Brackenspa Stud

Another great outing!! Thanks to Ellie Clarke-Eventing and team Brackenspa Stud for all the hard work.

Our penultimate foal of the 2026 season has arrived!

Congratulations to Pennie Wallace, whose lovely mare Polly has welcomed a beautiful bay filly by LePrince Des Bois. At less than a week old, she’s already showing plenty of confidence and character—proving to be every bit as bold as her older brother, ‘Wilf’!

We can’t wait to watch this exciting young filly grow and see what the future has in store for her.

The arrival of ‘Pippa’ marks the 50th foal born here this season and our 25th filly, bringing the tally to an even split between c**ts and fillies. With just one mare left under camera, all eyes are on our final arrival—which will come out on top: the fillies or the c**ts?

With one mare left to foal for 2026 we would like to introduce the other ‘youngsters’ we have been producing this season!

Out of Amy’s beloved Nutella, Nutty to her friends, and by Ralph who can only be described as the kindest ‘Jack The Lad’ you will meet we have 3 very special Cocker Spaniel puppies looking for their forever homes.

1 bitch ( black) and 2 dogs (chocolate) …. All very well socialized, loved and farm reared. They can play and they can cuddle. Great family dogs. Ready from 10/7/26.

The boys are certainly playing catch-up!

We are delighted to welcome foals 43 through 49 to the world, and what a wonderful group they are proving to be.

First to arrive was a handsome bay c**t for the Thurlborn family, out of their much-loved mare Ella Z and by Argento. While he may be small in stature, he is absolutely packed with quality and character. A true example of pint-sized perfection, and we have every confidence that he will go on to achieve big things in the future.

Mona carried this precious youngster on behalf of HH Ambrose Lady, and we are delighted to see both mare and foal doing so well. This handsome c**t is a full sibling to Freya, who joined us earlier in the season, making his arrival even more special for everyone involved. Sired by Can Ya Makan, this young man has certainly made a wonderful first impression. With his elegant presence, bright outlook, and plenty of personality already beginning to shine through.

Another wonderful arrival to celebrate as Kizzy safely delivered a striking black c**t for the Goldsmith family. Kizzy took motherhood in her stride and has been doing a fantastic job caring for her c**t from the moment he arrived. This chap is sired by Koning Albert.

Not to be outdone, Felicity Pryce’s two maiden mares decided that one foaling in a night simply wasn’t enough—despite their due dates being almost three weeks apart! Paisley was first to welcome a beautiful buckskin filly by resident stallion Pencos Arctic King. With four striking white socks and plenty of presence, she certainly knows how to make an entrance. Then, after taking notes from her stablemate, Harmony produced a tall, elegant black c**t by Future Hepsilon. Both mares have taken to motherhood brilliantly and are doing a fantastic job caring for their new arrivals.

Next on the foaling roster was a confident and charismatic bay c**t for Springfield Equestrian, out of their mare Belinda. This young man has wasted no time introducing himself to the world and is already full of self-assurance, curiosity, and charm.

Finally, in the early hours of this morning, first-time mum Lulu safely delivered a lovely bay c**t by Dominator 2000 Z. From the moment he arrived, this little fellow has shown an adventurous spirit, a brave attitude, and a genuine love of human company.

It has been another busy and exciting few days in the foaling barn, and it’s wonderful to see such a healthy and varied group of youngsters on the ground. Congratulations to all of their owners and breeders—we can’t wait to watch these special foals grow and develop in the months and years ahead. 🐴✨

With only two mares left to foal the question is who will win? Colts or fillies 💙🩷

The foals have continued to arrive thick and fast, and we’re delighted to introduce foals number 36 through 42!

First up is our lovely mare Darcy (by Dunhill Desert Storm), who chose a beautiful warm day to quietly lie down in the field and present us with an absolutely stunning double dilute filly. This gorgeous girl is by Quasi Gold, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her. She is already turning heads with her striking colour, presence, and sweet nature, and we’re excited to watch her grow and develop.

Later that same day, after returning home from a busy day of eventing and Shetland racing, we welcomed another new arrival. Alice Donnelly’s Candi had safely delivered a handsome bay c**t by Chacoo Bay. This friendly young man wasted no time introducing himself and is already proving to be a confident and characterful addition to the foal crop.

Next came a particularly anticipated arrival from Milla Lannis Dream. After completely fooling everyone last year by appearing simply a little round rather than actually being in foal, she made sure there was no confusion this time around! She produced a beautiful chestnut filly by Ermitage Kalone, everyone is absolutely thrilled with the result. This elegant young lady has already captured plenty of attention.

First-time mum Monkey then stepped up to the challenge and did a fantastic job, producing a strong, substantial bay c**t by Chrysler Key for Nicole Mills. He is a real powerhouse of a foal with plenty of presence, everyone has high hopes that he will go on to achieve great things in the future.

Next on the foaling list was recipient mare Arna, who delivered perhaps one of the prettiest fillies of the season so far for Josh Hutchingson. This stunning black filly, out of Diamanty Di Magico Z and by Cornet Obolensky, is an absolute picture. The big question now is whether she will retain her beautiful black coat or gradually grey out as she matures. Only time will tell!

Finally, we welcomed a wonderful chestnut c**t for Ava Vernon. This little boy has already made quite the impression with his friendly personality, bold attitude, and speedy nature. He’s full of confidence and curiosity, and we suspect he’s going to keep everyone on their toes as he grows up.

That brings us to foals 36 through 42, and what a fantastic group they are. We feel incredibly lucky to welcome each and every one of these youngsters and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them all. Stay tuned for more foaling updates as the season continues!

Mr Consistent!! 💙💙

Thank you BEDE Events for putting on his lucky events 🍀

Full team effort as always from Brackenspa Stud

A fantastic achievement for Safira, a close relative of Venterprise.

Venterprise and Safira share the same distinguished grandsire, with the added distinction that George is sired by the legendary Voltaire, one of the most influential jumping stallions in modern sport horse breeding.

Competing with Carlos Parro, Safira delivered a composed and consistent performance at the Royal Jump International in the 4*-L competition. Demonstrating quality, reliability, and athleticism throughout the event, the pair produced a solid result that reflects the strength of both horse and rider.

This impressive performance has now secured Safira’s qualification to represent Brazil at the prestigious FEI World Championships Aachen 2026, a major milestone and a testament to the mare’s talent, careful development, and competitive consistency.

Congratulations to everyone involved in Safira’s journey. It is always rewarding to see the success of horses from closely related bloodlines, and we look forward to following Safira and Carlos Parro on the road to Aachen 2026. 🐎🇧🇷✨
