GFS SALES PAGE 2024

GFS Stardust is a very glamorous dark golden palomino filly with a perfectly 'painted' white stripe and four white socks.  She has the excellent athletic conformation of a modern sporthorse, absolutely sensational movement in each and every pace, demonstrating balance, true cadence and a big, hugely expressive trot.  She is going to be a very exciting young horse with a lot of natural talent and potential in the right hands.

She is well handled, good to catch and mannerly in both the field and stable. She is intelligent, gentle but is also showing signs of very much being a one person horse.

The dam of this lovely youngster is Quirilina Z. She is a Zangersheide mare who has jumped with success at 1.15 and 1.20 on the Atlantic Tour at Vilamoura as a five year old on an FEI passport, gaining a first and top ten placings respectively in her but developed an aversion to travelling.  She went on to have a good BSJA record with her next owner prior to sustaining a foot injury.

She is a big, powerfully built horse with absolutely outstanding movement, balance and speed.  She has a superb jumping pedigree and enormous scope over a fence, these are some of the qualities that we are seeing in her offspring to date although all are too young to assess their jumps at this point.

Her sire Quirifino Z successfully competed for several years at 1.60m with Ben Maher, coming 4th in the Hickstead Derby among numerous other winnings at Grand Prix level, including competing at the Global Champions Tour 2009 & 2010.

He is a very versatile stallion having produced both showjumpers and eventers. He is renowned for passing his laid back nature to his offspring.

Quidam de Revel, Quirifino's sire is one of the most influential breeding stallions of all time.  His offspring are highly sought after as they have huge scopey jumps, but remain ultra careful.  In 2004 Quidam topped the World Breeding Championships jumping stallion ratings for the second year, establishing him as  the pre-eminent (and most expensive) living sire of showjumping horses.

Quirifino's dam sire Grosso Z produced the international jumping star Goldfever and the international dressage stallion Goethe.

Her damsire Lorentin I is a famous Holsteiner dressage stallion which may well explain her phenomenal movement! He competed at Grand Prix level and sired top dressage progeny including L'Acteur and Limocello.

Fleming her dams Holstein grandsire also competed at Grand Prix dressage.

GFS Stardust's sire, AES Graded and Licensed cremello stallion, GFS Lord of the Dance is 'stamping' his offspring to date. Tall, well built with a powerful, compact frame, long legs and extremely attractive head set well on an elegant neck of good length. Equally exciting is the bold, calm and easy going charm they inherit from this beautiful young stallion whose gentle, unflappable nature makes him such a joy to deal with. 

Lord of the Dance is a home bred young stallion whose sire we owned and stood with great success until the time of his untimely passing;

Destello was imported by myself as a yearling from his breeder in Estonia. His breeding was rare and highly sought Russian Trakehner x Akhal Teke with superb breeding and illustrious competition ancestry on both sides of his pedigree. Sadly injured as a two year old, he was unable to commence his much anticipated career under saddle and out eventing. There is however little doubt that had he had the opportunity his unbelievable athleticism, raw speed, power and endurance coupled with his incredible brave nature would have made him a formidable force in competition.

Dar, Destello's sire aquited himself in both dressage and show jumping, he was by the International Grand Prix and Elite stallion Ashkhabad and his dam Dolina was a show jumping International.

The Russian Trakehner is rarely seen outside of Russia. This aristocratic and jealously guarded product of highly selective breeding has proven results throughout Eastern Europe as exceptionally talented performers in each of the three major discipline

Aschachabad, Dars sire was an outstanding Russian Trakehner stallion by anyones standards. Bred at the famous Dovatar Stud, he was the winner of Young Stallion of the year held amongst all Belorussian Trakehners. He scored an unprecedented 10 for his jumping ability. However, it was as a dressage horse that Aschchabad was to make his name. He was eventually sold to Germany for dressage. 

GFS Lord of the Dance's dam was owned by us for many years and produced many superb foals for us including two additional Licensed stallions. She was by the hugely promising palomino Hanoverian stallion Malibu Galileo and out of an American thoroughbred mare of tremendous performance and providence on the track
