Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

Arkol by Argentinus  AES jumping stallion carrying the torch for Harthill Stud producing modern performance athletes.

Harthill Studs’ stallion Arkol is setting breeders alight, this trail blazing modern and successful performance stallion.

Arkol is a son of Argentinus – also the sire of Nick Skelton’s former top ride, Arko lll – Arkol is known for his trainable attitude and athletic ability, already making a name for himself on the showjumping circuit.

Arkol has been competed by William Whitaker, one of the top professionals listed on the Horse Scout website, who likes the ride he gives so much he tweets about it when he visits Harthill Stud to ride him!

Arkol has been much admired since winning the 4 year old class at The British Showjumping National Championship at the Scope Festival in 2011.  He has since consistently won 5 year old classes at Arena UK, Adoldington and Scope. In 2013, Arkol has had three wins in the Six Year Old Tour in Valencia.

Arkol is now jumping 1.45m classes in the 7 year old series. The British Stallion Event at Harptbury was the first stallion parade attended by Harthill Stud’s young show jumping stallion Arkol made easy work of the up to height jumps William Whitaker displayed him over.

Nina Barbour said of Arkol: “Again, all that we say about him was displayed with his very good attitude, scope and quality. William is looking forward to producing Arkol on the International circuit further in 2015, and has no concerns that he will be restricted in anyway when his time comes to jump the biggest classes in the sport.”

Arkol, by Argentinus is a type hard to find, bringing a superb temperament alongside the quality needed to put on most jumping mares being covered to produce a modern athlete. Arkol’s Sire – Argentinus – prolific sire of world class sports horses, both in dressage and jumping. Including the infamous Arko III, who also passes on his talent through his progeny – this is seen in Argento and Air Jordan Z to name but two.

Arkol’s Dam is Kolibri who has 16 approved sons and more than 60 state premium mares.

Performance Sports Event Stallion: Exclusive

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

A covetable stallion, Exclusive offers his first offspring this year.

Exclusive is a good looking Dutch Warmblood Stallion with Emily Llewellyn, known as Kevin at home, at Paddock Woods Stud. Standing 16.2hh, this handsome black event horse is a proven performance Eventing Stallion with the best British blood lines.

Campaigned by The Mayfly Syndicate, Exclusive won the Novice at Chatsworth International Horse Trials earlier this month.

British Eventing Magazine describe Exclusive as ‘A covetable black stallion’ with some very good British Eventing results to date, including winning his first novice at five years old. He has five foals due this year.

Emily Llewellyn says she bought Exclusive at the Brightwells sales, because he looked like Totilas!” Exclusive is proving a well judged buy – “He’s so confident within himself” said Emily “but the best part is how reliable he is on a day-to-day basis. He just comes out and works the same every day.”

Paddock Wood Stallions describe Exclusive as a lovely genuine and very talented young stallion. He is a beautiful modern type and combines the most laid back approach to life with a huge enthusiasm to work and to please. He is a lovely gentle nature and very straightforward to ride. This is his second season at stud, his first crop are due this spring.

We have great hopes for him in his Eventing career. In 2014 he had outstanding form and was only out of the top 10 once; he won his first Novice and won several other events. Exclusive is listed in the top 20 BE stallions for 2014 and is now a licensed stallion with Breeders Elite Studbook.

Exclusives sire Warrant made his international debut under Henk van der Pol in the winter of 2011/12, performing very well at 1.50 level, and now 1.60m. In April 2012 he was 10th in the Dutch Championships, by far the least experienced competitor at this level.

Meanwhile his eldest offspring, Wiranta Z, has been sold to Stuart Harvey in England and is impressing hugely. With Exclusive Grand Sire also proving himself as a top performance horse and sire of elite offspring.

Opposition Bombshell – what a stunner! Catherston Stud Hampshire Sports Performance Stallion bred to Event.

Handsome and strong black 16hh Trakehner Stallion Opposition Bombshell is a very eye-catching horse with tremendous presence, a beautiful head and  a good length of rein.

His paces are bold, expressive, and off the ground. Opposition Bomshell is standing at The Catherston Stud in Hampshire. His profile on Horse Scout shows he is SHB – GB Graded Fully Licenced with the AESB.

Unfortunately as a 4 year old opposition, Bombshell injured himself in the field so has not competed himself. He had four foals in his first crop in 2012, 3 of whom were presented at the BEF Futurity Evaluations, all 3 were awarded Higher Firsts, which gained opposition Bombshell 2nd in the Eventing Stallion Rankings.

He is standing 3rd in the All Time Sire Component Rankings on the BEF Futurity List.

He would make an excellent choice for breeders looking to add some quality: All-rounder, Dressage, Eventer, Jumpers / Show Jumper, Showing, Sports General.

Astrix KWPN Dressage Stallion

KWPN Dressage Stallion: Astrix

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

ASTRIX – This Serene Stallion holds the World Champion Young Dressage Horse Hat Trick – LG Stud

Astrix, a handsome Black KWPN/Dutch 16.3hh Warmblood dressage stallion is put forward for nominations by LG Sports Horses.

For the UK breeder, it is useful to note that Astrix has been admitted to the KWPN, Oldenburger Verband and the Hannoveraner Verband. This serene stallion showed off his obedience and alertness even under pressure of very inclement weather at his stallion grading. Astrix kept his performance steady and was rewarded with a well deserved 9.6 for his trot, one of the highest grades ever!

Emmelie Scholtens rode Astrix in the World Championship for Young Dressage Horses in Verden and took the title for them both when he was five and repeated this when Astrix turned six .

Astrix’s family tree on his Horse Scout stallion profile page is brief and belies the string of champions he follows. His pedigree is perfect for his dressage career.

Astrix’s successful Grand Prix Sire, Obelisk, has many progeny competing at national dressage level. Obelisks’ son Tango is currently ridden at Grand Prix level by Canadian Cheryl Meisner. From his mother’s line, the ‘keur’ stallion Olivi (Jaxx + Aktion), also competes at Grand Prix. Olivi is the father of stallion UB40, a KWPN admitted stallion (Michelangelo) and Universal (Zuidhorn). Olivi’s son Triviant (Saluut) is also Grand Prix.

Astrix’s dam bloodline can be traced through Lady Réveil from Wittenstein van E. van Binsbergen, Zuilen. Also descending from the dam is Grand Prix qualified Jasper (Ferro x Tesdoorn f. Luckboyxx). Astrix carries Jazz in third generation and is free of Flemmingh and Gribaldi blood.

With his first crop in 2012, Asterix’ succeeding foals have all got his elegant blood stamp.

Showjumping Stallion: Tornesch

World Cup Show Jumper Stallion Tornesch: Lux Z x Libero H x Caletto I Holstien Bloodlines sire of Turmalin.

This fantastic stallion is hugely successful on the international showjumping scene, and he has been placed in so many World Cup competitions that the list is too long for this blog!

In just the last two years, his competition records stands as:
In 2014, Malin and Tornesch were
4th in the World Cup Table A at the CSI5*-W Gothenburg,
3rd in the Grand Prix Table A at the CSI5* Villach, Treffen,
3rd in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup at the CSIO5* Dublin,
2nd in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup at the CSIO5* Barcelona, and
4th in the Longines FEI World Cup at the CSI5*-W Verona.

In 2013 they were:
2nd in the VDL Group Prize and
4th in the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping at the CSI5*-W s’Hertogenbosch and went on to compete successfully in the
World Cup Finals in Gothenburg placing 6th.
Tornesch had to have his eye after the World Cup, however, Malin reported to the Chronicle of the Horse that she thinks Tornesch is better than ever.
The two then won the CSIO3* Nations Cup round in Poland
4th in the GP CSI5* Lyon and
4th in the GPW CSI5* d’Helsinki.

This wonderful stallion has jumped an enviable number of clear rounds at this level and breeders looking for a jumping stallion can rest assured that Tornesch passes this quality and his enviable mechanics to his progeny. Selects Stallions have listed Tornesch on Horse Scout. His stallion profile confirms that Tornesch was ranked best upcoming stallion in Sweden in 2013.

His offspring carry his stamp of quality, they are light in type with lots of blood. Crucially they also possess good jumping skills and balance with intelligence and super rideabillity. Tornesch’s foal crop are uniformly elegant and leggy, very modern foals.

His breeding underpins his ability in the world class showjumping arena with three of the best breeding stallions in his bloodline – Lux Z x Libero H x Caletto I.

Lux Z is one of the most successful horses of today in the international showjumping ring. Piloted by Swedish showjumping rider Malin Bayard, this spectacular bay stallion placed at Grand Prix and Nations Cup shows of Rotterdam, London, Stockholm, Paris and Verona. The combination was also part of the winning team at the 2012 Falsterbo Top League Nations Cup. Tornesch’s excellent pedigree goes back to three of the world’s best stallions in a row: Lux Z, Libero H and Caletto I.

In Tornesch’s dam line, we find among others the international showjumping horses Lennox and Pinkfloyd de Maibelle.

Tornesch produced the Swedish approved stallion Turmalin (Tornesch x Cortez), who at this moment belongs to the most talented horses in Sweden.

Torneschs’ three year old son Hyperion (x Charisma elite eptm-(spr) s; Cornet Obolensky) has been graded by KWPN in their Spring Stallion parade this year.

Dowland KO Bo Diddley

Dowland K.O. Bo Diddley : Brownscombe Stud

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

A small but perfectly formed Dowland K.O. Bo Diddley BWBS Stallion standing at Brownscombe Stud.

A BWBS 15hh Trakhener, Dowland K.O. Bo Diddley, an ideal sire to produce competition ponies and small competition horses. Considered by the grading judges to be “an improver type with good elasticity”, Dowland K.O. Bo Diddley was The Reserve Champion of the Sports Pony Studbook Society at the 2009 Grading and made history by becoming the first pure Trakehner to Grade as a Sports Pony Stallion, Dowland K.O. Bo Diddley carries some of the best dressage bloodlines.

Dowland K.O. Bo Diddley has an outstanding temperament and a superb loose jump. He carries some of the best dressage bloodlines and his foals, out of a variety of mares, have all inherited his lovely athletic movement and temperament. His oldest progeny will be backed in 2014/5. Horse Scout is looking forward to seeing their profiles uploaded and watching their progress.

At his grading, Dowland K.O. Bo Diddleyey scored a nine for his canter, which was described by the judges Lynne Crowden and Geoff Glazzard as “athletic” with “good cadence and engagement of hindquarters”. The judges described his loose jumping as having “natural freedom and a lot of scope”.

Bo has been backed and brought on slowly, and is proving to be exceptionally trainable.

Dowland K.O. Bo Diddleys’ sire Holme Park Kalibre is a full brother to the graded Trakehner stallion Holme Park Krug. Kalibre is no longer entire and Bo is his only entire son, and his Dam Holme Grove Cezanne is a graded BWBS pony mare.

This is a lovely small stallion and well worth checking out.
