Celtic Hot Toddy came to OakBriar several years ago and is the first half of our foundation mares. She was bred by Celtic Cross Farms, Ma. Toddy & her bloodlines uphold the outstanding character and qualities that long have been the hallmark of  the Hackney Horse.                          She is from a long line of Hackney greats.

Toddy is by Wentworth Sylvester ( by Marden Goshawk  < a Solitude son out of Nork Merlin >) out of Brook Acres Silvette < a Walton Searchlight daughter out of Fernbank Silver Queen>)  & Reflections Lady Victoria ( by Norfolks Reflection < a Norfolk Spotlight son out of Comets Dainty Lady > ) out of Boulders Lady < a Electra Parader daughter > out of < Footlights Black Satin >)  Toddy has some 5 crosses to Buckley Courage through the Mersey Searchlight lines. She also goes back to Polonius through the careful breeding of the Westfield stock & has passed these qualities to her foals
