Bartlett's Childers (originally known as Young Childers or Bleeding Childers; foaled 1716) was an important Thoroughbred sire in the 18th century.

Background

Bartlett's Childers was foaled in 1716. Bred by Leonard Childers, he was a son of the Darley Arabian and Betty Leedes. He was a full-brother to the undefeated Flying Childers, but was never trained to race.[1] It was once thought that Betty Leedes only produced Flying Childers and a foal that died young, but it is now strongly believed that she did produce another foal by the Darley Arabian (Bartlett's Childers).[2] He was known as "Bleeding Childers" as he frequently bled from his nose.[3] He was sold by Mr Bartlett of Nutwith Cote, near Masham, Yorkshire.[4]

Stud career

Bartlett's Childers stood in Masham, Yorkshire.[5] Through his success as a stallion he showed breeders that unraced horses were capable of siring top racehorses.[6] He became champion sire in 1742.[2] His progeny included Smales's Childers, Grey Childers, Squirt, Coughing Polly and Hartley's Little Mare. Squirt was the sire of Marske and Syphon. Hartley's Little mare was the dam of a number of top horses including Blank (who also became a champion sire) and Shakespear.[3] Marske sired the undefeated racehorse Eclipse. Through Eclipse, his is the dominant sire line of thoroughbreds in modern times.[2]
