Happy new year to all of our friends , family and clients.
After a difficult couple of years for our family , myself and Tom are looking forward to 2025 with renewed optimism and hopefully 5 exciting Groomsbridge foals on the ground.
Onwards and upwards to hopefully some exciting changes to come in our lives and looking forward to watching more of these Groomsbridge bred horses out competing.
Foals due starting in 8 weeks time include full and 3/4 siblings to these 2 fabulous horses.
Exciting times.

A bit late to the party with Blair and Lisgarvan posts but photos a bit slow arriving.
Nevertheless an amazing set of results for 2 horses bred by ourselves.
Tout Chocolat what can I say about her. As ever she didn’t disappoint and beautifully produced and ridden by Lily Bradstock
Her owner Ann Solis most be ecstatic with her.
Clear x country and an unlucky pole in an otherwise immaculate round left them 14th in a huge 4*S class.
Grand Espoir is in his first season eventing and produced yet another double clear at 2* Level for 6th place and he’s now accumulated 24points.
This boy has only had one showjumping pole down all season and is such an exciting prospect for the future.
Again beautifully produced by John Tilley and Andrew Williams for his owners.
They say you can’t breed event horses but these 2 horses are both by Diarado and out of mares that are full sisters who are both by my much missed Groomsbridge May I.
So I think this Nick works pretty well.
Really exciting times ahead for the riders , owners and us as breeders of these fabulous horses.

Very happy to receive news today that our Weatherbys and NPS licensed 15.2 TB stallion “Winter Games “ has tested negative for PSSM 1 to add to his negative results for WFFS.
We eagerly await his first foals this year.
He is an interesting prospect for both showing and eventing breeding.
Despite having a pedigree that is purely racing , it is full of stallions that have produced international eventers and showjumpers despite only covering TB mares.
Medicean and Mark Of Esteem 2 who are close up in the dam line have both produced multiple international event horses from TB coverings.
Rainbow Quest has multiple TB sons at stud that have produced 4 and 5* horses including TS Jamaimo.
Shirley Heights pops up in both Winter Games and 5* horse Top Spins dam lines.
He carries the blood of Auction Ring who was also the sire of top HIS stallion Bohemond.
Winter Games carries 4 lines of Turn to , the line that is famous for top stallion Hand in Glove who in turn is sire of Jaguar Mail.
Many other racing TB sires in there that have produced international eventers too numerous to mention here.
All in all we reckon this little chap has a lot to offer.
He stands this year at a great value £450 plus vat which includes the first collection.
