Nicarado (Diarado x Corland/Caratino Glory) - In foal to the rising star and 1.60 show jumping stallion Baloutaire (Balou du Rouet x Chacco Blue!/Voltaire)

This is a massive opportunity for a serious breeder looking not only for a world class broodmare, but one who is in foal to an absolutely outstanding stallion. Her 2026 colt foal by the same stallion is incredible; jet black and displaying the outstanding athleticism expected from this breeding. He was sold for five figure within a week of his birth. This is world class breeding at it's best, do you dare to miss out?

Our beautiful Nicarado stands at 16.1hh and is nine years old. She is a lovely mare to have on the yard, being mannerly and very sweet natured. This is a hugely athletic mare, she moves absolutely beautifully and has a huge effortless jump. She is vice free and easy to deal with in every way and in any situation. She has previously had an absolutely stunning colt with us by Conthalou who has been sold to a 5* eventer.

Nicarado, or Kiwi as we call her has been under saddle previously and prior to injury but is completely recovered and sound

She is by the great Diarado who is number one for the world ranking stallions for eventing and eleven for show jumping!

Diarado is one of the most popular, and highest-ranked, stallions in Germany, and he impresses with exemplary ease at the jump, with superior scope, a willingness to perform that is second to none, maneuverability and intelligence; attributes that are necessary for today’s technical courses. Diarado is not only popular as a sire of show jumpers, but also as a sire of eventers; he always passes on his beautiful and correct type and conformation, which is so important for long-term soundness and durability. He was in sixth place on the 2017 BE Sire Rankings for 4-8 year-old offspring.

His sire, Diamant de Semilly topped the WBFSH Sire Rankings for the second time in 2016, having been inside the top ten since 2012. During his career, he was French national champion and WEG team gold medallist in 2002, and European team silver medallist in 2003.

Nicarado's dam sire, 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.

He also was Champion of the Benelux in The Hague, 7th in the World Cup of Verona and 2nd in ‘The Sires of the World’ in Lanaken.

Her dam was out of a Caretino Glory mare whose back pedigree is packed with the key names in jumping breeding – Cor De La Bryere, Ramiro, Gotthard. Further investigation of his pedigree goes some way to explaining why he passes on both quality and better than average movement.

His sire Cheenook was trained to Grand Prix level dressage, and was known for his flamboyant movement despite his Holstein jumping pedigree. In Germany alone he has 56 offspring competing at S level show jumping and 16 at S level dressage. Cheenook’s full sisters produced the decent show jumpers Cocu who represented the USA at the World Equestrian Games and Carino who also competed at 5* level.

She had competed to Novice under the name of Double M Tarko with 124 points before being sold to an amateur home and then to ourselves. Her jumping pedigree is impeccable with Grand Prix and 1.60 jumpers featuring on virtually every line of both her dam and sires pedigree.

This mare stands at 16hh, she is glamorous, talented and such a wonderful character. Miss personality plus, she is a born show off, a tremendous mover, vice free, incredibly loving and the kindest natured horse. She is 13 years old, a proven broodmare who is easy to get in foal, easy to foal down and a sensational mother. She is in foal to the leopard spot AES Graded stallion GFS Fire and Ice for a guaranteed dilute foal with a 50% chance of a spotted coat pattern in 2026. She had an outstanding colt by Ahorn in 2024 who can be viewed here and seen on our website, he is also for sale.

Her sire 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 some very big names for her offspring to live up to! She is in foal to GFS Fire and Ice for 2027, he is a perlino leopard spot stallion who has had much success at stud and has produced youngstock who have sold internationally for a variety of disciplines and are prized for their fantastic temperaments and willingness under saddle.

GFS Fire and Ice is a Graded stallion whose Graded sire was a wonderful cross of the unique Danish Knabstrupper, a breed steeped in history and legendary for their extreme trainability and versatility and the rare, highly prized Kinsky Warmblood.

The Kinsky's are renowned for their great natures and ability to turn a hoof to virtually any discipline. Throughout their history this is a breed who has excelled in all sport from Steeplechasing (this was a breed that dominated the famed Grand Pardubice ('the Devils race' in the now Czech Republic. This was a death defying race notorious for its vast obstacles and stamina sapping ploughed fields. It is a breed known for it's exceptional versatility and has seen them compete with great success in the fields of showjumping, dressage, endurance, carriage driving and eventing. They are the ultimate all rounder. In addition to their famed ability to tackle any job asked of them, huge hearts and talent under saddle, these rare horses have coats that positively shimmer with an ethereal looking 'metallic' sheen to them.

His dam was by the late great Rock King 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 Show jumper 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.

Her father ziyech is a very complete horse with a modern, correct model and three very good gaits. With a particularly active and strong hind leg, he is always moving uphill, shows a lot of balance, suppleness and activity. The dark brown stallion earned his approval at the DSP inspection and was one of the five premium stallions. Ziyech is registered as a foal with the Oldenburger Verband.

Sire - Blue Hors Zackerey was the public's darling at the 2016 Oldenburg licensing, and despite not being able to gain a premium due to his Danish papers, he sent the crowd wild and was the talk of the licensing, both in the press and on social media. He is a tall, elegant horse with everything a modern stallion needs, including a superb hind leg and wonderful self carriage. Zackerey is now emerging successfully under saddle, and was one of the most popular stallions in Denmark last year. In 2018, Zackerey was awarded the Oldenburg main premium in recognition of his outstanding first foal crop.

Damline - Mother Donna Argentina is a daughter from the first year of the well-known World Cup participant Don Juan de Hus (Jazz x Krack C). Grandam Ally Mc Beal has the famous Oldenburger top progenitor Argentinus as a sire. She is the full sister of the well-known Grand Prix mare Rafalca from Jan Ebeling (USA). Ally Mc Beal produced the premium stallion Jeraldo, approved in Westphalia and Oldenburg, who started internationally with the juniors by Paul Url. Great-grandam Ratine (Rubinstein I x Welstmeister) also produced the approved stallion Sir Rubin (by Sir Donnerhall I), who competed in the Small Tour. In the sixth generation on the dam's side we see the stallion Furioso II.

His damline is class too not only combining rhodiamant and grundstein but his dams siblings are incredible !

• Super brave for eventing and hunting

🐼Panda🐼 A one-of-a-kind, friendly and talented Allrounder with a quiet temperament and loads of ability

Panda is a 15.1h, 4yo Irish Sport Horse x Connemara piebald gelding. He has schooled up to 1.20 with our rider and comfortably jumping 90cm courses with plenty of scope for the future.

He enjoys cross country and is unphased by water, ditches, drains, etc. He is incredibly brave without getting strong and should make a phenomenal hunt horse.

Panda always rides in a loose ring snaffle and understands how to travel in the contact. He stays under the leg without being overly forward or strong, hot, or lazy, and is very forgiving to a rider error/bad distance. We think due to his easy rideability, he would suit a riding club member.

He is very quiet for riding bareback and hacking, good with traffic and machinery, well behaved in open fields and new places

Panda is easy to load, catch, shoe, tie, bathe, plait, etc. He has a sweet, in-your-pocket personality and enjoys attention.

We think Panda is a rare find for an amateur looking for a quiet horse to produce, hunt, take lessons and compete with. He is sensible and quiet enough for a teen who is confident jumping 80s courses, and talented enough for a professional to produce into a 1.20 jumper.

He is open to any vetting
