About Kelseys Sports Horses

Kelseys Red Kite

Archie is our very handsome but leggy rising 5 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.

Future Dark Pleasure (Archie)

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)

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 Mr Fox

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)

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)

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)

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 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)

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

Amiro Sky

Flynn is one of our 2022 foals.  He has a superb temperament and is very straight and correct. We are very excited about him and as a result have decided to repeat the mating of Alice to LePrince des Bois for 2023.

Kelseys Red Admiral (Flynn)

We are delighted to announce kelseys sports horses has moved to Stanbrook farm near Hartpury in Gloucestershire. The move went swifty and all the horses are happy in their new surrounds. We are hoping the move will elevate the business to new heights. 

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.
