About Kelseys Sports Horses

Kelseys Mazurka (Flash)

OBL Killy Cramp Candy

Kelseys Mr Fox

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.

We bought Annie in April 2021. Her owner was unable to look after her any more and we were very happy to give her a permanent home. She is a beautiful mare who has had a difficult start in her early life, before her previous owner rescued her. She is by the great eventing and showjumping sire OBOS Quality 004 who competed at Grand Prix and Nations Cup showjumping. His offspring include showjumping Olympian Castlefield Eclipse and Nations Cup mare Lisona. In eventing his progeny are renowned for massive paces and being super brave. They include Pippa Funnell's MGH Grafton Street and Piggy March's Brookfield Quality, with numerous others also.
Annie's dam is by the great thoroughbred Mister Lord who has produced top event horses worldwide. Annie has enough TB blood (65%) to breed some super eventers and show jumpers.  We haven't seen her jump, but know she can clear at least 1.2m over an electric fence without touching it!
Her foals are Bobby (by the connemara Glencarrig Tempest) and Ziggy (by the prolific showjumping sire and Nations Cup winner, Billy Congo). She is having a break in 2024.

Louis is our two year old out of Thistle, our Bazaars Exclusive (Welton Crackerjack) x Primitive Rising mare. His dad is the award winning Irish draught stallion, Skip and Sea, whose pedigree boasts Skippy, sire of the great Jumbo, and Sea Crest, sire of the great Cruising. He is certainly bred to event and we are really excited about what the future holds for him. He has 3 very expressive paces and can already really gallop!

Kelseys Red Kite

Mavis is another of our lockdown foals, born in May 2020. She is a very elegant and beautiful filly with a lovely nature, touched with a bit of sassy spirit, just like her mum (Holly). She has 3 floating paces and a big jump! We know this as once walking out to the field with her mum, she decided to pop a 90cm dry stone wall with a 1.10m drop on the other side!

Kelseys Song Thrush (Mavis)

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.

Kelseys Meadowsweet

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.

Kelseys Painted Lady (Mabille)

Kelseys Sports Horses has relocated!

Very excited to announce the arrival of a new broodmare Amiro Sky.
Tiggi competed at 4* level very successfully by the New Zealand rider Bruce Haskell. We are looking forward to what the future holds for her as one of our broodmares as she has excellent breeding and the temperament and attitude to match.

Amiro Sky

My name is Emma Hallam. I have been involved with horses for the last 20 years. I spent several years working for a national saddle supplier where I  gained a huge amount of knowledge about saddles and saddle fitting. I have since branched out on my own so that I can extend the service I offer by supplying several different makes of saddles to suit all budgets. My main focus is customer service and 98% of my work comes from recommendations from existing clients. I offer a full money back guarantee and no obligation saddle consultations. I am a fully qualified SMS saddle fitter and a qualified SMS saddler.
