About Kelseys Sports Horses

Kelseys Cover Girl

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

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

We had a really wonderful and educational day when Sports Horse Breeding GB came to assess our broodmares and the 2023 foals. All of our broodmares were graded into the Main Stud Book and Future Dark Art (Holly) was awarded Head Stud Book status! Further Holly's 2023 foal that is by Chacco Bay (Mae - Kelseys Cover Girl)  and Annie's foal by Billy Congo (Ziggy - Kelseys Red Kite) were awarded premium grade. The whole day was so interesting and the informative judges gave us great confidence in our breeding programme and inspired us for the future!!1

Great successful for our broodmares and foals

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.

Traditional Irish Sports Horse by Jackaroo (full brother to Zara Tindall's 2012 Olympic and WEG horse, High Kingdom) and Karen O' Connor's 2008 Olympic horse, Mandiba), out of a Clover Brigade mare with Sadlers Wells also in the mix. She is 88% thoroughbred and appears to be very willing, trainable and has a wonderful temperament.

Kelseys Skylark (Wilma)

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.

Chacco Bay x Wilma baby due 2024!!

Teddy was such a good 5 year old at Frickley scoring our best ever dressage score of 75% for a 25.0 in the BE100!

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!

Our best dressage score to date!

We had a great time at Aston-Le-Walls on Thursday for Wilma's 2nd Intermediate event. A much improved dressage with a score of 32.3 was followed by a huge, technical showjumping round. Whilst the lessons with Di are definitely paying off, two mistakes by horse and rider gave two poles down. However there were also very few clear rounds across the sections! The cross country course was also huge and Richard ensured Wilma had an educational and safe clear round. All topped of with a lovely picnic with Smoked Salmon and cream cheese, and cheese and tomato sandwiches on homemade bread!

Super day out at Aston-le-Walls

We are delighted to announce we have two successful heartbeat scans and one successful embryo scan.

Yesterday morning our vets came to scan Holly (Future Dark Art),  Thistle (Kelseys Thistle) and Alice (Wonderland Alice). Holly is in foal to the showjumping superstar Copain Du Perchet, who combined with Holly's dressage father (Painted Row) and her high(94%) thoroughbred blood should make for a future eventing star foal with nearly 70% blood. 
Thistle (Bazaars Exclusive(Welton Crackerjack) x Primitive Rising) is in foal to the veteran producers of top horses in all fields, Silvester. The foal again will have a high % of blood 57%, and should combine movement, jump, athletic ability and stamina.
Alice was scanned in foal to the young stallion Jacondrik. This foal will combine the bloodlines of eventing greats, Jaguar Mail, Contendro, Heraldik, Mill Law and Coevers Diamond Boy. Again a high blood % of 60%, a very exciting prospect for the future.

Broodmares in Foal for 2024!!


Annie gave birth to a super colt this evening at a very civilised time of twenty past 8! This very correct and compact colt is by Billy Congo, we are very excited.

Annie has foaled!

We had a brilliant day at Richmond with Wilma on Friday. It was her first intermediate event and she was placed 7th, qualifying us for Cornbury 7 yr old championships! 
A lovely dressage test just with a few moments of excitement meant she did not get her best score.  

One pole in the showjumping tarnished a fabulous round on a course that caused loads of issues, showing the lessons with Di Lampard are really paying off.  
Wilma then showed her amazing brave attitude on a big cross country course with some tricky combinations. She produced a confident clear cross-country run. Richard wanted to make sure she understood all the questions, so clocked a few time penalties. We are so excited about this young mare!

Wilma smashes it in first intermediate at Richmond and qualifies for the 7yr old Champs!!!


Alice did not want to wait any longer for her foal when her mates had already given birth, so here we have Felix, who arrived at a very civilised time just before midnight. Thank you so much to Jo for helping us to get him to suckle.

Gorgeous Felix

Alice would not wait and has foaled 3 weeks early!
