Description

Questing is a lovely quality young mare by Rubick. She is out of a full sister to V.R.C. Oaks winner Bulla Borghese and stands 15.2hh. Her first foal by Starn Turn was a nice first foal with plenty of improvement in him. He was sold at the Australian Easter weanling sale for $20,000. Questing is in foal to the brilliant Acrobat, winner of the Inglis Nursery at his only start. Acrobat ( Fastnet Rock) is out of Hips Don't Lie and closely related to Ennis Hill and Learning to Fly. Questing is from a great family and has her whole life ahead of her. She is easy to handle, good in the crush, easy to catch and for the farrier. She is up to date with her Hendra and Duvaxyn vaccinations.
