Soda Bradman - Just keeps on giving - His ability to travel with a cow is second to none

Soda Bradman has an outstanding performance record and has a real presence about him. He is a real people's horse and they love to watch him. He is very popular and has won at all levels in many different events, including campdrafting, led, working horse, ASH futurities and challenges.

2000 - 2008
When with the O’Neill’s, Bradman won a challenge, two open drafts, one novice, numerous seconds and placings, scores to 91, cut-outs to 24. A limited showing career due to drafting taking first priority, he’s won working classes and was reserve champion led stallion or colt at Dalby at 3 years of age.

2009
After being purchased as a stud sire by S.Brassington in 2008 he was firstly sent with Huon Smith in between the 2009 breeding. In this period they were very successful and won or placed in many drafts and challenges.

Bradman placed 2nd in Cowra Open and 2nd Cowra Restricted Open with an average score of 90 for the weekend. He finalled in the Stallion Draft at Paradise Lagoons and Gundagai Giddiyup. He ran 3rd at Nimmitabel Open. Other placings were two 2nd places, one 5th place and four other finals.
