About Kelseys Sports Horses

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.

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"

We bought Annie, Bobby's mum in foal in April 2021 from June Hunter who was looking for a good home for Annie. In July 2021, Bobby came along and what a stunning foal he is. Bold and brave from the outset, he is a very straight foal with excellent conformation. His breeding is exceptional, his sire being the young connemara stallion, Glencarrig Tempest, who is full brother to Glencarrig Dolphin, who is represented GB in the European Eventing Championships in 2022. Their pedigree boasts the legend, Ashfield Bobby Sparrow, who Bobby is named after. 
His mum,  Annie, is by the great and brave top eventing sire OBOS Quality 004 out of a thoroughbred mare by Mister Lord. He has a willing, kind nature and a fantastic bold jump. 

Kelseys Stardust (Bobby)

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.

Kelseys Star Quality (Annie)

Thistle has been with us since she was a 2 year old and has been a proper family horse, ridden by all the family, and has competed up to BE100 before an injury ended her career as a sports horse. She is a tough little horse and a brilliant broodmare, with lovely expressive paces. Her breeding for producing eventers is impeccable being by Bazaars Exclusive (Ex-Welton Crackerjack) who is sire of B Exclusive, Lizzie Baugh's 4* home bred and numerous other eventers, all with superb trainability. Her dam is by the legendary Primitive Rising, he also has produced eventers competing with both amateurs and professionals. She is the dam of Louis (2021) and Cilla (2023), in whom we combine Welton Crackerjack, Primitive Rising, Skippy and Sea Crest! For 2024 she is in foal to the award-winning sire, Sylvester, who is renowned for passing his multi-talents on to his progeny. Exciting!!

Kelseys Thistle (Thistle)

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)

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)

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.

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 Springtide (Louis)

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
