• 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.

The magnificent GFS Lord of the Dance (2014)

This absolutely heavenly natured and incredibly handsome stallion is regretfully in search of a deserving new home! The gorgeous 'Django' has been living the good life with a friend and alongside his half brother, where he has been enjoying plenty of ridden work and endless pampering in a wonderful home with a family who absolutely adore him.

Circumstances have changed and sadly the time has come for us to consider finally selling him if we can find the perfect home for this special boy.
Standing at 16.3hh and with the most incredible temperament, loving attitude and trustworthy of natures, he enjoys his ridden work but is ideally suited to resume work as a breeding stallion and or a fabulous prospect for someone looking for a leisure horse to enjoy hacking, occasional schooling and just to have a lot of fun with.

His breeding is of incredibly rare Russian Trakehner, Akhal Teke and thoroughbred bloodlines which have both proven jumping and dressage provenance. It is due to his exotic heritage that his coat shines with the mesmeric iridescent sheen.

He has been Graded by the AES with some great comments and he is a proven sire of some spectacular offspring out competing here in the UK and in the USA. He has two sons standing at Stud very successfully. One in the US, GFS Mikado, a young stallion who has been Approved by Oldenburg and who is starting to make his mark both show jumping and in Hunter Jumpers. He also has a spectacular son GFS Man in the Moon standing in Ireland (both of these stallions have their own FB pages for reference).
We are working steadfastly towards retirement and as such, he was on loan as his future is very important to us. He has not been used at stud for the past two years. When we stood him at Public Stud his fee was £600 and he was a popular choice for mare owners, producing some real quality dilute foals (he can also produce the beautiful smoky black) from a variety of mares. We have offspring of his here and have bred numerous foals ourselves from him; they have all been very athletic, intelligent and gentle souls with highly sociable attitudes and proven highly trainable in a variety of disciplines.

Future homes will only be considered who are experienced with stallions and have suitable facilities to offer a stallion a good life with turnout, work and lots of love, because this is a horse who really loves people, attention and is 100% genuine in all ways.

This horse means a lot to us and to all those who know him and his future home and happiness is of paramount importance.

He has lived in an American barn happily with mares and is currently on a mixed private yard. He enjoys turnout daily in his own field. He is vice free, great with the farrier, comes to call and presents no issues to handle. He is an absolute gentleman, gentle and so loving, but he is a stallion and requires the respect and understanding that requires.

GFS Lord of the Dance is currently in Cheshire and will be in Exeter from the second week of February. He really is a remarkable stallion and would be a tremendous addition to a serious breeding program or an ideal friend for anyone looking for a special horse to love and enjoy.

• Bay
• Mare
• 10 years
• 16 hands

• Proven broodmare with a super temperament and tremendous breeding
• Fantastic mother, fuss free foaler and easy to get in foal
• Outstanding breeding for serious SJ or eventing breeders

This lovely mare has evented BE and has already produced a fantastic filly foal. She is straightforward, mannerly, vice free and easy to deal with in all ways; a remarkable first time mother and has taken 1st time on both occasions. She is sired by the remarkable stallion Ramiro B who 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 showjumpers.
Ramiro B has ranked as high as 2nd in the WBFSH rankings. He is No. 3 on the top sires in 2018 based on BE points.
Bred in Belgium and produced in Ireland, he won up to International Grand Prix level with Irish show jumper Edward Doyle. Ramiro B was noted for his consistency in technique, rideability and scope. Known to stamp his stock very well, his attributes are seen in his offspring.
By Calvani, a son of Caretino, one of Germany’s top sires of all time, Ramiro B passes his jumping ability, movement and temperament on to his progeny. 

Her dam sire, Black Sam Bellamy, 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 Bellamywas a stallion who tasted as a sire both on the Flat and over jumps as well as siring multiple eventers in his latter years.
He 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 a full-brother to the world’s leading active sire, Galileo, and half-brother to the outstanding racehorse and increasingly important stallion, Sea The Stars, both Derby and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S winners.
His dam can realistically lay claim to being by far the most influential matriarch in the history of the Thoroughbred. Her sons [Galileo, Black Sam Bellamy, and Sea The Stars] have already produced Group 1 winners, and Galileo and Sea The Stars have produced major classic winners. Two of her grandsons [Galileo’s sons New Approach and Teofilo] have produced classic winners and three of her daughters have produced stakes winners.
“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. 

Sire of Foal:
Chacco Royale was approved at the Oldenburg licensing in Germany in January 2023 and is an exciting opportunity for UK breeders. He impressed in Vechta, with his athleticism, fluid jumping technique and correct conformation. He has inherited from his father, a large but elegant frame and a regal nobility that stands him apart from the crowd. He combines two of the most desirable bloodlines of Conthargos and Chacco-Blue. He combines these fantastic bloodlines with a modern type and lovely temperament.
Sire- His sire Conthargos, has produced many international jumping horses, including Concona/Ben Maher/GBR, Nations Cup winner, Conthinder/Andrzej Oplatek/POL, Champion in Salzburg/AUT, as well as Conbelleza/Simon Delestre/FRA, Pia Contra/Nicolas Pizarro/MEX and Conbalou/Gert-Jan Bruggink/NED etc.  In 2008, he was the easy winner of the strong Dobrock tournament with a score of 9.5, and effortlessly qualified for the Bundeschampionat. He was Oldenburg regional champion in 2005, was placed at the national championships and was second best show jumping stallion at the World Championships in Lanaken.  
Damline-  Out of the dam line of Take a Chance on Me Z who competed to 1.60m under Christian Ahlmann. Chacco Girl is the daughter of the great Chacco-Blue. Chacco-Blue was third in the Grand Prix of Aachen and won the Grand Prix of Neumünster. The success of his offspring placed him amongst the top ten of the world's best show jumping sires for the first time in 2015. Since 2017, he has led the ranking of the world breeding federation WBFSH. His most successful offspring include the Vice European Champion and Global Champions Tour winner Explosion W/Ben Maher/GBR, the European Team Champion Chaqui Z/Shane Sweetnam/IRL and Grand Prix winner Chacna/Enrique Gonzalez/MEX. The latter was one of eight of Chacco-Blue’s offspring who took part in the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Tryon/USA. Almost 50 of his sons have been licensed.

He is the most tractable, trainable and sensible youngster imaginable and just wants to please at every step.

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.

This is going to be a very special horse with a huge competitive future.
Astro's breeding is absolutely outstanding and makes him an extremely exciting prospect for someone looking for a future show jumper with the providence of champions running throughout his faultless pedigree and the brain of a winner.

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!!!

Performance stallions Balou du Rouet and Chacco-Blue appear in the previous generations and secure Conthalou’s pedigree in the best way.

Chacco-Blue was third in the Grand Prix in Aachen, won the Grand Prix in Neumünster and has led the WBFSH ranking since 2017.

In Germany alone he has 56 offspring competing at S level show jumping and 16 at S level dressage.

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.

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.

.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!
