About Kelseys Sports Horses

Alice is a broodmare. She is a super stamp of a horse, “leg at each corner”, correct conformation and a tough constitution, but with enough blood and kind temperament is an excellent broodmare. She has had 3 foals with us, all by LePrince des Bois (Freddie, Flynn and Felix). These boys are all proving to be trainable and have a kind, willing temperament. Alice in foal for 2024 to the promising young stallion, Jacondrik. He combines the blood lines of Jaguar Mail, Contendro and Heraldik and together with Alice's lines of Mill Law and Coever's Diamond Boy, the foal should be a top prospect!

Alice, "Wonderland Alice"

Buzz is a big gentle giant. He has a positive attitude to his work and is showing lots of potential in flat and pole work. He has a fantastic jump that he gets from his parents. He is being produced for sale and Richard would love to invite owners to buy shares in him to keep the ride.

Boleybawn Apollo (Buzz)

We bought Heidi as a 2 year old from her breeder, Diana Scott, who stood the great stallion Ben Faerie. Inevitably, Heidi's pedigree reads like a Who's Who of eventing. Her great granddam is full sister to the legendary 5* and Olympic/European/World champion, Priceless. Other eventing greats in her family include Welton Louis, who was an advanced eventer and competed up to Prix St George dressage with Pammy Hutton, It's Without Doubt sired numerous eventers including the 5* Doubtless, William, Abbeyside Mist was an advanced eventing mare a descendant of the legends Sky Boy and King of Diamonds, and of course she has the home stallion Ben Faerie in her family tree twice (4x4). She has a kind temperament and a trainable attitude.  Heidi is in foal to the Group 2 winner, thoroughbred stallion, Mildenberger, for 2024.

Brendonhill Highley Probable (Heidi)

Percy is an honest, leg at each corner Irish Sports Horses, Richard has bought to produce for sale. He has a wonderful calm temperament, is very trainable, hacks out on his own etc. He is also very talented, and whilst the dressage is work in progress while he grows and strengthens, he has a correct and bold jump and loves his cross country. He would make a wonderful event/all rounder horse for a competitive amateur of young rider.

Casanova Lad (Percy)

Twiggy was bought as a weanling in December 2021 for her tremendous breeding and also her sports potential. Her sire needs no introduction, with a long career representing GB with William Funnell culminating in a team Gold medal at the European Championships in 2013. He has many successful offspring in both showjumping and eventing, including Billy Buckingham who represented GB at WEG. Twiggy's dam is full sister to 5* eventer Fernhill Skyport and is part of the hugely successful Porter Rhodes/Sky Boy family that was, in part, what made the Irish so important in breeding event horses.

Future Congo Sky (Twiggy)

We are very excited about our broodmare, Holly. She has produced 3 stunning, quality foals, all with a trainable and kind temperament (Archie, Mavis and Mabille). She passes on floating paces combined with a natural ability to jump and is descended from some of the best thoroughbred lines in the world. In 2023, she has had a proper supermodel, Mae, by Chacco Bay, born on the day Tina Turner died. She is having a break in 2024.

Future Dark Art (Holly)

Archie is our very handsome but leggy 4 year old, out of Holly (Future Dark Art) by the award winning  and life graded stallion, Future Guilty Pleasure. Archie has a wonderful temperament, 3 correct paces and a superb jump. He is going to be a big chap so we will take him slowly in his education. He was awarded a Gold in his Futurity Assessment in 2020.  We are now backing him and are also looking for syndicate owners for him who would like to be part of his journey right from the very start! His sire is now competing at Intermediate level Eventing so we have high hopes for Archie.

Grafendor HVS (Griff)

Teddy is an exceptionally well balanced 5 year old with 3 correct superb paces and an impressive jump, his lovely trainable temperament is something that will take him to the top. His breeding cries out "top event horse",  with 3 legendary eventing sires in his blood, Grafenstolz, Heraldik and Welton Crackerjack.

Teddy was entered into the British Futurity eventing section in 2020 and came 3rd nationally in the 2 year old section. He has a very exciting future ahead of him. He is being produced for sale by Richard and we would love to find some syndicate owners for him so he can stay here!

HVS Royale Graffiti (Teddy)

Ruby is a talented young mare who has shown her abilities in dressage and showjumping. However she was not happy going off the yard and lost her confidence. So we have given her a new job as a recipient mare, which she has definitely taken to!  Ruby is carrying a very precious package for 2024, an embryo taken from Wilma (Kelseys Skylark) by the exciting young showjumping stallion, Chacco Bay.

Kelseys Painted Lady (Mabille)

Freddie was our first foal,  born in lockdown in May 2020. He is by the multiple 5* eventing stallion, LePrince des Bois and inherits his wonderful temperament. His mum is Alice, our lovely broodmare by the great British sire Mill Law, out of a Coevers Diamond Boy mare. He is growing to be a very strong and sturdy boy and is great at babysitting the younger horses.

Kelseys Prince (Freddie)

We are very excited to announce we have a successful embryo transfer from Wilma, by the exciting young stallion, Chacco Bay. Ruby is carrying this precious package and we know she will make a wonderful Mum! Both parents have a kind and willing attitude to work and bucket loads of talent. What an exciting baby expected in 2024.
