A little about the breeding:
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%.

His 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 foals to be born who will be 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 yearling too! A yearling filly out of a well bred mare who competed at the top, internationally and consistently at 1.40.

• Safe, well schooled genuine young horse with a fantastic jump & great work ethic
• Home bred & professionally handled from birth. Slowly & carefully produced, she is an absolute star.
• This lovely young mare is a pleasure in every way and could not be any more straight forward or easy

There is some serious jumping talent to be found in this very beautiful young mare’s filly's pedigree and with a string mother line, her dam Zievident is has already produced a 3*Eventer.

Due to a lack of a rider this hugely talented, straight forward and easy going natured young mare is currently available. Low mileage but quality training and exposure to outside venues where it counts. Ziggy represents a fantastic opportunity for a safe, sensible, talented young horse who is currently on an upward trajectory and has huge potential as well as being straight forward and a pleasure to ride.

She is sensible, willing, well schooled and safe to ride alone, in company, at shows, on the road and in open spaces. She is a massively exciting young horse with a tremendous work ethic for the future and she is a joy to handle and ride anywhere.
This lovely looking girl is powerfully built, with a big trot, lovely uphill, balanced canter and a ground covering gallop. She has style, presence and she has unbelievably good manners in all situations for such a young horse.

GFS Zingalina was bred to compete and whether it is to show jump, event or even perhaps dressage, she has already shown potential in all three of these disciplines after only her first three months under saddle in 2024.

She was turned away towards the end of last year as a four year old and brought back into work in February. At the end of April a foot abscess frustratingly put her out of work until June, she is now back in work and better than ever. She is starting to reach a good level of fitness having been carefully conditioned and has started schooling over grids nicely with a view to getting her out to start her competitive career.
To school she is soft, obedient, snaffle mouthed and an absolute pleasure to work with.

This young mare represents an enormously exciting prospect for anyone looking to produce a young horse with ambitions to aim high without the stress of a highly strung, silly, spooky or awkward character. She is. As genuine and honest as they come and is a sort seriously difficult to source.

Ziggy has a big lovable character, she exhibits great intelligence and has a natural aptitude for rapid understanding and willingness to cooperate. She is a motivated youngster with a superb attitude under saddle. She loves work and approaches all challenges with enthusiasm and maximum effort. If she was not so young and relatively inexperienced, you could almost put a novice on her. I have not ridden for over fifteen years and due to necessity through lack of rider, I am confidently hacking her out and feeling well looked after.

Last summer she went from lightly backed to achieving 7th in a highly competetive BYEH 4 year old class at Howick, even following a five hour traffic stoppage on the M5 and ten minutes to warm up before her class! This was after only three months under saddle!!
Ziggy has attended several training shows - dressage and SJ, she has been to a number of arena hires, cross country and hacks on roads or across the vast expanse of Dartmoor in a snaffle, always exhibiting superb manners and a calm, sensible approach.
She loads and travels well, comes to call, she is vice free, superb with the farrier, dentist and to worm.
She stands beautifully at shows and demonstrates behavior well beyond her years and experience. She is vice free, up to date with her vaccinations, teeth and recently thoroughly checked by Amy Cox physiotherapist with no issues identified.

This is a genuinely serious prospect for the future and a horse who has got so much talent, such a generous spirit and who is absolutely everybody's best friend. She is suitable for almost any rider and sure to win the heart of anyone lucky enough to call her their own.

In terms if her breeding, this filly has exceptional jumping lines throughout her pedigree. Her dam is by the super GP showjumping stallion Karandasj, who is a stallion renowned for both his jumping ability and rideability. A top WBFSH ranked sire of both eventers and showjumpers.
Zievident's dam was an International GP dressage mare with a fascinating amalgamation of both dressage and showjumping bloodlines and by the KWPN stallion Hofnar. This is a very strong motherline and it has shone through in her offspring to date.

Her sire the AES Graded stallion GFS Eskimo Jo. His sire whom we also own is currently competing Novice level BE with both the scope and talent to progress once the season recommences! His dam was a Graded Holsteiner by Corrado I out of a Landgraf mare.
Sired by our own young stallion Paddy of Liosin. His bloodlines are predominantly of show jumping providence. His sire is Crown's Ace of Pearl a stallion who has been campaigned extensively as show jumper, dressage and eventer, he is by the ZfdP International GP show jumping stallion, Crown's Blue Pearl. A horse bred from the rare and multi talented Kinsky breeding program and infused with high performance thoroughbred bloodlines. The German stallion A-Dur compliments this impressive jumping providence.

Paddy's dam is by Olympic Lux (Lux Z/Lord Calando/Ahorn Z x Ahorn/Nimmerdor/Vicomte Grandieux), the KWPN stallion and prolific sire of of over 15 show jumpers and 15 eventers, all competing at top level. His sire, Lux Z has made an enormous impact on Holsteiner sports breeding. As well as being an Olympic show jumper he has sired over 60 show jumpers and significant numbers of both eventers and dressage horses.

GFS Eskimo Jo’s dam, N-She's All, was a Head Stud Book and premium graded Holsteiner and 100% jump bred. Her sire, Corrado is yet another Olympian with over 120 show jumping progeny to date. He is considered as the founder of a Holsteiner sire line of his own! In his stallion performance test he scored an unprecedented 10 for both his loose jump and that under saddle.
Corrado is by Cor de la Bryere, a stallion that revolutionised the jumping horses' breeding. He too had an incredible impact in Holsteiner and he occurs in more than 80% of the top performance pedigrees as well as being credited with improving the breed's jumping technique.

Corrado's dam, Soleil was a Nations Cup eventer and was herself by the extraordinary jumper, Capitol I, a stallion known to have 'put wings' on a legion of offspring.

Holsatia IX, GFS Eskimo Jo’s G Dam was by the show jumping Olympian/World Championship stallion Landgraf I. Labeled by many as the 'stallion of the Century'.
