Locarno 62 standing at stud.

Natural, Frozen, or Fresh 

The world class Locarno 62 was purchased as a 5 year old from the PSI auction in Germany. He was bought for a staggering 1,000,000 Euros and still holds the record today as the highest priced 5 year old show jumper ever to be sold or imported to the British Isles.

He is now a world-renowned Grand Prix horse, performing with both Ellen and Steven Whitaker and winning over £200,000 in prize money.

Locarno 62 has been selected to represent Great Britain twice at the senior European Championships at San Patrignano 2005 and Mannheim 2007 at which he won the bronze medal.

He was the best British horse resulting in Great Britain qualifying for the Olympic games. Unfortunately injury kept him out of the Olympics, although he had the best performance in the European Championships and has won and been placed in major Nations Cups, Grand Prix’s and World cups across the globe.

He has won and been placed at numerous major 5 Star Grand Prix competitions and world cup events. He jumped clear twice in the Hickstead Derby and has jumped double clears in Super League Nations Cups.

Locarno 62 is a consistently successful jumper and this phenomenal dark bay stallion is bred in the purple and has the looks, temperament and movement to die for. Watch him in action in our video link.

Locarno’s young stock is also proving to be very consistent, inheriting his scopey careful jump, correct conformation, elastic movement and fantastic temperament.

His offspring; Lola V,  JB Hotstuff, Abazu, Lavarno, La Mona, Diola, to name just a few from a very limited number of mares are now following in his footsteps and being selected for Nations cups, winning and placing in world ranking classes and Grand Prix’s around the world.

  • YEAR OF BIRTH: 2017

This exceptional young horse was backed towards the end of last year then turned away for  a couple of months.  He has only been back in work for a short time. 

He is an excellent mover on the flat and  is now showing great promise around a small course of fences. 

He is still green but is improving every day.

He now has a consistent record at British Novice, as yet never having a fence down in the ring.

He would be a great one to produce for the four year old classes this year.

We have also taken him Cross Country schooling and he showed a great aptitude for this as well.

We are very excited about Lyleine, she is very low mileage having been to only two shows so far, she performed extremely well.

She has not been in work long and COVID made it impossible to get her out last year but she is now ready to go and we are very confident she will get going quickly.

She has three good paces and shows fantastic style and scope over a fence.
