• This absolutely incredible colt is an absolute dream to handle in any situation; manners to burn!
• Nelson is incredibly athletic, he has outstanding movement and great presence..
• Nelson had an accident as a very young foal and had to have an eye removed - you would not know it!

This striking looking and hugely impressive foal is not only a dream to look at, but he moves with the grace, precision and expressive gaits of a youngster who was born to impress. This little fellow has all of the moves from his big, relaxed walk, his huge flashy trot, balanced canter and the gallop of a born eventer!

Nelson is an absolute angel to handle and he has been from birth. He is gentle, affectionate, ready to please wherever he can and a really lovely personality. He is vice free, perfectly behaved for the farrier, mannerly in hand, easy to catch, groom, rug and he absolutely loves people.
Sadly, Nelson suffered an injury to his eye at a couple of months old. It was severe enough that his eye could not be saved and we had to have it removed. This operation was done with absolutely no complications and Nelson's recovery was swift. From the moment this lovely boy returned to the field and to this day forward, his limited vision has presented absolutely no reason to call it a disability. Nelson has adapted seamlessly and gallops with his friends, plays rough and tumble as well as any of the other and needs no allowances, he has found a way to navigate life as easily as any of his peers!

His dam, Sahara is by the golden palomino Grand Prix stallion Treliver Decanter (Dimaggio/Grand Ferdel). He has offspring competing PSG/Inter1, 1.40m show jumpers and CIC2*/CCI2* eventers. Decanter's sire Dimaggio competed PSG/Inter1 and produced over 30 GP horses, CCI4* eventers, and over 73 approved sons. She is out of am Elite Graded SH(GB) mare by the Saddlers Wells bred stallion Accondy and out of the GP dressage stallion World Cup.

Accondy was placed in two out of his three starts, sired numerous National Hunt winners and became a sport horse sire of importance, joining the HIS Premium scheme in 1997, when he was the reserve for the Macdonald-Buchanan Trophy for the best new young stallion. The same year he stood Champion at the British Hanoverian Horse Society grading, attracting offers from the German assessors. He became a Super Premium stallion 1n 1998 and was twice awarded the Henry Tudor Cup and he was champion Thoroughbred at the Royal Dublin in 2001.

Nelson's sire 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 hghly prized Czech Kinsky Warmblood with top performance thoroughbred and the versatile and top temperament of the Irish Connemara. He is a lovely big stallion of unique appearance and great beauty. He has a faultless temperament and super movement. He ha been an immensely popular sire and has offspring all over the world.

GFS Fire and Ice's dam was 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, Rockys Double and Grand dam, Farley Mount were both prolific producers of CCI **** Eventers, including; Double Trust, Alfresco, Trust in me and Kilcashel.

Folly's Rock 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 stunning colt represents a fabulous opportunity for someone looking for a top competition prospect without the big budget! There are many top horses who have reached the top despite having the vision in only one eye!
I can guarantee this youngster will go far, he has the heart and soul of a warrior as well as the attitude and ability to go a very long way. His charm will enchant anyone he meets and his looks will make him stand out anywhere. He should not be discounted as a serious competitive prospect but would equally make a sensational ridden horse for any level of rider and will thrive as long as he is loved and given the attention that he both deserves and relishes! He is offered at a fraction of his worth and I have no doubt that this beautiful soul is going to make somebody their horse of a lifetime.

• This girl is an absolute beauty and moves like a dream
• Well bred with performance bloodlines that are as versatile as they are impressive
• Super exciting eventing prospect; she possesses real talent, athleticism & fabulous movement.

An exceptionally attractive, long legged filly, she is a golden beauty with a huge personality, real intelligence and loving nature. She has good conformation, is quick to learn and she is vice free.

She has several half siblings competing and a Licensed stallion has been previously produced by her dam. Like her siblings before her, she has a bold attitude, quick mind and formidable athletic potential; with big, expressive paces and balanced, elevated movement, 'Prada' will be a tremendously exciting youngster to produce as she has a good brain, she is brave and clever.

She has been professionally handled from birth, receiving monthly farrier visits, regular worming and is vice free both in and out of the stable. She is easy to catch, lead, rug, groom and handle. But, can be quite particular in selecting her people! She is currently not that infatuated with the farrier, but this is something that we are working on and it is improving with each visit.

We feel that this little stunner would be suited to someone experienced with youngsters as she is very clever and highly suitable for production for higher level sport.

A Little about her breeding:
Her dam Liosin Lux is an extraordinary mare who has competed at 1.20 in Ireland, has successfully foaled two sets of healthy twins as well as being the dam, grand dam and great grand dam of three Licensed stallions. Her offspring also include show jumpers up to 1.40, dressage horses and is the dam of our previously owned Graded stallion Paddy of Liosin who is currently competing at BE Novice.
She is by the KWPN stallion Olympic Lux. He is a proven sire of remarkable progeny. He competed up to six years of age jumping National 1.30m classes. He comes from the same mother line that has produced the stallions Tenerife VDL and Quasimodo Z to name but a few. His dam Filomin is a Keur mare and a GP show jumper. Second dam Wilomena II is half sister to the great show jumper Paloma.
Olympic Lux has sired International show jumpers but is also a dual purpose sire with many successful eventing progeny. Sired by Lux Z, one of the most successful stallions in International showjumping. He competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. A winner of over a million euro, his pedigree is something of a blue chip dynasty in the world of International competition, with a litany of champions peppering every extension of the family tree!

This filly's sire GFS Lord of the Dance is home bred and by a stallion that I imported as a yearling from Estonia (Destello). Both these super stallions breeding and details are well documented on their own pages on this website. With their combined pedigrees they bring a rare and desirable blood infusion of of the distinguished Russian Trakehner in it's purest form and top performance, the exotic and mysterious Akhal Teke of Turkmenistan, renowned for extraordinary stamina, agility, bravery and loyalty and American thoroughbred bloodlines of incredible speed and talent as well as a pinch of Hanoverian gravitas and physical power.
Dar, Destello's sire is by the International Grand Prix and Elite stallion Ashkhabad and his dam Dolina was a show jumping International.

The Russian Trakehner is rarely seen outside of Russia. This aristocratic and jealously guarded product of highly selective breeding has proven results throughout Eastern Europe as exceptionally talented performers in each of the three major discipline. Aschachabad, Dars sire was an outstanding Russian Trakehner stallion by anyones standards. Bred at the famous Dovatar Stud, he was the winner of Young Stallion of the year held amongst all Belorussian Trakehners. He scored an unprecedented 10 for his jumping ability. However, it was as a dressage horse that Aschchabad was to make his name. He was eventually sold to Germany for dressage.

GFS Lord of the Dance's dam was owned by us for many years and produced many superb foals for us including two additional Licensed stallions. She was by the hugely promising palomino Hanoverian stallion Malibu Galileo and out of an American thoroughbred mare of tremendous performance and providence on the track.

.GFS Starstruck's Breeding:
Sired by the wonderful GFS Fire and Ice whose breeding and extensive, impressive and talented family tree can be explored on our website. His eventing providence is tremendous on his dams side with the great Rock King and Bohemond the sire and maternal Gandsire of his dam and on that of his sire, the extraordinary talent, temperament and versatility of the Danish Knabstrupper, coupled with the inimitable strength, stamina, bravery and performance of the Kinsky warmblood. This makes the amalgamation of Starstruck's bloodlines when coupled with her exceptional show jumping history of her KWPN dam's pedigree. Her dam Deihaiwejo is by Al Pacino W - An outstanding International Grand Pix show jumper and son of the amazing “phenomenon” Andiamo by Animo- Almé).

Deihaiwejo's dam lines are equally impressive with her dam sire, Aiglon Rouge a son of two of the most incredible jumpers and producers of simply incredible offspring. Narcos II and the legendary mare, Dirka - dam of Quidam de Revel, Paprika de Revel, Vallon Rouge to name just a few!

Al Pacino W was bred from the beautiful blood mare SATAJAVERTE (by Julio Marinier xx) This family tree brought forth many approved stallions and international jumping horses. He showed his superb qualities during his performance tests: jumping under saddle as well as free jumping and fulfilled all requirements for the KWPN Approval. His sire Andiamo Z jumped internationally at 1.50 level despite starting his career later in life due to injury. Bred by Morten Aasen out of Taj Mahal {NRPS} Studbook Zangersheide brought in a dash of Anglo-Arabian blood via Andiamo Z. The sire of Taj Mahal x is no-one less than the Anglo-Arabian Garitchou x (by Nikou} who has provided various mares´lines with a large number of sport horses, including BWP-bred stallion Jus de Pomme, double Olympic gold for Germany and Ulrich Kirchhoff, Shogoun, Grand Prix winner under Philippe Le Jeune and Eric Navet, Quintus and Richebourg, both licensed stallions. The dam of Taj Mahal is Joyeuse by Nithard x. Other Nithard daughters have produced, for example, the stallion Olisoco, Grand Prix winner under the American Michael Matz, Privilege (Helmut Morbitzer}, Ronco (Bert Romp}, Quick Star (Meredith Michaels}, Inschallah x, Joad and Vetiver du Gamet (Philippe Leoni}. Grandsire Animo competed consistently among the best in World Cup and grand Prix competitions in the 90's. He jumped in the Olympic Final in 1992, and was placed in 48 World Cups and Grand Prix.
As a breeding stallion, Animo boasts sons approved in numerous studbooks globally.

Alme (GGG Sire)
Almé was by the Selle Francais, Ibrahim, a stallion whose influence is still incredibly strong today. His dam, Girondine produced three full brothers to Almé, which were all licensed stallions or successful jumpers.

As a young stallion was ridden by Bernard Geneste as a five-year-old, before he was purchased and competed by American Fred Lorimer Graham for two years. He was then taken as a mount by François Mathy and Johan Heins, with whom he competed internationally. He won many Grand Prix events, including the Grand Prix of the Netherlands.
Almé had a successful career at stud, which is often compared to that of the champion Thoroughbred stallion, Northern Dancer. He first stood at stud as a five year old, serving France from 1971-1974, before standing at Zangersheide from 1975-1985. He was then returned to France, where he stood at the Brullemail stud farm until his retirement in 1990, covering 420 mares from across Europe. His stud fee during this time, after having proven himself so well, ranged from F14,000 to F20,000.
During his first 4 years in France, Almé sired the international show jumpers Galoubet, I Love You (2 time World Cup winner), and Jalisco, as well as the stallions Quick Star and Quatoubet (sire of the three-time World Cup winner Baloubet du Rouet). While standing at Zangersheide, his offspring were registered in the Hanoverian stud book, where his blood had great influence, and he also made his way into the Holstein stud books through his sons Ahorn Z, Aloubé Z, Athlet Z, and Alexis Z. His grandson, Quidam de Revel, has also been used in Holstein breeding.
Alme is the only horse to have sired 2 World Champions and 3 Olympic horses. His son, Aerobic, became the top priced horse at the PSI Auktion in Ankum (650,000 DM).

Julio Mariner can also be found in the fourth line of her pedigree, he is believed to be on of the top thoroughbreds ever produced for breeding top sporthorses. Adding refinement, speed and intelligence. Julio Mariner xx was approved in seven studbooks, including KWPN, Holstein, Hannover and Oldenburg. He was praised by breeders for his eagerness and excellent jumping techniques and is one of the best thoroughbred sires in Dutch breeding. Indeed, technique, reflexes and alertness characterize both the jumping manners of Julio Mariner xx and those of his offspring.

Starstruck's G.Dam was by Aiglon Rouge and out of the mare that has probably had more influence than almost any other through her legendary son Quidam de Revel! Dirka, despite being only 163 cms, won at international level with Nelson Pessoa, once returned to her breeder on retirement she was bred to Sans Souci, to produce two international competitors, Orka and Paprika de Revel, then with Jalisco B she produced Quidam de Revel and the broodmares, Razzia and Sarah de Revel. With Jalisco’s half brother, Kisosovo, she produced CSO winner, Vallon Rouge, and with Narcos, Aiglon Rouge, a star in Holland. With Quat’sous, she produced Byra Rouge, and with Pappillon Rouge, Dirka de Revel. What a mare!
