3yo buckskin gelding to mature around 15.3hh. Absolutely mega little horse bursting with personality and ability, Turtle has been a yard favourite since the day he was born. He is the coolest dude around!

Turtle is a super stamp that is well put together, straight and correct with great feet and a gorgeous head. He is solid but sporty, an all-terrain vehicle with that super important pony brain, native toughness and sport horse athleticism.

Turtle's sire is the renowned and supremely versatile Ynyslyns Orlando, the only Welsh D to be graded with the AES bringing a unique combination of native pony toughness and sports horse quality athleticism. Orlando is the ultimate allrounder producer who has himself participated in dressage, showjumping, eventing, hunting, working equitation and team chasing and who is known for passing on his user-friendly and highly trainable temperament.

Turtle's dam is an ISH mare with Clover Hill and Master Imp bloodlines. The damline has produced 4* eventer and 1.30m showjumper Master McCormack, as well as numerous successful national level amateur showjumpers and eventers. The dam herself competed to 1.10m.

Turtle is a big active mover with an eye-catching trot and an uphill canter. With the right production we think he would do a super test, especially for eventing as Turtle is a MACHINE. Although he has only loose jumped a handful of times he absolutely loves it. He is super bold with quick reflexes and will take on anything from anywhere. We think he would be incredible eventing cross country, out hunting or team chasing. Turtle likes to go fast and jump big!

Additionally Turtle is a massive personality with the most brilliant temperament. He is just hilarious and always seems to be happy and smiling. He has the most fantastic attitude to everything and is always game, he takes everything in his stride. Has seen traffic, worn tack and been sat on and takes everything on like he has done it all before. It is so important to us that Turtle goes to someone who is on his wavelength because you would have an absolute ball! Turtle has lived out in a mixed herd for most of his life and is well socialised. In winter he has been both stabled and barned and he has no vices.

Turtle really is one of a kind. Eyecatching, beautiful, user-friendly and capable of being produced on in to any sphere, whether that's BE, BS, BD, hunting, team chasing or just as much of anything and everything as you can do! Turtle is the kind of horse you'd be able to take to the beach on Monday, hunt on Wednesday, get your BE Grassroots qualification on the weekend and then set off for Pony Club/Riding Club camp the following week. A real go anywhere, do anything kind of guy who will make you smile every day and be your best mate for life.

Based Widnes, sire and dam can be seen.

Shabby is a 3yo buckskin gelding currently standing around 15.1hh to mature approx 15.3/16hh. Shabby really is the 3yo everyone is looking for, and cannot find as a 5yo.

Shabby is a very correct model with excellent conformation, limbs and feet with a bit of bone to give him enough substance whilst still being sporty. He has great presence and perfectly brings together the strengths of both native and warm blood that means he could happily live out and won't melt in the rain. Shabby has a fantastic, user-friendly temperament with a kind, gentle presence and loves human company. He has lived in a mixed herd his whole life, apart from when stabled, and is very well socialised, playing well with others. He has the movement, athleticism and breeding to be competitive in BE, BS and BD and the temperament and trainability to do it on weekends from his owner's back garden.

Shabby is a lovely mover with plenty of action. He covers the ground well and catches the eye. Has loose jumped only a handful of times and shows lovely technique with a tidy front end and a desire to clear the poles. He is clever with his feet and very trainable with plenty of potential to work with and climb the levels either showjumping or eventing. Shabby has seen traffic and farm equipment and is generally bold in nature when dealing with new things.

Shabby has the most fantastic temperament. He is friendly, curious, kind and loves being played with. Shabby would quite happily stand there all day and just lick you from head to toe if you'd let him! He is super trainable and very willing to learn. He has lived out unrugged in a mixed herd but will also happily be stabled, he has settled everywhere we've put him. He ties up on the yard and leaves his friends to work without issue. He has worn tack and been sat on - a complete job that took a total of 20 minutes! He was completely unphased by the whole thing and we think he will be very straightforward to do.

By the super popular and versatile Ynyslyns Orlando, a prolific producer of quality youngstock with exceptional temperaments and versatility. Out of Irina, a Dutch Warmblood from a proven performance damline including maternal siblings competing in dressage, showjumping and eventing up to 3*. Irina's 2 oldest offspring are competing in showjumping in Holland and Poland. Her 2025 foal was sold at a day old.

Shabby really will be someone's horse of a lifetime and is exactly the kind of horse we set out to breed. For the right person he will be your best friend and take you anywhere you want to go, whether it's competing in a national final in the sport of your choice, attending training camps or hacking out with the kids on the weekends. Shabby does not melt in the rain, has good solid Welsh feet that you can shoe or not, can live most of the year on nothing but good grass and isn't likely to lose his head if you can't ride for a couple of weeks because life has taken over.

Callum is a stunning, flashy buckskin colt from proven performance bloodlines. He is a tall, upstanding model with great presence and a super friendly, bold, trainable personality. He has decent bone and will be a substantial, athletic model that we expect to mature around 16.2hh.

He is very personable and loves attention, he always has a smile on his face.

Callum is one of the first foals by Pegasus, an exciting young sport horse stallion with Grand Prix dressage lines on the sire side from Camlough Delphi (Treliver Decanter) and showjumping lines on the dam side from Crowns Ace of Pearl.

Callum's dam is a real pocket rocket of an Irish Sports Horse by Dooratown Hallo out of a Chacoa mare. Chacoa, by Contender, is a prolific sire of performance horses including dressage horses to GP and eventers to 5*. The dam herself was a junior eventer who competed to BE100u18 before showjumping to 1.20m as a modern pentathlon horse as part of the string that qualified Team GB for Tokyo, a true testament to her incredible temperament and love for the job.

The dam has several siblings competing in showjumping in Ireland, including the Grade A Smalltown Boy IV currently jumping 1.30m GPs with a teenage girl.
A seriously smart prospect for the future.

• Warmblood

• Filly
• 2 years
• 17hh / 173cm

• Very nicely bred to realistically have enormous potential in any of the Olympic disciplines.
• Fantastic mover, very athletic & incredibly elegant. This girl is a real head turner & very stylish!
• Fantastic nature; she is level headed, genuinely kind, calm & a wise head on shoulders so young.

This lovely looking filly is bursting with calm, graceful presence. She has a beautiful head, kind eye and is a tall elegant horse with a generous nature and natural talent in abundance. She moves with expression, elevation and very pleasing balance and although primarily bred to jump; her sire GFS Illuminati is starting to make a real mark in Dubai as his career has commenced with superb national dressage results.

GFS Luminita is a lovely young horse to work with in every situation, she has been professionally handled from birth and her manners are exceptional both in and out of the stable. She is very intelligent and trusting and this makes her very calm even in situations where she is unsure. I cannot put into words how lovely the nature of this young horse is, she is simply very kind.
Luminita is vice free and a pleasure to spend time with. I think she will be wonderful too, when started under saddle as she is such a brave, confident and trusting young horse who genuinely likes people and has a strong desire to please.

The dam of this lovely girl is Quirilina Z is a Zangersheide mare who jumped with success at 1.20 on an FEI passport and has a good BSJA record with her previous amateur owner. Her sire Quirifino Z successfully competed for several years at 1.60m with Ben Maher, coming 4th in the Hickstead Derby among numerous other winnings at Grand Prix level, including competing at the Global Champions Tour 2009 & 2010. He is a very versatile stallion having produced both show jumpers and eventers. He is renowned for passing his laid back nature to his offspring.

Quidam de Revel, Quirifino's sire is one of the most influential breeding stallions of all time. His offspring are highly sought after as they have huge scopy jumps, but remain ultra careful. In 2004 Quidam topped the World Breeding Championships jumping stallion ratings for the second year, establishing him as the per-eminent (and most expensive) living sire of showjumping horses.

Quirifino's dam sire Grosso Z produced the international jumping star Goldfever and the international dressage stallion Goethe.
Her damsire Lorentin I is a famous Holsteiner dressage stallion which may well explain her phenomenal movement! He competed at Grand Prix level and sired top dressage progeny including L'Acteur and Limocello. Fleming her dams Holstein grand sire also competed at Grand Prix dressage.

The sire of this exciting youngster is GFS Illuminatii a young home bred stallion who has proven himself a sire of potentially exceptional foals in 2023, he once again produced two more fantastic foals for us in 2024 before being sold to a professional home in Dubai where he has started his career under saddle and already showing tremendous talent and achieving great results!
His sire is also a home bred and we produced his sire to Novice eventing - Paddy of Liosin. 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.

Magic was something of a dream mare to own. Aside from her obvious talent, incredible movement and rare beauty, she had the greatest attitude and most generous nature imaginable. This is something that is a common theme throughout Illuminati's pedigree. Having owned or bred many generations of this young stallions parentage, I know them to be of faultless temperament, unquestionable rideability and horses who have the talent and attitude to be exceptional in every way.

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.

It's Magic's 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 1,80-1,90-2,00-2,10men
