For the 2025 stud season the following stallions will be standing at Appleton Grange Stud

ACADO, winner of the 2024 Horse of the Year Show award for Coloured Sire of the Year.
This 142cm homozygous CHAPS graded German Riding Pony Stallion is the only coloured stallion in the UK to have sired a coloured pony cuddy finalist, the late Parkdene music man bred by Parkdene stud. The sire of Lostock Mary Poppins, a multiple HOYS and RI finalist, his presence and movement shines through his progeny. His versatility and outstanding temperament is injected into his offspring with many successfully excelling in a variety of disciplines including HOYS, RI with many prolific show ponies and also successful FEI and showjumping ponies.
Frozen semen and Natural Cover.

LOSTOCK CANDYMAN, owned by Caroline Hamilton, stood 3rd at the 2024 Horse of the Year Show in the Price Family Supreme In-hand Horse final. By Huntsman and out of Wisteria Lane, this 165cm homozygous CHAPS graded stallion’s bloodlines also include the famous KWPN Cavalier. He possesses a fabulous temperament, expressive movement and quality limb, which he passes on to his progeny. He's very versatile and would suit competition mares just as much as show mares.

OMARCOS FIRST FOUNDATION. This young 15.2hh CHAPS graded coloured stallion is son to Omarco KWPN who sired many top level show and sports horses. With his fabulous conformation and a great turn of front, he will refine and add presence to his offspring while still being substantial and athletic enough to follow his bloodline to breed eventing/showjumping stock. We have bred multiple beautiful foals of our own by him in the last few seasons, each having outstanding qualities and all being sold into a great versatility of homes where many will go on to BD, BE and show. His older foals have already started making an appearance on the showing circuit and we look forward to seeing the first out under saddle in the showing circuit in the near future.
Frozen semen and Natural Cover.

✨FROZEN SEMEN✨

We are very excited to announce that at the beginning of this month our two resident stallions took a little trip down to stallion AI to be collected from and we can now officially say that we have Frozen semen available for both O’marcos First Foundation and Acado.

Both stallions are now on the stallion AI register which can be found online.

They will both continue being available for Natural cover moving forwards and O’marcos First Foundation for chilled AI.

Anyone wishing to purchase any frozen semen or booking in mares for next season please get in touch and we can discuss further. Please note that doses for frozen semen are limited so please don’t hesitate to get in touch to avoid missing out.

A few photos of the boys on their arrival are attached (of course the first thing bodie had to do was check the bed was comfy enough) we would like to thank Stallion AI Services very much for taking such good care of them while they were away.

We had a wonderful evening last night at Horse of the Year Show receiving the Coloured Sire of the Year for our much loved stallion Acado.

Thank you so much to Richard and Lisha Leeman of the Kellythorpe Stud for sponsoring this amazing series for breeders.

Also thank you once again to Caroline Hamilton of Lostock Stud who has been our mentor for many years, sourced Acado and very kindly allowed us to purchase him from her in 2019.

And lastly congratulations to all those with Acado progeny that competed in the 2024 HOYS qualifiers and thank you all whole heartedly for your contribution towards us receiving this award. We would love to see pics of Acado progeny in the comments below.

Acado will be available for natural cover in 2025 to a limited number of mares. If you would like to nominate your mare for next year, then do please send us a PM.
