Bliss comes from the famed
Harlinsdale Farms breeding program. The Harlan family was offered
$150,000 for her as a young mare, but opted to keep her in their
program. We purchased her from the Harlinsdale dispersal sale. She
is directly by
The Revelation, a
strapping big-boned black stallion known for producing top flatshod
horses. The Revelation
gets his keen intelligence and movement from his sire,
Pride's Genius, a
stud as renowned for his keen mind as for his strong flatwalk and
running walk. Pride's Genius
was by Pride of Midnight HF,
who revolutionized the style of the breed and out of the great
Harlinsdale mare, Delight's
Joanna. The
Revelation is out of a direct daughter of
Sun's Delight D, a
son of Midnight Sun
and Wilson Snip's Chance,
who was known for siring fantastic mares.
Bliss was out of a direct
Pride's Gold Coin
daughter. Arguably one of the greatest successes of the Harlinsburg
Breeding Program, Pride's Gold
Coin had a stellar show career. He won the 1976
Two-Year-Old World Grand Championship, the 1977 Three-Year-Old World
Grand Championship, and the 1978 Four-Year-Old World Championship,
and Four-Year-Old World Grand Championship. His prowess as a
breeding stallion is legendary. Pride's Gold Coin has sired winning show horses
in every division and is known as one of the most influential
breeding sires of all times.
Pride's Gold Coin
was by Pride of Midnight HF,
who revolutionized the style of the breed and out of the great
Harlinsdale mare, Delight's
Joanna. Bliss' dam was out of a daughter of
Ebony's Senator by
Ebony Masterpiece.
Bliss foaled a black filly
named Blissful Moment, later changed to You've Got Time by Out On
Parole in 2006 and a buckskin colt,
Heaven's Dusty Traveler,
by Darrahs Handsome Traveller
on 6/23/2020. Sadly, those were the only two foals produced by Bliss
before her death in 2022.
