Ludo Bagman

 

Bought as a feral 4yo from Holland in late 2014.  He is a giant of a horse and competes under the somewhat imposing name of Guaranteed Quality. Ludo competed up to 4 star level Eventing before finding his forte as a showjumper.  No jump is too small for him and he regularly competes in GP classes and took on the Hickstead Derby in 2022. He relished the iconic bank and devil's dyke, whilst us watching found it terrfying! In 2023 he came third in the Royal Windsor Horse Show Puissance. Quite the boy, now having a much quieter life!

Madam Hooch

 

By Murka’s Gem (a Gem Twist clone) out of our own Luna (by Concorde).

 

One of our homebreds born in 2017. She has taken to both showjumping and eventing, and is currently jumping confidently round Foxhunters and looking to step up to Novice eventing this year. We have our fingers crossed she will be a really good one.

 

Cabdullah m2s

 

Stable name Herbie.  Holly's own eventer and showjumper.

Herbie is a two star eventer (double clears around Houghton and Hartpury) and he also competes successfully at Foxhunter level showjumping.  Super chilled out at shows and wonderful manners too.  A dream!

Seamus Finnigan

 

Stable name Elliot.  He has the difficult task of being Barry’s showjumper, not the easiest of tasks when the rider struggles to see his stride.  He made his debut in the international arena at Hickstead in the 1m final a year or so ago. Woohoo!

West of the Law

 

Stable name Frank (or Big Frank).  Frank leaves the showjumping clears to Elliot but he is the hack to die for, and loves cruising around XC too, enjoying his adventures to Houghton and Barbury accompanying the big horses.

Fenrir Greyback

 

New kid on the block Lennie is Barry's new ride.  They are taking it slowly and hoping to go out eventing in 2025, so watch this space. And yes of course he had to have a Harry Potter competition name!

Some of the horses we have produced and follow closely

Luibanta BH 

 

Affectionately known as Lulu when she was with us. 

Broken and produced by us and sold to Ellen Whitaker as a 5yo. Competed for GBR at WEG in 2018 under Amanda Derbyshire and produced the best performance on the team.

Viktor Krum 

 

Viktor was very much a favourite on the yard and we had produced him from an unbroken 3yo up to a very competitive 2 star eventer and GP showjumper at 8yo.

There was not a dry eye in the house when he left us, and he went to a lovely home with young eventer Oli Jackson, who took him up successfully to 4 star level. Since Oli, he has been successfully competed by Bubby Upton and Millie Juleff.

Katie Bell

 

Known as Belle or Babybel.  By Plot Blue, out of Electro mare.  Bought by us at Brightwells auction as a foal in 2013 and produced by us. We sold her to Flossy Polland and they competed successfully in 1m30/1m40 classes.  I'm sure some of the jumps are bigger than Belle! Belle is now plying her trade in the USA

Lily Potter

 

Lily, by Cevin Z out of our own Luna, was born in May 2016.  She was ridden by Holly up to 6yo, competing successfully at BE100 and Newcomers showjumping.  

 

Lily left us to go to a lovely new home and Tinks is having great fun around BE Novice tracks and competed at Badminton Grassroots in 2024.

Horace Slughorn

 

Ah Horace, one of our favourites. He was a successful eventer (4*) and a lovely showjumper too (1m40) and was placed in the Hickstead Speed Derby. Now owned and ridden by Charlotte Uden. Have fun Char!
