be the first time we have experienced such a laidback character with such “out there” paces! Fireworks R is by Fiji R who is having enormous success at medium level dressage ridden by young rider Breanna Tillitzki. Breanna will be riding Fiji R at the auction in the stallion display on Saturday and the Masterclass on Sunday. Interestingly, on the dam’s side the Regardez Moi mare Regalia R was offered for sale as a weanling many years ago at the AOS auction in Victoria. Regalia R did surprise everybody in the auction with unexpectedly sensational movement. So much so that I (Heath Ryan) bid on her way past her reserve and bought her back. Who knows where Fireworks R’s movement has come from, there are plenty of amazing genetics there but the thing is who cares, here is a freak mover.
