More Background on Dux
Well I received some interesting information on the Sir Dux.
Seems he was bred and born in Argentina, and was rather successful there. I would like to know what his racing name was, and when he was branded.
He was then purchased by a well known Australian but didn’t do well racing in Australia. They discovered he had a talent for jumping, and was then purchased for Adena Williams. It’s my understanding Dux was a special horse to her. Her brother campaigned him though, and he was very ill just before the 1998 WEG, where he almost died. He was sold from there.
The next information, and I don’t have my timeline complete yet, is when he went to the Cheska’s. Then he was leased, and then sold, and I get the impression with his age, he was slowly moved down the ranks abit, until he gets to where he was advertised online.
Anyone able to fill in any more blanks, or able to share any experiences they’ve had with him, I would love to hear from you.
Dux is doing well today. I took off his blanket so he could enjoy the lovely warm afternoon we had. He spent a moment savoring his candy cane and pondering life in the paddock.
