This gorgeous two year old gelding is not only a quality youngster with super breeding and outstanding looks; he is also charm personified and probably one of the most laid back, easy going and relaxed young horses that we have ever had. He is the most tractable, trainable and sensible youngster imaginable and just wants to please at every step. He is mannerly in all situations, stands like a statue for the farrier, comes to call, is a doddle to worm and will stand for hours without fidgeting or showing irritation. He loves to be groomed, fussed and loves any type of attention. He is the most straight forward of youngsters and a very handsome young man too! I foresee him making anybody a proud owner and a simply amazing prospect under saddle for someone looking for talent without tantrums and a youngster who will be straightforward as well as a pleasure to produce.

GFS Echo of Thunder's dam is a Westphalian registered mare by the advanced eventing Trakehner stallion Camaro. Her dam is a Kinsky warmblood mare and product of a dedicated breeding program initiated by Count Kinsky in developing a horse of enormous versatility and outstanding temperaments.

This breed has excelled over the past century in almost all disciplines with great aplomb but their true purpose and original forte was as steeplechasers extraordinaire. They have as a breed had great success in the 'Devil's Race' the Grand Pardubice in the now Czech Republic.

Thunder's grand sire Camaro is one of only two Elite coloured Trakehner stallions. Twice a Young Horse Championship qualifier for the German Bundeschampionate. He is both an advanced eventer and show jumper. His sire, Le Duc was Reserve Champion winner at his performance test with unprecedented scores of 10 for character, efficiency of movement and trot. He scored a 9 in all other categories. A Grand Prix dressage stallion with a performance index of 146, his dam was a consistent producer of Performance Test winners.

His G.Grandsire, Anduc, a son of number one Trakehner stallion in the World, Marduc was another Elite stallion renowned for producing progeny of outstanding temperament and rideability.

His 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 highly prized Czech Kinsky Warmblood with top performance thoroughbred and the versatile and top temperament of the Irish Connemara.

There is much information here on our website of both Ice and his sire who stood with us for many years, Colourthyme Kajika, who is also Graded and Licensed with the AES. He represents the Knabstrupper and Kinsky element of this wonderful melting pot of equestrian breeds. He is a superb stallion who represents, excellent conformation, incredible athleticism and faultless temperament.

His dam was by the leading sire of event horses Rock King. Not only an eventer in his own right, but also the sire of the Olympic eventer Rock Model and the sire of four competitors at the 2008 CCI **** at Luhmuhlen.

Rock King was also 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 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 lovely yearling really does represent the opportunity to buy a quality youngster with all of the desirable attributes of a potential future competitor of note who will offer a discerning owner a horse of quality with a temperament which is almost beyond compare!

• Warmblood
• Palomino
• Filly
• 2 years
• 16.2 hands

• 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.

We feel that she is ideally suited to a future either show jumping or eventing, but, she would equally impress between the white boards.

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.
This filly is a naturally calm, confident and friendly youngster who enjoys attention and shows both intelligence and an aptitude for learning quickly.
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.
