BILLY BARNACLE - EXCEPTIONAL 5YO SHOWJUMPER WITH HUGE FUTURE
British-bred Warmblood - 17hh approx • Bay- Mare - 5 years

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.

About

FS Mayday Duchess, known at home as Darcy, is a stunning 16.1hh 4-year-old homebred mare who oozes presence and quality. Beautifully put together, with plenty of blood and scope, she always catches the eye wherever she goes.

Darcy was broken and produced this year and has just started her British Showjumping career — showing huge promise for the future. She is the perfect type to continue up the showjumping ranks or to develop into a top eventing prospect.

Breeding


• Sire: Usher Van Overis Z
• Dam: Esandra

Competition Record

Darcy has made an impressive start to her competition career:
• Qualified for the British Novice Regional Final 2026
• Two double clears at Discovery, including one win
• £125 winnings and 69 BS points in just 11 starts
• Double clear in 7 of 11 classes – showing talent and consistency

She’s also been schooled over cross-country fences, taking everything in her stride — bold, brave, and really enjoys her work.

Temperament & Rideability

Darcy is a lovely, kind mare with a willing attitude.
• Ridden in a snaffle at all times
• Works very well on the flat with good paces and balance
• Hacks alone or in company, and is not fazed by farm machinery or activity (no roadwork due to London location)
• Good to clip, shoe, box, travel, and catch

She can be a bit of a face-puller in the stable, but is straightforward and easy to do in every other way.

The Ideal Home

Darcy is a high-quality young horse with a bright future ahead — she would suit a knowledgeable, experienced rider looking to produce a talented prospect for the age classes or bring along as a serious event horse.

She’s open to any vetting, and we offer excellent trial facilities with both indoor and outdoor arenas.

A fantastic opportunity to purchase a talented, well-bred mare with an exciting future.

We are thrilled to announce that Julian Mincher Equestrian now has its very own premises on the London/Essex border. We have recently settled into our new home at Aldborough Hall Equestrian and are excited about the future.

Since moving in, we’ve carried out extensive renovations, including transforming the indoor arena, which now boasts a state-of-the-art Andrews Bowen jumping surface.

This is truly a magical place, located just 12 miles from Trafalgar Square with excellent access to motorways and transport networks. The Central and Elizabeth Underground lines are just a mile from our yard, with Fairlop station being the nearest. From there, you can enjoy a scenic walk directly across Fairlop Waters to reach us.

Set within over 50 acres of stunning parkland, Aldborough Hall Equestrian is a charming retreat. The stables are arranged in a traditional courtyard surrounding a tranquil garden. Our indoor arena measures an impressive 60 x 25 metres, while the outdoor arena, set to undergo refurbishments in spring 2025, is a generous 100 x 60 metres. The grounds also feature a variety of permanent cross-country fences, adding to the diverse training opportunities available.

One of the highlights of Aldborough Hall is the exceptional hacking. A private track leads directly from the yard onto Fairlop Waters, where you’ll find an all-weather track that extends for miles in a circular route, ideal for year-round use. Additionally, there are grass canter tracks throughout the park, providing variety for schooling and a welcome change from arena work—all without the worry of encountering traffic.

We feel incredibly fortunate to call Aldborough Hall Equestrian our home and are delighted to share this wonderful place with our clients and horses.

At JME, we offer bespoke services to cater to you and your horse’s needs, including competition livery, professional training, and full livery options.

“Sunny” is a beautifully put-together gelding with a wonderful temperament and a super attitude to life. Homebred by ourselves, he’s been slowly and carefully produced and is now confidently jumping up to Foxhunter level. Despite giving him plenty of time to see if he’d sharpen up, he remains delightfully laid-back — which makes him an absolute dream to handle, but not quite the sharp type we prefer for our string.

He’s brave and straightforward in the arena, well-mannered at home and at shows, and behaves impeccably on the ground. He’s also been cross-country schooling and took everything in his stride — calm, willing, and genuine throughout.

On the flat, he works correctly with three good paces and established changes. Out hacking, he’s good as gold — he might pretend to be spooky now and then, but never in a naughty way.

Sunny has no vices or medical issues, is sound, and open to any vetting. He’s happily ridden by a range of riders, from more experienced to less confident, and is the same genuine chap for all of them.

His older siblings are out competing and winning at higher levels — they’ve simply inherited a bit more “go”! We think Sunny could make a lovely all-rounder, hunter, or amateur’s competition horse, and we’d love to find him his perfect forever home where his easy-going nature will be appreciated.
