Born May 2021 this handsome gelding demonstrates athleticism, style, balance with a tremendous aptitude for quick learning. He will make a very exciting ridden prospect and has the ability to perform well in any discipline. Spycatcher, or Luca as he known at home inherited his Sire's metallic coat and has leaned towards the athleticism and instinctively bold nature of the Akhal-Teke Sports Horse. Currently standing at 16.1hh he should mature to around 16.2hh.
His Dam; Bletchley Park a traditionally bred Irish Draught Sport Horse by the (now deceased) IDSH stallion Knightley Park and out of a black Irish Draught mare called Ballygarris Black Diamond who herself was by the stallion Diamond Lad (also both sadly now deceased too). From a bloodlines point of view, Bletchley Park line-breeds to a legendary Irish Draught mare called Enniskeane Countess, who produced two stallion sons Enniskeane Prince, a show jumper and a very good sire, and his full brother Enniskeane Pride. Her greatest fame however, comes through her daughter: Kildalton Countess, who by building on her dam's strong genetic base became one of the greatest foundation mares in the Irish breed, she produced the 6 stallions: Glidawn Diamond, Diamond Lad, Diamonds are Trumps, Kildalton King, Kildalton Gold and Pride of Kildalton.
Sire: Xanadu a metallic golden buckskin Akhal-Teke Sports Horse by Atamekan (Grade I racehorse in Turkmenistan) out of GULARA (Elite graded by VNIIK, the All-Russia National Institute of Research and Horse-Breeding, which holds the Akhal-Teke mother studbook.) Xanuda (now deceased) was a bold, athletic, highly intelligent horse. He combined his sire's lightness of movement with his dam's greater substance. His progeny, include successful SJ, Eventing, Endurance and Show horses, illustrating the versatility of the Akhal-Teke horse.
Luca has been regularly handled since birth, greets you in the field, easy to catch. Has been boxed, travels well and is good with farrier. Respects an electric fence. Can be left on his own or turned out with others. Up todate with vaccinations. As a yearling he was taken to a couple of local inhand shows where he behaved impeccably. He has been led in hand through my village as a yearling investigating his surroundings, proving bold and forward. He is full of character and enthusiasm. Please note - He's a young, forward thinking sports horse, so not suitable for novices or people inexperienced with the breed/type.
He was lightly backed last year then, was turned away for the rest of the year to decompress and grow. Has a cosmetic blemish on his front fore which does not effect him. Brought back into work this spring and is hacking out. Now ready to go to a new home.
