Indian Ridge (22 March 1985 – 17 October 2006) was an Irish-bred British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He showed promising but unexceptional form as a two-year-old in 1987 when he won twice from four starts in minor races. He established himself as a high-class performer by winning the Jersey Stakes on his three-year-old debut but was well beaten in his three remaining races that year. He reached his peak when dropped to sprint distances in the spring and early summer of 1989, winning the Duke of York Stakes before taking the King's Stand Stakes on his penultimate appearance. After his retirement from racing he became a breeding stallion. Indian Ridge and his male offspring have been described as having probably the best chance of maintaining the Byerley Turk sire-line. Indian Ridge was a chestnut horse with a narrow white blaze bred at the Broadfield Stud in County Kildare, Ireland by Bill and Averil Whitehead. As a yearling he was put up for auction and sold for 12,000 Irish guineas, entering the ownership of Anne Coughlan. He was sent into training with David Elsworth at Whitsbury in Hampshire. He was sired by Ahonoora a sprinter, whose other offspring included Dr Devious, Park Appeal, Don't Forget Me and Park Express.
