I also came across references to a Bradbury Cigar. I found a site here that mentioned he was an October Moon Acres horse. A search for that site list yielded nothing.
It seems chestnut is also passed down through a model horse called The Queen, by Scotland Time. The Queen *seems* to have been owned by DragonStar Stables. Searching that name doesn't yield much except a lot of link saying "bred by DragonStar Stables". I finally found an archived Model Horse blab forum that said Aspen Hill Arabians and DragonStar Stables drafts were owned by the same person, and the rest of the horses are under Zodiac Farms. This site is here, with the explanation that due to a site with a similar name (probably Dragonstar Farms), the draft and ponies were split into two groups, so that now the drafts fall under the name Brandybuck Hollows Drafts. However, none of the older horses, such as The Queen or Scotland Time, can be found on that list, although there is a younger mare, Destiny Queen (also chestnut) whose dam is The Queen.
So, if a horse is no longer on someone's list, do you think they'd accept breeding requests from it? Is it rude to even ask?
Scotland Time seems to have been bred by October Moon Acres, a dead end, as I mentioned before.
What luck! A search for Scotland Time yielding a page from WMHS here. There is Heretic, who I saw in a pedigree earlier. He's a bay. Not helpful.
However, I have now settled on using two DragonStar horses to finish off my chestnut clydesdales.
What a crazy day!
