Oakley Seapreme
Oakley is a young Thoroughbred gelding, by Gleneagles out of Dolphin. He will be used as a real example to explain pedigree, anatomy, movement and stable life without turning his individual story into the subject itself.

About
Oakley is a genuine case study for wider Thoroughbred education. Owner-supplied photography and movement footage now support anatomy, movement, pedigree and stable-life learning in the app, while this web profile keeps the core factual reference concise.
Pedigree
A sire is a horse's father and a dam is its mother. Oakley's sire is Gleneagles and his dam is Dolphin. His pedigree includes Galileo and Sea The Stars as grandsires.
Future Academy material will use that real pedigree to explain the terminology and relationships rather than treating pedigree names as a prediction of performance.

The horse as the teaching material
Real detail is more useful than a generic diagram.
Oakley’s own photography and movement footage are used in the mobile Academy to explain anatomy, gait, pedigree and everyday stable life. The aim is not to turn one horse into a rule for every Thoroughbred, but to make the wider subject easier to understand through a genuine example.
