Billy Barnacle – known affectionately as Nelly - is an outstanding young showjumper with proven talent, top-class breeding and an impeccable attitude. She is a mare who impresses more and more every time she steps into the ring and has all the qualities to go on to serious sport.

ELITE PEDIGREE

Sired by the phenomenal Eldorado vd Zeshoek, producer of numerous international performers. Eldorado brings size, scope, movement and unlimited athletic ability, all of which can be clearly seen in this mare.

Her dam Turtle Star offers the best of traditional Irish blood, adding toughness, quality and a brilliant brain. This combination has produced a modern sporthorse with heart, power and real presence.

COMPETITION RECORD

Although still naturally developing due to her size, Nelly already boasts an exceptional early record:
- National 5-Year-Old Champion at this year’s Showjumping Festival – an extraordinary achievement, particularly as it was her rider’s first competition on her.
- Consistent, confident and rideable in the ring with a very impressive attitude.

British Showjumping:
- £902 Winnings
- 126 Points – still eligible for Novice classes and all age-appropriate qualifiers.

QUALIFIED FOR 2026
- Newcomers Regional Final
- Discovery Regional Final
- Blue Chip Discovery Final – won the qualifier
- Blue Chip Power Final – won the qualifier

A superb foundation for a young horse entering her 6-year-old season.

ABOUT NELLY

Nelly is a lovely mare with a kind nature who always tries her heart out. She is brave, genuine and not at all spooky, taking new environments and fences in her stride. She has serious scope, a big canter and all the ingredients for bigger tracks later on.

Still naturally strengthening and developing her adjustability, she will continue to improve with time and basic flatwork – but the raw quality, temperament and ability are already there in abundance.
- Hacks alone and in company
- Enjoys XC schooling
- Easy to manage, travel and handle
- Competes in a snaffle and behaves impeccably at shows
- Makes a slight noise in her wind; scoped, vetted and passed with no issues. Open to any vetting.

A SERIOUS HORSE FOR THE FUTURE

If you’re searching for a young horse with scope, bravery, and all the talent to progress through the levels, Nelly is the one. Horses of this quality and temperament are rare.
