Lostock Blue the foundation sire at Lostock Stud arrived in 1988 with the intention of him becoming my hunter. Lostock Blue had a golden temperament and was left entire and the story began.
Lostock is a name that is well recognised in coloured horse circles and also has plain horse connections. Blue has sired HOYS winners and Champions both coloured and plain, numerous winners showjumping and a couple of advanced event horses.
He was a tremendously tough horse and in 12 seasons hunting never missed a day. He is now enjoying a semi retirement being hacked round the welsh hills by a good friend of mine. Maralyn and Sylvester even managed to do a couple of veteran shoes in 2005. His sons, daughters and their progeny now take over the story.
