Starbound Equine Services Reshaping the Equestrian Experience
"Don't wish it were easier. Wish you were better" We have a limited number of exceptional prospects for sale.

Starbound Equine specializes in the development of young sporthorses for dressage. Our focus is on bringing up confident and willing partners with correct training that are safe for the amateur mount. Starbound is owned and managed by Melissa Clelland. Melissa has been starting young horses since 2001. In 2007, she managed LWF Sporthorses, her family’s breeding farm in Michigan. Melissa ran the be

autiful 54 acre farm while managing the Young Horse Training program. For the next 6 years she developed horses from foal to show horse before moving to Florida to start Starbound Equine Services in 2012. Melissa is still riding one of her favorite LWF mares, Petite Belle, who she brought to the USEF/Markel Young Horse Championships to compete against the nations top 4 year olds in 2011. In 2021 Belle and Melissa made it to their first CDI small tour at Global Dressage Festival and the pair competed successfully against the top riders in our sport. Belle is now semi retired and we are hoping she has her first foal on the ground for spring of 2022!

GlamourBelle
2022 Bay Filly by GLAMOURDALE

GlamourBelle, affectionately known as BayBay, is a breathtaking blend of her Dam and Sire, embodying the best of both bloodlines. Her potential spans every corner of the sporthorse world, making her a natural prospect in any discipline she pursues. Beyond her conformation and fluid movement, BayBay shines with a willing, loving personality that makes her not just a joy to work with, but an absolute pleasure to handle and bond with. She’s the total package—elegance, athleticism, and an unbeatable spirit.

Her sire, Glamourdale has made a significant impact in the world of dressage. He is known for his outstanding performances, earning multiple championships at the highest levels. Glamourdale first captured attention by winning the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon as a 7-year-old, where he claimed the title of World Champion in the 7-Year-Old category. He later went on to dominate the Grand Prix circuit, including victories at prestigious events like the Aachen CHIO and the FEI Dressage World Cup. His elegance, power, and impeccable training have made him a favorite among dressage enthusiasts and a top choice for breeding, continuing his legacy in the sport.

Her Dam, Petite Belle is a distinguished mare known for her grace, athleticism, and versitile pedigree. From champion jumping lines on her Sire's side, to successful race horses on her Dam's side, Petite Belle has consistently shown remarkable talent in both dressage and jumping arenas. Her expressive movements, coupled with a strong work ethic and a willing temperament made her a successful partner with her lifetime owner from Young Horse Championships to CDIs in Wellington, FL.

Glamourbelle is likely to be a success in any Sporthorse arena, but between Glamourdale's Champion Dressage lines and Petite Belle's Champion Jumping and Racing lines, we think we may have made a top eventer!

In my search for an interesting play on the word Matador, I came across the urban dictionary definitions. It's not appropriate to post here, but if you want a laugh, check it out. 😉 And when you're done admiring my beautiful horse, don't forget to go buy a pair of Plieades breeches and finally ride your horse, NOT a SEAM!

When dressage horses jump Part Trois. Someday maybe somebody will work on his technique. But can we just give the big guy some credit seeing as this is his 1st time ever jumping any of these jumps. And I mean ever. There was no 2nd take. That was the 1st time he was ever asked to go anywhere near that Liverpool. I know Grand Prix jumpers that would hesitate more than he does. Best attitude ever!

I've always known I need to believe in myself more, but something I've come to realize about myself in the last month is that I often discredit my horses' abilities or potential simply so that no one can tell me "I told you so." I think my gelding has been trying to tell me something for a while now, and I haven't BELIEVED him. Some recent changes in our situation have forced me to see things in a different light. I've decided to take a few steps back, break things down into much simpler terms, and BELIEVE that he can do it if I just don't rush. Matty is coming into his 6 th year, and he is about a year behind the top in the sport his age - AND THATS FINE. The dressage queen in me wanted to try that transition a third time, but I had to tell myself, "progress NOT perfection," and make it clear to him that he was on the right track. I've made huge strides in just the last 2 weeks sticking to this philosophy. If he gives me an INCH of progress, our ride is over. This is incredibly difficult considering how much I enjoy riding him. But being greedy has never helped me with this horse. In fact, it typically bites me in the arse. #beStarbound #ridersinSTYLE #dressage #FEIprospect #mathador #dressageprospect #kwpn #negro #georgeclooney #canter #younghorse #dressagetraining #horse

When dressage horses jump, Part Duex. Took Matty on an adventure the other day and as per his usual character, I said jump, and he said how high. He's definitely a dressage horse, but the kids got HEART. ❤️ First time ever and my first time back in a jumping saddle in over a year. 🤷‍♀️ . . . . #starboundequine #BeStarbound #younghorse #dressage #FEIprospect #mathador #dressageprospect #kwpn #negro #georgeclooney #notajumper

You may have been wondering why you haven't heard anything about Matty. After I started him, I sent him up to Ocala to enjoy some more time just being a horse. He is now back in lox and back to work even better than before. True to his usual form just hacking around the farm after a great ride. LOVE 💘 this guy! . . . . #starboundequine #BeStarbound #younghorse #dressage #FEIprospect #mathador #dressageprospect #kwpn #negro

Our Story

Starbound Equine specializes in the development of young sporthorses for jumping and dressage. Our focus is on bringing up confident and willing partners with correct training that are safe for the amateur mount. Our programs start with prospects from foals up to show horses. We take 4-8 horses at a time for training and many are available for sale. Please contact us for more info about our training packages or sales horses. Starbound is owned and managed by Melissa Wanstreet. Melissa has been starting young horses since 2001. In 2007, she worked for LWF Sporthorses, a breeding farm in Michigan, where she managed their beautiful 54 acre farm while managing the Young Horse Training program. For the next 6 years she developed horses from foal to show horse before moving to Florida to start Starbound Equine Services in 2012. Melissa is still riding one of her favorite LWF mares, Petite Belle, who she brought to the USEF/Markel Young Horse Championships to compete against the nations top 4 year olds in 2011. Belle is currently competing 4th level dressage and is expected to move up to Prix St. Georges by August 2017. Melissa picked the name 'Starbound' after her favorite broodmare at LWF who foaled most of the horses she worked with there. "She was a sweet mare and a good mother. She set strong boundaries for her foals and made sure that they respected them. I believe that her foals were easier to train and as a result. I try to follow in her footsteps and it has helped me teach horses to respect and trust me so they develop into a willing and confident partner," says Melissa. Starbound aka 'Libby' passed away May 27, 2011.
