🤩STANDING AT STUD 2026 - THE ULTIMATE ALLROUNDER PRODUCER!🤩
No Foal No Fee to all visiting mares
Dilute foal guaranteed - 2011 15hh Welsh D graded SPSS, AES and WPCS. The first Welsh D to be graded with the AES - a true sports D. Sire of the highest graded 4yo and the highest graded Native foal in the 2025 Futurity.

Orlando is not your traditional Section D - he is able to offer bone and substance to a lighter TB or WB mare whilst also being able to refine a more traditional D or heavier mare. This combined with his exceptional temperament and versatility under saddle means that he is always a good choice for any mare. And you get the added bonus of being able to predict the colour of your foal! A chestnut mare will always guarantee a palomino, whereas a bay or black mare can produce a buckskin, palomino or smokey black foal.

Orlando is WPCS licensed and is graded with the SPSS, taking Central Grading Champion for 2020 and Reserve Champion for Britain 2020. He is also the first Section D in AES history to be graded with the society. At both gradings he gained fabulous marks but the stand out would have to be 9's and 10's for his jumping ability and an 8.75 for his canter work.

A true allrounder himself, Orlando regularly competes in dressage, showjumping and eventing as well as participating in hunting, fun rides, working equitation and whatever else we happen to fancy trying that day - he has even lead a team chase!

Ollie knows how to switch it on for a competitive rider and dial it back for a child or nervous rider who needs a bit of confidence.

It is no surprise then that Orlando is the ultimate all rounder producer. He has proven himself time and time again, not just in the progeny he produces but for the mare owners who have used him, many of them several times over! Ollie's foals have been Elite graded, become licensed stallions, competed at LIHS, qualified for national finals in eventing and dressage, been childhood best friends, family allrounders and everything in between. In 2025 he won a British Breeding award for siring two Elite graded youngstock, one being the highest graded Native foal and one being the highest graded 4yo. He is the type of stallion who will sire a foal who can go out and do a nice medium dressage test on Saturday and a 1.10m showjumping course on Sunday, then hacking out with the kids after work in the week.
The type of horse that you can leave without a rug and know it won't melt in the rain or have a nervous breakdown because it's been left out over night. The type that are intelligent, willing to learn and place implicit trust in you as their owner and rider. And then to top it all off......All of that in a beautiful golden package. What more could you want?
You can view updates on some of his progeny on his page and in the Facebook group Ynyslyns Orlando Babies!
£500 NFNF for visiting mares, NFFR for shipped semen.
Frozen available for EU export.

Our third and final Pegasus foal of the season is this absolutely enormous buckskin c**t. Out of our pocket rocket Irish Sports Horse mare Coco, Callum has enough bone you could confuse him for an Irish Draught. Hes going to need a bit of time to straighten up and get those gigantic legs under control!

Big Showjumping Bred Yearling C**t (Can be gelded)
Bloodlines include Diamant de Semilly, French Buffet, Burggraaf, Caretino Glory, No Limit, Ircolando.

Batman is a strong, upstanding, attractive yearling bred for sport with a super temperament from proven showjumping lines. He is very correct with good limbs and feet and is a real old-fashioned warmblood stamp with good bone. Friendly, inquisitive and bold, he has all the attributes of a very promising young performance horse. To mature 16.2hh+

By our young showjumping stallion Pearl Jam, directly by Diamant de Semilly out of a French Buffet x Burggraaf 'black-type' dam line. Pearl Jam's dam herself jumped to 1.35m internationally and has so far also produced a 3* eventer. Her damline has consistently produced multiple international showjumpers to 1.60m level.

He is the first foal out of our own homebred Caretino Glory x Non Limit x Ircolando mare, a mare we retained so as to maintain her damline. Her damline has produced showjumpers up to 1.60m and dressage horses up to Grand Prix as well as endless amateur showjumpers/eventers with several of her siblings competing BS and BE. All of her graded siblings have been gold graded and her 6yo maternal sister was her year's regional showjumping champion on the Elite Foal Tour.

Quality, eye-catching, athletic but substantial model with a super trainable and user friendly temperament that wouldn't feel out of place in your back yard. Well socialised, currently lives out in a mixed herd and plays very well with others.

From the field.. Dam and sire can be seen.

Sorry for taking this one seriously, but a frequently asked question is why do we need to collect off stallions, why not leave them to it and cut out ‘the middle man?’
Here are some of the reasons we collect off of stallions in order to make use of artificial insemination

1 Accessibility - A mare can have access to semen from stallions all over the country, even the world, without leaving home. It also means a stallion can serve multiple mares off of one collection, which protects the stallion’s wellbeing

2 Hygiene - Reduces the risk of venereal and contact diseases, although all mares and stallions have to provide negative pre-entry health checks before arriving at stud regardless of if they are here for natural cover or AI.

3 Reducing the risk of injury - Some mares can be reactive to the stallion which can result in career ending injuries and some stallions can be aggressive and cause injury to the mare during covering. Natural covering is also more physically taxing on the mare than AI.

4 Competing stallions - For stallions that are only available by AI and don’t do natural cover it can help them stay focused when working and help them with socialisation, as they associate the dummy with that job rather than other horses. Everyone will have different views and experiences on this but this has worked very well for us.

5 Processed semen is cleaner for the mare and enables you to control the quality and the quantity that goes in.
