1976 Haydon Never Doubt

Brown Stallion — 15.1 HH — Foaled 1965 — ASH 59512

Haydon Never Doubt established himself as an outstanding sire of polo and performance horses and his daughters have an enviable record as broodmares. It is a bloodline used widely throughout the Stud and the Haydon’s were so fortunate to stand him, as he was the only son really used by Never In Doubt by Nearco. He has 80 registered progeny and is exerting a big influence on the breed.

He was by the renowned sire Never In Doubt by Nearco whose dam was by Star Kingdom’s sire Stardust, combining Blandford and Phalaris blood as well. Never Doubt’s dam was a beautiful, nearly galloway type thoroughbred mare from an old Australia family going back to Djebel, Fair Trial, Precipitation and Comedy King. His granddam was by Coronation Day the same as sire Romeo.
