Said to be a British TB, but they aren't always pure blood in sport. Not in the JC database, and the Allbreed pedigree for her is so screwed up that you really can't make any sense of it. I just edited it with info available here.
Sire was the 1949 Blarney Stone by Historic out of Molly Malone. Dam was a Mystery mare named Peggy O'Neil, by Perion out of Westthorpe Peggy. The JC lists Peggy O'Neil but everything except the sire is "no info on file".
Can you come up with anything solid about Gazelle? It's possible she could have had a name change, I suppose, when she went into pony breeding.

More info
Peggy O'Neil is in the Half-Bred book as Perion is only listed as Half bred with the G.S.B. Westhorpe Peggy is a T.B - G.S.B Vol 32,p.948.
Later many of Perion's offspring were registered with the G.S.B.
Gazelle probably was only used for pony and show breeding purposes.

Yes, they do prefer pure blood, but they also had until about the 1940/50's pure arabs registered with the G.S.B, and also AngloArabs. When I worked as a stud groom, part-bred horses with T.B blood were often registered as Non T.B in the Non Thoroughbred Register (NTR), these horses often have their names followered by the roman numerals VII.
The register is known now as Weatherbys N.T.R.
A lot of the horses in the Miss Prior's Half-Bred books, were often crossed back to T.B's and eventually were accepted into the G.S.B. Many of the old National Hunt lines can be found in there too.
Also many Thoroughbred stallions in the U.K were registered in the old days with the Hunter Improvement Society (H.I.S), these horse were crossed with the likes of Irish and Cleveland Bay to produce the hunter, or on the continent the warmblood. This society is now known as Sporthorse (GB), the Irish horses as Irish Sportshorses.
It can be complicated.
Hope this helps.
