Billy is a stunningly beautiful buckskin Warmblood colt who has been carefully bred with performance, correctness, versatility and easy temperament in mind.
Billy has a pedigree that is packed with International showjumpers, eventers and dressage horses, making him a true allrounder who is sure to excel in any chosen sphere… whether that be BS, BE or BD, Billy is also straightforward and trainable enough to make a quality Riding Club or showing horse for an amateur or young rider.
Billy’s sire ‘Crown’s Ace of Pearl’, known as one of Europe’s best showjumping horses, already has a huge social media following - not just as a talented stallion under his International rider Ben Thomas-Cook, but people also flock to Ace’s social media to watch him being jumped by Ben’s daughter, Ivy, who has ridden him since the age of 6. As well as his undeniable talent, Ace has a gentle and trainable temperament that is phenomenally rare in a breeding stallion.
Stallion AI said this about him, “Crown’s Ace of Pearl has everything you could ask for in a stallion: looks, bloodlines, athletic ability, temperament, trainability and conformation, characteristics inherited by his progeny”. He has also been described as having “perfect conformation”. Ace has proven himself competitively, showjumping 1m 40, he has also evented BE Novice and successfully competed in Working Hunter classes. Ace’s bravery and stability over all types of natural fence and terrain are stylishly displayed in his social media. So far, Ace has produced 4 licensed stallions and his golden babies can now be seen excelling in all spheres.
As well as having a famous Dad, Billy’s beautiful Mum, Sahara’s Dawn Break (Shara) is by the renowned eventing stallion Dunhill Desert Storm (also out competing at BD medium), a grandson of the International Selle Francais showjumper Didi, who under Michael Whitaker achieved 12 wins and 12 other placings out of 13 international shows. Desert Storm’s sire Dundee represented Great Britain under showjumper Geoff Luckett but his breeding career was cut short due to fertility issues.
Whilst Shara’s sire line is full of jumping horses, her dam is by the Oldenburg stallion Rubioso N, who under Ingrid Berger was reserve National Young Dressage Champion in Germany at only 5 years old. His Sire Rubinstein (Shara’s grandsire) had 40 wins at Grand Prix and competed for Germany in the 1996 Olympics. Rubenstein, known in the dressage world as “stallion of the century” died at only 14 years old but he has sired 89 State Premium mares and 66 graded stallions including Rohdiamant, Rotspon and Royal Diamond.
Billy’s family tree is full of talent, both between the boards as well as over fences. His pedigree makes Billy an exciting prospect for eventing or he could equally fulfil a jumping or pure dressage role, with his 3 expressive, correct paces and elastic movement.
Equally so - Billy has all of the correctness, presence and Wow factor to make a top class horse in the show ring, perhaps as a Riding Horse or LW Working Hunter, if that’s what he is chosen for.
We expect Billy to mature to around 16.1/ 16.2 hh. He is sure to turn heads wherever he goes with his unique smoky buckskin coat.
Billy has an incredibly gentle, loving and easy-going personality. He is not sharp or silly, he loves fuss and is equally intelligent and easily trained, making him ideal for an amateur rider. An absolute pleasure to handle day to day - whoever becomes Billy’s human, will also be his best friend.
Having been born on a busy livery yard, Billy is is well used to cars, tractors, dogs and children.
He is not phased by anything, he loves to jump puddles, just for fun!
Billy is handled daily, comes to call and is halter trained. He’s a saint to wormed and foot trim (video available of his first pedicure!) and he’ll microchipped, passported and ready to go early November. Viewings most welcome.
