Retiring to stud in 2015, Trust in a Gust continued to make his mark on the industry by passing on his remarkable traits to his progeny who have enjoyed a purple patch in recent years.

Adam Sangster expressed his heartfelt condolences on the loss of Trusty. "Trust in a Gust was a true champion in every sense of the word.

We are immensely proud to have bred such a remarkable stallion at Swettenham Stud with his dam, Subtle Breeze, still playing her part as a nanny on the farm."

Trust In A Gust also possessed an incredible temperament with an amazing giving, kind nature predisposing him to be resolutely loved and a farm favourite. He will be very much missed by all
