In the wee hours of April 9th, 1987, on a farm in Rockford, Illinois, a plain bay colt came kicking and screaming into this world. Named Conquackador, after his sire, Quack, a California turf champion, and with Native Dancer, War Admiral and Man O War bloodlines on his mother's side, this plain colored colt seemed destined for track glory. Frequently a handful in the paddock, he earned his battle scars early, included one that nearly severed his right ear tip. At the tender age of 18 months, he went off to Fairmont Park near St. Louis, to learn the ancient and noble art of racing. Like his father before him, this was to be his destiny; he was to continue the family glory.
When college demanded more time of the girl, they switched to dressage, the venerated and ages old training method of cavalry mounts.
Though at a much lower height, Irresistible found a new calling as a warm-up mount for the girl doing the jumpers at 2', preparing her for her rides on the green horses that she now rides for others. This height continued to be a piece of cake, and after only two shows in 2012, Irresistible earned another year end ribbon in the local jumper circuit. While injury has kept him sidelined in 2013, Irresistible looks forward to excitement and new quests in 2014, at the ripe and sassy age of 27. After all, you can't expect a man of adventure and distinction to behave, no matter how long in the tooth he becomes, can you?
