Marfleet Cadet & Harley Blue where both Hackney stallions imported from Hull UK by my grandfather Herbert Clitfton Makepeace THACKERAY who owned and operated "MAKARI STUD" in YOUNG. NSW. together with my father Camden Makepeace THACKERAY. I'm not sure of the breeders name in Hull but he was a well respected gentleman in the Hackney breeders Association of the UK in the 1930-50's. Other horses of note that we imported were Ashley Ramona, Kismet (Dandy) all the above won multiple championship over the years at Sydney Royal Easter Show, Melbourne Royal Show and the Brisbane Exhibition. Boy Blue got away in the Sydney parade and caused some drama before Pop caught him, a day the organizers will never forget as there where several mares on heat in the parade.
