Well the weather was horrific but nothing could dampen our delight at seeing baby Flick (Flora’s Blackjack Trick) embark on her very first solo steps on the lunge! 🤩 What a privilege it is to be able to work with a foal you bred, helping establish her future ridden career 🥰

Pearl is looking for her human! 🤩🤍💛
Incredibly special double dilute warmblood filly by Hilkens All Cream, out of our beloved KWPN mare (both eventing bloodlines - see pedigree below).
Pearl is dual purpose bred to excel in any job. She is an incredibly similar stamp to her beautiful father (see photos) and she promises to have inherited both parent’s athletic movement, scopey jump, correct conformation and kind, trainable temperament to perform under saddle in the competition or show ring.
Pearl is an equally exciting prospect for anyone wanting to breed stunning palomino or buckskin babies, with cream dilution guaranteed from any stallion.
Pearl has been born and raised on a busy livery yard, so she is used to dogs, tractors and children. She is halter trained and will stand all day to be fussed and groomed. She’ll be weaned, AES passported and ready to go in November. Deposit secures until weaning.
Please get in touch for more info/ photos/ videos 😊

Totally Divine 😍 (Totillah x DiMaggio x Michellino) filly

Known as “Toff” to her friends, Totally Divine is looking for her human!
Toff has an impeccable pedigree for dressage, but she also has Olympic eventers in her family… and a dressage dad who jumps 1m 50 courses for fun… which makes her an exciting prospect not just for dressage, but for eventing, SJ or she would equally make a top level Riding Horse, LW Working Hunter or side saddle superstar in the show ring 🤩🏆
Toff is an amateur’s dream for someone who wants to float around on a beautiful, elegant mahogany bay and with her supermodel legs, she’ll easily make 16.3 hh. Toff has all of the talent that goes with her pedigree, but with an incredibly sweet, easy and trainable temperament - without being sharp. She has 3 off the floor, balanced and correct paces to go with faultless conformation. Toff is by the up and coming dressage star, Totillah, who was voted the dressage sire of 2023 and is son of the three times World and European champion Totilas… the first ever dressage horse to score over 90% in a freestyle grand prix, breaking the world record! Toff is out out of our fabulous Dimaggio mare, Diva, from another world famous family tree.
Toff has grown up on a busy livery yard, she comes to call and she regularly sees dogs, cars and tractors. Toff is halter trained, she adores being fussed and groomed and she’s been handled by a child.
She’ll be weaned, AES passported and ready to go in November.
Deposit secures until weaning.

Banksy is looking for his human 💜
Banksy will be an amateur’s dream for someone who wants a beautiful, head-turning dark brown c**t foal to make 16.3 hh. Bansky is by the young international dressage stallion Ketcher B out of a Dimaggio mare, so he is fabulously bred, with big, uphill movement, 3 balanced and correct paces, faultless conformation and an incredibly kind, easy-going and trainable temperament - without him being sharp. With his pedigree packed full of international and Olympic champions (such as Negro, sire of our world famous double Olympic dressage champion, Valegro), Banksy has all the ingredients to do any job and he will also be your best friend. Banksy has grown up on a busy livery yard, he is halter trained and comes to call and he regularly sees dogs, cars, tractors, etc. He’ll be weaned, AES passported and ready to go in October. Please PM for more info/ photos/ videos 😊
