BILLY ARIETTA

Billy Arietta is a 2014 mare by Plot Blue out of Animo Mare. She was a slightly late starter from the Billy Stud, but she is the most lovely mare and a very good jumper. She has jumped up to 1.35 including a placing in a CSI1* Grand Prix at the Sunshine Tour in 2022. She has been a lovely horse to have to continue her development, and I look forward to an exciting future for her.

BILLY BREAKDANCE

Billy Breakdance is a 2016 gelding by Billy Mexico out of a Billy Congo mare. He made a late start to his career through no fault of his own, starting with 1m classes in the Autumn of 2022. He has progressed well through this year, now jumping very easily round 1.20 and 1.25 courses, and has made his international debut in Lier in August 2023. He is an exceptionally scopey horse with a very good technique. He is very easy to ride to a fence and I look forward to an exciting future with him.

ASKEATON II

Askeaton II is a 2013 mare by Golden Hawk out of a Good Times mare. Bred by Breen Equestrian, she was broken in December 2017 and rapidly progressed to jumping 1.10’s and 5 year old classes. In 2019 she stepped up to CSIYH1* Six Year Old classes being consistently placed in these classes. She competed and was placed in six year old classes at CSIYH1* Lier, CSI4* Hickstead Derby Show, CSIYH1* Keysoe, CSIYH1* Fontainebleau, and at the National Young Horse Championships at Bolesworth. In the very short season of 2020 she stepped up to seven year old classes, jumping great rounds in CSIYH1* in Kronenberg, the National Young Horse Championships at Bolesworth and at the AEJC at Hickstead. She jumped the seven year old classes at CSIYH1* Vilamoura to finish the season and was confident and competitive. Askeaton made a fantastic start to 2021 jumping 1.35 and 1.40 classes, but sadly she became difficult to keep sound and she is now back at Breen Equestrian ready to become a brood mare.

HURRICANE HEIDI

Hurricane Heidi is a 2014 chestnut mare by Typhoon S out of Tiandra (By Heartbreaker).  She is British bred by Max Routledge. Both her parents were jumped successfully up to 1.50 level by Max. .  Heidi was broken at the end of August 2017 and has been with us since the beginning of October 2017.  She isn't very big, but she is an exceptional mover, and very bold, scopey and careful jumper. Heidi spent most of 2018 growing and relaxing in the field, but in 2019 she contested nternational five year old classes, being consistently clear and placed, including 5th in the Five Year Old Final at CSIYH1* Lier, being placed every day and 5th in the final at CSIYH1* Keysoe, being placed in the five year olds at CSI4* Hickstead Derby show and jumping very well at the National Young Horse Championships at Bolesworth. In 2020, in spite of the short season due to COVID-19 Heidi has once again stepped up, jumping clears in Six Year Old Classes in CSIYH1* Kronenberg, the National Young Horse Championships at Bolesworth and the AEJC at Hickstead. She was placed in four out of nine six year old classes in CSIYH1* Vilamoura. Heidi was sold in June 2021 to Michele Hoad, owner of Felbridge Showground and they are enjoying a fantastically successful partnership together.

BE KHALISSY

I bought BE Khalissy, by Colmar as a four year old from Shane Breen. A lovely, blood, light framed and exceptionally beautiful horse. She was an absolute pleasure to produce, an out and out winner in the ring who can forgive some pretty dreadful mistakes from the rider. She was a very successful five and six year old in International Young Horse Classes, and then had an amazing strike rate as a seven year old in 1.20 and CSI1* classes. She was sold at the beginning of 2023 when I decided to cut back on my riding commitments.
