GFS Hi Jinx is the full sister to GFS Fire and Ice.

Jinx is powerfully built and in perfect proportion, she has great conformation and would easily carry weight if necessary. She is very light on her feet with big, expressive paces and enormous presence. She is a real powerhouse, with style, speed and good balance through all paces.

Had it not been for the disruption and uncertainty that Covid brought to our lives, Jinx would have been started under saddle as a four year old. Instead we put her in foal and she was professionally started at the beginning of this year.

Although she is new to ridden work, she has proven a quick learner and a genuine, honest mare under saddle who enjoys her work and takes care of her rider.

She schools nicely, hacks sensibly and we have just started introducing jumping work which she thoroughly enjoys and demonstrates a natural aptitude for.

Now this is possibly my all time favourite filly foal of all time! A full sister to GFS Fire and Ice, she is just absolutely delightful and not one I had ever planned on selling.

She is absolutely everything we could have wished for when planning her breeding; tall, a big powerful mover who just loves to jump and can barely keep her feet on the ground. She of course has the very beautiful head and intelligent, lively expression of both her brother and of her sire (Colourthyme Kajika) as well as their wonderful personalities and incredible temperament.

She moves with great purpose and style, using her long gaskin and forearm for a big reach in trot and gallop, her enormous presence and physical capabilities are obvious from the first stride. She has a great deal of speed, incredible balance and is of a build to power over jumps with great ease with a huge perfectly angled shoulder and pelvis designed almost ideally for powering over fences.

Now just a three year old, Jinx already has a strong muscular body, built for speed and one which will easily carry weight if necessary. She is very light on her feet and yet a real powerhouse with movement that is big and showy without looking unnatural. Her attitude is pure gold and is a kind cooperative youngster but she is highly intelligent, keen to keep busy and full of energy.

For more information, video and additional photos, please look on her page which is a subpage of the 2020 Sales List.

It will be updated with recent photos and video shortly.

This filly will be available to a professional home only.

This lovely young mare is a delight to handle being sensible, willing and kind. She is good with the farrier, to worm and handle in all situations. She is people oriented and keen to interact at all times. Vice free, she has great stable manners and a willing demeanor.

We believe she will make an exceptional eventer or show jumper with further production and the right training. She is brave, enthusiastic and has the quality and talent to really make an impact in the right hands.

It would be a dream come true to see this much loved horse go to a home where her potential will be realized and where her talent will not be wasted.

We feel she would be more suited to a capable ambitious amateur to progress through the levels.

She certainly has the paces that are requisite for dressage, but she has a keen mind and enjoys variety in her work as well as loving her jumping.

She produced a beautiful filly at four and was a superb mother, taking it all in her stride and coming back as athletic as she has always been following weaning.

A little bit about her breeding...

Her sire Colourthyme Kajika was one of our foundation stallions, his foals are easily recognisable by their strong, compact physiques, strong backs, powerful build and stunning heads. Their temperaments have always been simply amazing; highly people oriented, genuine and incredibly willing under saddle.

Kajika's foals have an extraordinary bond with people from the start, quick to learn, eager to please and very gentle. Highly sociable and with a great natures, these special individuals stand with such pride and presence. Their movement is extravagant, floating and rhythmic and to date, once in their new homes...they are there for life!

These are the ultimate high end amateur horses, family friends or superb all rounders with style, pizazz, huge potential and huge characters!

Kajika is bred from both rare and sought after bloodlines. His sire line are from exceptional Danish Knabstrupper ancestry with TB bloodlines tracing back to the legendary racehorse, Eclipse! and his dam lines are of the the multi talented and highly versatile all round Czech Kinsky Warmblood, carrying the highly prized Trakehner blood tracing directly back through Pythagoras/Dampfross and to the Godolphin Arabian and Bryerly Turk. these are two of the three Arabian Stallions responsible for the thoroughbred horse.

Folly's Rock, her dam is by the leading sire of event horses Rock King. Himself the sire of the Olympic eventer Rock Model. He also sired four competitors at the 2008 CCI **** at Luhmuhlen.

Rock King was renowned for his fantastic temperament, excellent paces and superb jumping technique. As a four year old Rock King won the Stoneways Potential Showjumper and was in the final twelve for the Young Event Horse Class. From there his career sky rocketed. Sadly, his career was tragically cut short whilst competing at Tweeseldown Horse Trials in 2000 where he sustained a fatal injury. He was at that time already Advanced, accruing over 200 BE points during his short career which would otherwise undoubtedly have seen him feature in many major horse trials.

He was sired by, Just a Monarch. A stallion that has produced many superb competition stock over the years. Many of his proven progeny including the International Event Horses, Kings Jester, Just an Ace and Midnight Monarch, as well as point-to-pointer Mark Methane who has won over 30 races.

Rock Kings' dam, Rockys Double and Grand dam, Farley Mount were both prolific producers of CCI **** Eventers, including; Double Trust, Alfresco, Trust in me and Kilcashel.

Folly's damsire is none other than the legendary Bohemond, HIS Premium stallion and sire of double Olympic event mare Withcote Nellie and dam sire of NZ WEG Team horse Classic Moet, this years Badminton winner.

Her dam's dam was a Connemara jumping pony, Spring Fidgit which is where her glorious golden colour and very pretty almost 'pony' head.

Both Folly's sire and dam can trace their ancestry back to Pharos, with a great number of highly acclaimed racehorse royalty adorning the family tree in between.
