A little about the breeding:
Olympic Ahorn competed at top International level and consistently placed in World Cups and Grand Prix competitions representing the Netherlands in Nations Cup competitions and was short-listed for the Barcelona Olympics. This earned him the prefix 'Olympic'. Ahorn is descended from one of the famous Holstein Families, no. 242 and is related to Joost, Alcatraz and Locarno. Ahorn's offspring continue the success with a number of progeny competing at International level. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to Dutch Breeding, Ahorn, whose progeny have earned over $1,000,000 in prize money, has been awarded keur status by the KWPN. Ahorn's sire is none other than the world famous preferent stallion Nimmerdor.

Ahorn's dam produced 4 approved stallions and so far 3 international showjumpers. A fantastic producer of broodmares, Ahorn mares are highly valued for their ability to transmit the characteristics of this high-performance jumper (deceased) stallion.

Ahorn's sire Nimmerdor, KWPN Stallion of the Century, was the Netherland's top sire of showjumpers to 1993. He became a Preferant Stallion approved by almost every Sporthorse and Warmblood breed society. He himself was a very Successful International Show-Jumper and sire. Siring over 50 approved sons, numerous competition horses, exceptional broodmares and daughters with great conformation. In breeding has a heredity reliability of 94%.

His dam Ark Angel CS is by the incredible Olympic show jumper Arko III and out of a mare who jumped to 1.40 by the incredible Selle Francais Keur stallion Calvados, who competed at 1.60. She had competed to Novice under the name of Double M Tarko with 124 points before being sold to an amateur home a couple of years ago. Her jumping pedigree is impeccable with Grand Prix and 1.60 jumpers featuring on virtually every line of both her dam and sires pedigree. Arko III represented Great Britain at the 2004 Athens Olympics which tops the lengthy list of outstanding International wins including the richest competition in the world, the Calgary CN Grand Prix 2008.

Arko's earning to date are over 1 million pounds and he was number one horse in Europe for three consecutive years. His breeding is impeccable with both dam and sire being of prodigious talent and bred from a long line of incredible performance ancestry and progenitors of the same.

Angels dam sire Calvados was bred from the best French performance bloodlines. Renowned as a leading sire of show jumpers as well as eventers and dressage horses. A Grand Prix show jumper himself, his sire the Selle Francais Uriel was leading French sire for many years with a breeding index of 211 (the highest figure ever in France). Although he was bred on a limited scale, he has numerous international offspring jumping at Grand Prix level.

This is a mare with a very talented family tree and I can honestly say that not only are there some very big names for this foal to live up to, but this is quite possibly one of the two last foals to be born who will be sired by Ahorn whose semen was stored over thirty years ago!!!

• GFS Tiger Lily is a very beautiful foal with tremendous presence and fantastic movement.
• She is fast, agile and hugely athletic - potential inany sphere - take your pick!
• She has been professionally handled from birth with good manners in hand & a genuine, willing nature

This incredibly pretty filly is an exceptionally athletic, a flashy mover and very fast. She is finer boned and very feminine in appearance but has tremendous presence. She is well handled, mannerly in both the stable and in hand, she is a quick learner, willing and full of personality. We feel that she would be suitable for someone looking for youngster with potential to prove competitive, talented and suitable to aim at young horse classes in time and with the option of suitability to produce for any discipline her new owner chose to pursue, due to her natural ability and versatility. She also possesses the type of expressive, elevated movement and natural balance that would make her an excellent choice for someone to pursue a dressage career with her.

Her sire GFS Illuminati is a young home bred stallion who has been sold to a professional home in Dubai and we very much hope to follow his career.
His sire is also a home bred, we produced his sire to Novice eventing. His dam was a Premium Graded Holsteiner mare and ex show jumper with placings German Kl.L + Kl.M and her breeding was exceptional. She was by Corrado I (Cor de la Bryere/Capitol I x X Landgraf/Caletto)

Corrado combines the blood of the two great Cs – Cor de la Bryère and Capitol. He won the Grand Prix of Leeuwarden in 1993, and were second in the Nations Cup at La Baule. In 1994, Corrado won the World Cup Qualifier at Dortmund and finished third in the Nations Cup at Aachen. He also won the German Championship that year. In 1996, he won the Danish World Cup Qualifier at Aarhus, and the Grand Prix of Neumünster and Kiel. In 1997, Franke and Corrado were third in the Hamburg Grand Prix and fourth in the Grand Prix of Göteborg.
As a sire, Corrado was again, an instant success. His international jumpers were numerous and too many to list; perhaps his most spectacular son is the grey stallion, Clinton, who was individually 4th at the Olympic Games in Athens, and second behind Shutterfly at Aachen in 2005.
Fifteen Corrado sons have been approved for breeding in Holstein and his sons, Corofino I, Coriano, Coronado and Clinton have themselves already produced licensed sons. By the end of 2006, Corrado I recorded with 95 progeny who had jumped at an international level. His maternal G.Grandsires are none other than the legendary Cor de la Bryère and Landgraf.

Described by breeders as a 'gift from heaven', Cor de la Bryère has had an incredible impact on the Holsteiner breed, occurring in more than 70% of Holsteiner pedigrees, and is credited for improving the breed's jumping technique. He also had a huge impact on the Oldenburg breed.

‘Landgraf dominated the breeding scene in Schleswig-Holstein for over ten years. The success of his offspring both in terms of breeding and sport performance led to the demand for the stallion becoming almost insatiable.

Nearly sixty colts by Landgraf I have been licensed for the Holsteiner studbook.

Illuminati's dam, It's Magic was a remarkable mare of both quality and talent. Graded into the Westfalian Head Stud Book, she is by Hogwart the International Grand Prix showjumping stallion and Westfalian Stallion Champion (Concorde/Voltaire/Nimmerdor) This is a stallion of such quality that he is Licensed into the Belgium Warmblood, Holsteiner, KWPN, NRPS (Dutch) and Westfalian Studbooks. She was out of a Cassini/Caletto mare whose pedigree is steeped in International showjumpers.
Before her retirement due to injury and sadly prior to actually fulfilling her huge potential in competition, she jumped successfully to 1.20, with wins to BSJA Foxhunter and Notational winnings of £1153 (There are video's of her competing on our Broodmare Page.

Her paternal G.Sire Concorde was solidly bred to jump on both sides. Aside from his sire, Voltaire, his dam, Flyer, was by the legendary Marco Polo.
Concorde was an international jumper with Jos Lansink. They won the Grand Prix of Nordrhein-Westfalen at Aachen and they were Champion of the Netherlands in 1994. For three years in a row, Concorde was the sire with the most offspring at the World Breeding Championships for Young Jumping Horses. In the year 2001 alone, Concorde produced 17 jumpers who entered Grand Prix ranks.

Her maternal G.Sires were the International breeding stallion Cassini I and Lord Caletto GZ. Cassini was one of the most successful Holstein stallions of all time, sired by Capitol I out of the mare Wisma who is a daughter of Caletto II.
Lord Caletto was a Life Approved Holstein stallion. His International Sports Stallion status made Lord Calletto gz in a class of his own ! He won his 100 day performance test with 145 points in dressage (1st) and 138 points in jumping (1st) Lord Caletto is also one of the few stallions to have received Elite status Grading from the AES awarded by Kees Van Den Oetelaar . He was also graded with the swiss fed and the BWBS . Lord Caletto is also on the GOLD BRITISH SHOWJUMPING ELTE REGISTER OF STALLIONS . He won several times over 2,10m and higher, won six-bars at 1,80-1,90-2,00-2,10m

The dam of this exciting foal is also a home bred! She is out of my all time heart horse Wantasia (Indoctro x Corland/Nimmerdor) and by yet another very special AES Graded home bred GFS Lord of the Dance who was by a remarkable Russian Trakehner x Akhal Teke stallion that I imported as a yearling from Estonia and out of a very special mare who produced three Licenced stallions for me.

Her bloodlines speak for themselves! Her sire is the amazing Keur Preferent stallion, Indoctro, showjumper and progenitor of highly regarded offspring competing in all three major disciplines, but the sire of over 180 competitive showjumpers. Wantasia's dam is by Corland ( son of the inimitable Cor de la Bryere) out of the showjumping International and important sire of champions, Nimmerdor.
Indoctro is a living legend and is among the world's best sires. His offspring achieve successes at the highest level. At the Olympic Games in 2008, three horses by Indoctro attended: VDL Orestus, Don Porfirio and Picolien Zeldenrust. In Holland he is known as VDL Indoctro, while in Germany, following the Holstein naming custom, he is C-Indoctro. By any name he is one of the world’s most successful jumping sires.

Damline - Her dam Vanessa VII also produced two full brothers, C-Indoctro II and the Olympic showjumper, National Guard, ridden by Fahad Al Geaid. Damsire Caletto I is a son of the great Cor De La Bryère, while third sire Calypso was also a foundation Holstein stallion.

Wantasia's damsire, Corland is from the famous Holsteiner Line 104A, which goes directly back to Retsina, a two-time winner of the Hamburg Derby.
Corland had an impressive career under W.J. van der Schans. At the European Championship, Corland proved to all that he belongs in the category ‘the best in the world’. In Nation’s Cup series, he won both qualifiers and had the best results of the Nation’s competition clocking the fastest clear round. In the finals, he was 9th. Additionally, there were the following results: 2nd GP Rotterdam, 4th GP’s Oslo and Den Bosch, 5th GP’s Bordeaux and Maastricht, 6th GP Helsinki, 7th GP’s Zuidlaren, La Baule and Calgary.

• Buckskin

• Under 1
• 16.3 hands

• Beautiful tall, elegant and athletic with a fantastic temperament
• Super bloodlines for eventing or Show jumping
• Well handled, super manners and quick learner

This is an absolutely fantastic buckskin filly who will undoubtedly have the ability to turn an elegant hoof to a variety of equine endeavors with whoever is lucky enough to become her owner, teacher and friend.

She is going to be tall at maturity, I would guess that she will make in excess of 16.2hh, but will retain her exquisite femininity and innate elegance.

GFS Zephyra has a sweet, gentle nature and has demonstrated a lovely temperament during handling sessions, in the stable and out in the paddock.

We have bred several full siblings to this beauty and they have proven their versatility in homes where they are being produced for different disciplines and where they are universally adored for their wonderful attitudes and willingness.

Zephyra has some super eventing breeding on her sire's side, including Rock King and Bohemond. Her dam brings some exceptional show jumping provenance and boasts a mother line that produced the great Quidam de Revel.

This beautiful young horse will be suitable for any discipline. She has obvious natural talent, a top pedigree and moves beautifully, but she would equally suit an amateur home looking for quality, temperament and potential to become a top class all rounder to have a lot of fun with. She really is the sweetest and most genuine character.

Kalindi has a super personality and is going to make a really exciting prospect for someone to produce under saddle as she comes of age. She moves with natural grace and excellent paces in all gaits.

This lovely girl has a great attitude and represents a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for a future partner under saddle who would be capable of attaining exciting results as a future eventing prospect with a lot of glamour and style!

A little about the breeding:
Kitty Malone is sired by the remarkable stallion Ramiro B. He competed at 1.60m level showjumping himself and has sired many outstanding offspring to date who have succeeded in both the eventing and showjumping field. These have included 5* winner Cooley Master Class and Badminton Runner up Cooley SRS among a multitude of top performance and performing progeny including Nations Cup level 1.60 show jumpers and 5* eventers, he was the first horse to be made an ambassador with the BWP studbook due to his phenomenal breeding record.With multiple progeny competing at 4* and 5* level, Ramiro B is undoubtedly a proven sire of top level event horses as well as show jumpers.
Kalindi's damsire, Black Sam Bellamy is the full brother of Galileo and half brother to Sea the Stars and who tasted success as a sire both on the Flat and over jumps. Black Sam Bellamy was a prominent British Jumps stallion, who, as well as being himself winner of the 10 furlong Tattersalls Gold Cup (G1) by 8 lengths and the Gran Premio del Jockey Club (G1) over 1½ miles, Black Sam Bellamy possessed probably the finest pedigree of any NH stallion in the world, being by the 14-time Champion Flat Sire, Sadler’s Wells, out of the Prix de ’Arc de Triomphe (G1) winner and legendary broodmare, Urban Sea (by Miswaki -a stakes-winning son of the leading sire in North America, Mr. Prospector. ).
Black Sam was particularly suited to the production of high-class staying horses, as he consistently transmitted the important qualities of stamina, toughness and determination. “He had an excellent temperament and was always a lovely horse to deal with. His latter years saw him sire some top eventing horses.

GFS Fire and Ice is a uniquely coloured warmblood AES Graded and Licensed stallion with an exceptionally interesting pedigree that combines both rare Danish Knabstrupper, the highly prized Czech Kinsky Warmblood with top performance thoroughbred and the versatile and top temperament of the Irish Connemara. His dam is by the leading sire of event horses Rock King. Himself the sire of the Olympic eventer Rock Model. He also sired four competitors at the 2008 CCI **** at Luhmuhlen.
Rock King was renowned for his fantastic temperament, excellent paces and superb jumping technique. As a four year old Rock King won the Stoneways Potential Showjumper and was in the final twelve for the Young Event Horse Class. From there his career sky rocketed. Sadly, his career was tragically cut short whilst competing at Tweeseldown Horse Trials in 2000 where he sustained a fatal injury. He was at that time already Advanced, accruing over 200 BE points during his short career which would otherwise undoubtedly have seen him feature in many major horse trials. He was sired by, Just a Monarch. A stallion that has produced many superb competition stock over the years. Many of his proven progeny including the International Event Horses, Kings Jester, Just an Ace and Midnight Monarch, as well as point-to-pointer Mark Methane who has won over 30 races.
Rock Kings' dam, Rocky's Double and Grand dam, Farley Mount were both prolific producers of CCI **** Eventers, including; Double Trust, Alfresco, Trust in me and Kilcashel.

Kalindi's maternal damsire is none other than the legendary Bohemond, HIS Premium stallion and sire of double Olympic event mare Withcote Nellie and dam sire of NZ WEG Team horse Classic Moet, who contested WEG 2014 and 2016, who was 3rd and Burghley and competed at Badminton three times, winning in 2018.

This filly is not only going to me the most stunning looking horse, but also has a solid performance pedigree and a lot of athletic ability which, if channeled and nurtured could see her making a real impression in sport.
