This really tall, elegant and breathtakingly beautiful yearling filly has physicality of an out and out athlete. She has a huge active walk and a proud self carriage and presence that draws the eye. Zoffany has a really super ground covering trot, demonstrating great reach, lovely natural hock and knee action with no unnatural or exaggerated high stepping. She moves easily around the arena with paces that flow in every gait; a relaxed and balanced canter and she has the gallop of a born eventer.
Already standing at 15.3hh, she will be tall with a strong medium weight build with correct conformation and long, strong legs with ideal angulation and good strong bone.
This filly has a superb temperament. She is calm, willing and so eager to please, has superb stable manners and is a real people person. Zoffany is tremendously elegant and a delight to work with being easy to handle in all situations and willing to learn. I would expect her to attain a height at maturity of 16.2hh
She is by GFS Fire and Ice whose pedigree boasts the late great Rock King and Bohemond and out of a SHGB Graded Kings Composer mare, Treloan Simply Red, a daughter of our own precious Treloan Tiger Lily whose sire and Grandsire Amerigo Vespucci and Shaab compliment her paternal eventing pedigree perfectly.
I think this filly shows every indication of being a tremendous eventing prospect but could easily envisage her becoming a superb dressage prospect with the correct training too! I believe she would equally be at home as a much loved equine partner for almost any rider with her gentle attitude and generosity of spirit. She is a rare beauty and golden in both nature and in colour.
Kings Composer, her damsire is the sire of numerous Advanced eventers, Grade A showjumpers and County Show Hunters and known for his exceptional temperament and the rideability of his offspring. Treloan Simply Red is as said the daughter of our cherished Treloan Tiger Lily who has proven herself as a mare who consistently produces offspring of exceptional type and temperament and whose offspring for us are mostly in professional homes but valued for their amazing natures.

GFS Zingalina
GFS Eskimo Jo x Zievdent
4th June 2020
Chestnut filly - To make 16.2hh +
https://sporthorse-data.com/pedigree/gfs-zingalina
There is some serious jumping talent to be found in this filly's pedigree and her dam Zievident is of course the dam of the eventing 'wonderchild' GFS Moonlight Echo and GFS Rapunzel who are both in a professional eventers yard being aimed for the top end of the sport!
This lovely looking girl is a tremendously powerfully built foal with a big trot, lovely uphill, balanced canter and a ground covering gallop. She is bred to compete and whether it is to show jump, event or even dressage (if her exuberance and love of airs above the ground can be mastered!), she will present a very exciting prospect for anyone looking to produce a young horse with ambitions to aim high!
She has a big character and will be a lot of fun to get to know and enjoy her antics as she matures to what is going to be a very impressive horse with a lot of presence and an abundance of potential.

GFS Lord of the Dance x Treloan Simply Red

This very beautiful colt has had a challenging start in life. Orphaned within minutes of his birth, he is just such a courageous and likeable character. He has a high percentage of blood and would be eminently suitable for the sport of eventing.
His dam was by Kings Composer who has sired many successful show and event horses and she was out of another of our precious broodmares Treloan Tiger Lily who is by Ameriggo Vespucci and out of a Shaab mare so the breeding for eventing promise is written in every line of his pedigree. In addition to this, it is a bloodline that guarantees offspring both incredibly attractive and highly trainable with incredible temperaments and an innate willingness to please.
His sire GFS Lord of the Dance is also of a high and desirable bloodhorse percentage carrying Russian Trakehner, Akhal Teke and TB parentage.
Update...Let me re-introduce the slightly more mature, taller, slightly less golden (although, don't be fooled...under that shaggy winter foal coat lurks a shimmering robe of deep golden splendour just waiting for Spring's first rays of sunshine (me too!) Here is the gorgeous and very elegant GFS DragonHeart, full of character, a great sense of fun and a real people loving horse with one of the most intelligent, easy going natures.
This beautiful foal is by the young AES Graded stallion GFS Lord of the Dance whose sire was an imported Russian Trakehner x Akhal Teke and his dam TB x Hannovarian. He is out of a very special Graded Kings Composer/ Ameriggo Vespucchi x Shaab mare who has a very special place in our hearts, the late and much missed Treloan Simply Red.
This lovely colt will mature at probably the 16.1/16.2hh mark and is starting to develop into a very impressive young horse. He has one of the most genuinely straight forward, relaxed and willing attitudes and is a delight to handle. He is highly sociable, loves attention, is calm, confident and appears utterly without fear. He is incredibly trusting and learns every new lesson almost instantly. He is very well handled, stands well for the farrier, easy to worm and leads in and out from the field daily like an old pro. He is easy to catch, in fact he is more likely to catch you and is very mannerly in the stable. I cannot overemphasise how beautifully behaved and relaxed this foal is nor over exaggerate his superb temperament.
I would love to keep this fantastic colt but I have had to make some tough choices this year and realistically do not have the time to run him on and give him the attention he needs.
Whoever is lucky enough to produce this stunning young horse will find themselves with a friend, a partner for life and a horse who will undoubtedly be a joy to produce under saddle and a pleasure to own. This will be an immensely rewarding horse who will have talent in abundance as well as a sensational nature.
GFS Kalahari
GFS Eskimo Jo x Treliver Decanter/Accondy
19th March 2020
To make 17hh approx
https://sporthorse-data.com/pedigree/gfs-kalahari
This really lovely looking bay colt has enormous presence and absolutely super conformation with all the obvious attributes of a real athlete. He has a highly attractive head and moves with grace, power and purpose.
His dam is by the Grand Prix dressage stallion Treliver Decanter and out of an Elite Graded SH(GB) mare by the Saddlers Wells bred stallion Accondy. Her dam sire is World Cup, the GP dressage stallion and sire of many top dressage horses.
Sahara is a lighter type mare who looks very similar in type to her TB ancestry and as I believed, this breeding has benefitted from the infusion of body and power that 'Mojo' has brought to the party with his strong showjumping pedigree.
I always try to breed as ever a horse that would be capable of any job but who would show real talent as an eventer in time.
This colt looks to have the balance and natural elasticity of of an athlete capable of making as much as a mark in the show jumping ring as the dressage arena and clearly enough power, strength and speed to handle the biggest of cross country tracks.
Kalahari has a lot of style and a nice temperament, he will be a big, strong horse at maturity and has the credentials to be an enormously exciting prospect for an ambitious rider.
