• 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

• Absolutely incredible Ahorn colt with the attributes expected from this exceptional breeding.
• He demonstrates power, agility, speed, style & balanced gaits with huge presence & a great brain
• Ideal prospect for top competetive endeavour and as a future breeding stallion over horses & ponies

This highly attractive young colt is bred with a tremendous, world class performance pedigree. He has a fantastic character and having been professionally handled from birth, he is exceptionally easy to handle and mannerly. His temperament is superb and he is very much a 'people' person.
He is compact, strong and powerful with incredible movement, balanced and expressive gaits. He has the gallop of an eventer and although 100% show jump breeding, his movement would definitely not be out of place seen between the white boards!
We believe this young colt offers a huge opportunity for someone in search of a future top competition prospect with the added benefits of potentially being a worthy and sought after stallion in the future, suitable for producing top jumping ponies or horses. He currently stands at 15hh, so there is some liklihoof that he will make height as a pony unless he has a massive growth spurt!
Astro is such a lovely character, he has the attitude and willingness to go far and will be a joy and a pleasure to work with.

GFS Astro Nova's sire 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%.

Astro's 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 prior to coming to stud. 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 horses sired by Ahorn whose semen was stored over thirty years ago. I am not even sure if there is any remaining!!
We actually have the other Ahorn youngster too! A filly out of a well bred mare who competed at the top, internationally and consistently at 1.40.
