About Kelseys Sports Horses

Kelseys Mr Fox

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)

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)

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)

Jill is all our Christmas's together in one horse as her breeding is a list of the Irish greats! She is by William Micklem's stallion, Jackaroo, who is by the great Master Imp, but is also full brother to 5* legends High Kingdom and Mandiba. Her dam line boasts Cruising, King of Diamonds and Sky Boy! Her full brother has recently been bought by Irish Olympic rider, Sam Watson. Her uncle has just completed the 4* International at Boekelo 2023. She is currently being rehabiliated for a field injury, but we are hoping she can return to full work very soon.

Grafendor HVS (Griff)

Kelseys Painted Lady (Mabille)

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)

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)

Ridden by Bruce Haskell to 4* level. Long listed for Tokyo olympics. Kind nature and lovely attitude.

Amiro Sky

**UPDATE**
Unfortunately we have had to put Lochie to sleep as he was diagnosed with a Lymphosarcoma which untreatable. A very sad loss of a beautiful, kind and talented horse.

Different Times known as Lochie, is most definitely bred to event. He was bought as a 3 year old from Ireland where he won a loose jumping competition, and he can definitely jump! He has a gentle and kind temperament, loves all the other horses and being with us. Richard has backed him this year but due to his size we are taking him slowly.

Lochie, "Different Times"

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 Ballyhoe Lass (Ruby)

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.

We are so pleased to welcome Helen as an owner of our exciting rising 5 Year old Archie (Future Dark Pleasure). Archie has 3 fabulous paces and huge scope over a jump. he also has a affable temperament and is very trainable. We still have a couple of shares in Archie available. 2024 will be very exciting!

Delighted to welcome Helen Pearson as an owner to our team
