Meet Spycatcher – affectionately known as Luca – a striking palomino gelding with exceptional breeding and a bright future ahead. This handsome Irish Sports Horse combines athleticism, balance, and a natural aptitude for learning, making him a truly exciting prospect for a competitive or ambitious amateur home.

Bred for performance and presence, Luca shows the elegant and the metallic sheen of his sire line, while carrying the strength and versatility of traditional Irish Draught bloodlines.

Breeding:

Sire: Xanadu, a metallic golden buckskin Akhal-Teke Sports Horse by Atamekan (Grade I racehorse in Turkmenistan) out of GULARA (Elite-graded by VNIIK, Russia's national Akhal-Teke studbook authority). Now sadly deceased, Xanadu passed on his boldness, intelligence, and lightness of movement. His progeny have excelled across showjumping, eventing, endurance, and showing.

Dam: Bletchley Park, a traditionally bred Irish Draught Sport Horse by the late Knightley Park out of Ballygarris Black Diamond (by Diamond Lad). This dam line boasts rare and valuable blood, tracing directly to the legendary Enniskeane Countess, foundation of several notable stallions including Glidawn Diamond, Diamond Lad, Kildalton Gold, and Pride of Kildalton.


Training & Temperament:

Luca has been professionally and lightly backed before being turned away to mature last Spring. Reintroduced this spring, he is now hacking out confidently on roads and in open fields. He's a forward-thinking, bold young horse who enjoys work and is eager to learn. Not suitable for novices.

He’s been well-handled since birth, easy to catch (usually trots over to greet you), respectful of electric fencing, and good to box, travel, and for the farrier. He’s happy alone or in company and is up to date with vaccinations. As a yearling, he attended local in-hand shows and behaved impeccably. He also has experience being led in-hand through village traffic, showing calmness and curiosity.

He does have a small cosmetic blemish on his front fore, which does not affect soundness and is barely noticeable.

Highlights:

- Flashy palomino gelding with rare, performance-oriented breeding

- Backed and hacking out; ready to continue education

- Kind, intelligent, and playful nature

- Great conformation and strong movement

- Versatile potential: eventing, showjumping or dressage

Luca is now ready for a new home where his talent, presence, and character can be developed to full potential.

Harmony was bought directly from the Ivy Stud at weaning. She is such a special filly, bred for colour, ability and temperament. By the stunning Multicolors Marvel out of a Crowns Ace of Pearl mare she is double dilute and is beautifully marked. She is expected to make around 16/16.1hh.

She is straight and correct in her movement and has a wonderful temperament. Handled daily by myself and my daughters she lives out in a small herd. She has been allowed to mature and be a horse and so is a complete blank canvas ready to start her basic education this summer.

Harmony is an exciting prospect for the future and could excel in any sphere with her trainable, friendly nature and excellent bloodlines. It is for this reason that she will only go to the very best home where she will be produced correctly to fulfil her potential.

Carolina's Comet (Caz) born 2022, by my own broodmare (Quidam de Revel/Heartbreaker lines) sired by advanced event stallion Jigilo (Jumbo x Summer Jane). To make 16/16.1hh.

Would make excellent competition horse / allrounder.

Jigilo has been very successful on the event circuit (see pictures for further details) and his excellent temperament can be seen in all his progeny. Caz is the full sibling to my 3yo stallion Chance - who can also be viewed as a glimpse into her future and a testament to their temperament.

Caz boasts plenty of blood with 50% TB breeding on both sides. She is fine limbed but possesses substance through her frame, she is very quick across the ground and has the aptitude to event or SJ.

Caz is the kindest mare you'll meet. She has a gorgeous attitude to life, she's laid-back, willing, attentive, sociable and intelligent. She handles like a 8yo!

Caz has lived in and out with us so she's very adaptable to a stabled or field routine, she's good to lead with other horses (she has regularly lead out as a three). She picks all four feet up politely and has started our young-horse training programme and therefore understands rein-back, hindquarter yield, shoulder yield alongside some very early circle walk work. She's been bitted and desensitised to girth/back pressure.

Caz has an outgoing nature and is very bold towards a fence, she has lightly loose jumped and is showing excellent scope and technique. We don't ask our young horses to jump huge fences as I don't personally believe in putting their joints through that level of wear and tear at a young age, she is proven up to 70cm and not fussed by fillers. She has acquired both her parent's attitude and ability for jumping and I can see her going far in this field.

Caz loads & travels well in a trailer. She's good with the farrier and has had regular trims in her lifetime. She's worn a dental gag and had her teeth checked. She's very amenable to whatever you ask of her. She's good with the vet and is up to date on her vaccinations.

She is only available due to needing space at the farm, especially as my stallions mature it is becoming increasingly hard to accommodate so many mares.

I will only part with her to the right person. 5* home only for this much loved filly.

She is inquisitive and kind. Has been strong and straight from day 1 and every day is flourishing into something even more spectacular.

her Sire Silvester has many progeny competing at top level in all 3 disciplines his forbearers
have won numerous Nations cups.

He is an intelligent stallion and has a enthusiastic but relaxed temperament which he passes on to progeny.

His genetic generosity has led to outstanding consistent breeding success. To date at the Futurity Evaluations his progeny have been awarded: 11 Elites (1 dressage, 2 eventing and 8 showjumping) 73 Golds (dressage, eventing and showjumping).

Silvester now has the unique distinction of having Elite progeny in all three disciplines, proof of his quality and versatility. His progeny are proving highly trainable, exceptional competition horses.
