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 will be an amateur’s dream for someone who wants a beautiful, head-turning dark brown c**t foal to make 16.3 hh.

So in the final moments of Coronation Day, Flora (Soolmoy Clover Man) gave us this beautiful (and huge) palomino c**t by Hilkens All Cream. So of course, we simply HAD to call him King! 👑

13/04/2023

Then just 3 hours later we welcomed Shara’s phenomenal c**t foal by Totillah x Dunhill Desert Storm/Rubioso N… we were so excited about this boy’s arrival but you can imagine our reaction when he arrived wearing his buckskin coat! Absolutely breathtaking 😍

13/04/2023

So we had a busy bank holiday at Skilts… first to arrive was Diva’s most perfect c**t foal by Ketcher B x Dimaggio/ Michellino, now known to his friends as Banksy. He has the looks and legs of a super model and he sure knows how to rock his PJ’s! Absolutely over the moon with this special boy 🥰

Doodle is looking for her human! 💕
Stunningly beautiful buckskin tobiano Warmblood filly to make 16.2 hh by event stallion Dunhill Desert (Dundee) out of our beloved KWPN mare, Doodle has been carefully bred to do any job; from eventing, dressage, showing, showjumping or being somebody’s best friend. Doodle is fabulously bred to perform (pedigree below) and she combines huge, off the floor paces with the boldness, technique and athleticism for jumping, faultless conformation and the sweetest, easiest temperament. Doodle is already well educated with a mature head and will be ready to go to her new home at the end of October. Priced to sell at just over mid four figures. For more info, photos or videos please PM 😊

This isn’t your average photo of a mare and her foal.
After an incredibly traumatic week since losing her Mum to colic, this photo was taken 5 minutes after our 8 week old filly Sia met her new foster Mum, Daisy 🥰
This is an incredibly rare (and equally wonderful) sight, because Daisy hadn’t lost her foal, she hadn’t even had a foal for a couple of years before she met Sia. With a lot of work, love, luck and with the support of incredible people we have achieved what a leading veterinary hospital told us was a “waste of time”.
Thank goodness we didn’t listen, and THANK YOU to everyone who shared our post seeking a foster mare, to our amazing staff and liveries who took their turn in babysitting Sia when she lost her Mum; to Ellie, Lauren and Robyn at 608 Vets, to Pat Ormond of College View Stud for his sound advice and most of all to Jane Hope for lending me her incredible mare.
Daisy - you couldn’t be more perfect 💕
More photos and a video of our journey to follow.
