Farm Breeding Programme
Each season
we breed a small number of quality Warmblood foals from our carefully
selected mares. With an aim to produce predominantly
jumping horses, we breed with mares and stallions that first and
foremost display excellent temperaments and trainability, natural
scope and athleticism, proven jumping bloodlines and superior type.
It stands to reason that horses with these attributes also have
very good movement and the mechanics and versatility to perform
in other disciplines as well.
We handle our young horses regularly from birth and thoroughly enjoy
establishing their early ground-work training through to bringing
them along under saddle and ready for competition.
Some of these
horses may be available for sale.
Please enquire!

"Astek
Guy Fox"
Breed: Hanoverian/Thoroughbred
Born: November 6th 2008
Height: Mature approx 16.2hh+
Colour: Bay
Bred
via frozen semen by "Gymnastik
Star" (Glueckspilz / Calypso II) out of Thoroughbred
mare "Sugar Rush".
Guy Fox has a great character filled face with lovely big
eyes and a fantastic temperament - very calm, trianable
and friendly. Being out of a Thoroughbred mare has given
him added athleticism, elegance and scope which, combined
with his naturally bouncy uphill movement and expected jumping
ability, should see him develop into a very handsome, versatile
and talanted competition horse, especially for showjumping
or eventing.

to be her forte! Now going very kindly under saddle, Radiance
