Prime Thyme’s most famous sibling is event stallion Viceroy who competed on the British Team, completed Burghley in 2001 and won Blenheim CCI*** in 2004. Prime Thyme herself was unable to compete due to an injury in the paddock as a young horse. Her oldest stock will be 4 years old in 2008.
Prime Thyme was bred by Sue and Lizzie Bunn, who have retained her 3 foals by Last News, Rock King and Unbelievable Darco.
