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. 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). He was known as "Bleeding Childers" as he frequently bled from his nose. He was sold by Mr Bartlett of Nutwith Cote, near Masham, Yorkshire.

Stud career

Bartlett's Childers stood in Masham, Yorkshire. Through his success as a stallion he showed breeders that unraced horses were capable of siring top racehorses. He became champion sire in 1742. 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. Marske sired the undefeated racehorse Eclipse. Through Eclipse, his is the dominant sire line of thoroughbreds in modern times.
