Equestriad Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hi there, I am seeking information and photos of the Stallion Esquire (1979), He was born at Widden Stud AU and travelled to NZ in the early 90's He is the sire of my horse who I had for 14 years till his passing in 2015. I have searched and searched and never found a photo of Esquire which is very saddening as I would love to see what he looked like and learn information about him years ago I wrote to Widden and they replied saying they did not have a photo of him but they sent me by mail glossy photos of Vain which is my horses Grandsire which was the most awesome gesture from them. I bought every Thoroughbred Stallion book I could but no photo was found. I found a bio of Esquire in the New Zealand Register of Thoroughbred Stallions one time but that was all I could find. When looking at horses paired with Esquire on the online stud book the name H J Parslow comes up a lot. Does anyone know this person as they definitely will remember Esquire? Maybe they are associated with Sebas?, Any help at all will be wonderful Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Sebas Farm appears as a purchaser at the recent Weanling/Broodmare Sales...'Manawatu-Whanganui' area, so an enquiry to NZ Thoroughbred Breeders might help if you don't get an answer from this site.

Hesi Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Also message PWJ, if he does not post online. Peter knows most stuff when it comes to thoroughbreds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One lady said she had photos of him but they were in storage then another lady reached out and outright posted photos of Esquire on the thread❤️ I have been searching for his photo for 22 years. I was so overwhelmed crying, I thought I would never see him. They told me what a nice nature he had and how good he was to handle. Today was a good day. still if anyone see's my post here and has stories to tell and photos to share I think I have a bit of an Esquire addiction now and would love to know more😉 thank you for wanting to help🌻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
