Thanks to Adeline Jones who has found out Cotton Lord's breeding (Copper's Dam's Sire):
Cotton Lord was a chestnut, half Quarter Horse, half TB stallion. By Hollywood Cotton ex a mare called The Dame and he was born in 1973. He was bred by The Foxes, who bred Sedgehill Gold, Rival’s sire. They were down in Shaftesbury, Dorset.
This means that Silver Whirlwind only carries 6.25% Quarter Horse making him mostly TB and Arab (the QuarterHorse must have contributed the sensible part of him!!)
Floyd (Regal Whirlwind 08 by Parsons Rasputin x Ginny) . Thanks for the photo's Tanya.

Lambrigg Dollar Girl (now owned by Carol and Mike Wood)foaled this stunning snowcap filly at 3.30am on 14 th April by Skyhawk.
