Billy's Punch's half-sister Havre Du Grace won the 2011 Eclipse Award Horse of the Year, as well as winning 2011 Older Mare of the Year.    She is one of the foals from Saint Liam's (2005 Eclipse Horse of the Year) first and only foal crop.   One-hundred fifteen mares were in foal to Saint Liam before his death.  Billy is Saint Liam's very first foal and is standing at stud for the 2012 breeding season.  Check him out.


Welcome to Thistle Ridge

We are a small Thoroughbred and Sport Horse breeding operation located outside of  the town of Durham, Ontario, in beautiful Grey County.

Our stallions have been selected for their success on the racetrack, outstanding performance pedigrees, intelligence, ease of handling, and breeding suitability for performance.

The broodmares of Thistle Ridge have also been selected with the utmost importance placed on conformation, attitude, trainability, and potential for producing performance offspring.

Our goal is to provide you the rider with an athletic horse with exceptional trainability.
