2019 167cm homebred gelding by Cevin Z out of our previous 1m50 jumping mare Billy Comme Ca, by Billy Congo
Eli is the sweetest horse with a lovely kind nature, truly anyone could ride him. For this reason, he would be a great horse for an amateur to develop with, but equally he shows the potential for a professional stable to take on to produce in the sport.
Eli has lightly competed at the tail end of this year, to start his competitive career with great success. In his first three competitions he jumped 3/3 Discovery (1m) double clears & also stepped up to jump a Newcomers (1m10) double clear.
Eli is super brave, always wants to be careful on the fences and has a great mentality. He loves showing and has great enthusiasm in the ring! He really loves his job and would be a really lovely genuine horse for someone to grow with and have a lot of fun on!
Eli is lovely to ride on the flat, including clean lead changes both ways. He is a pleasure to do in everyday life and a lovely person to have on the yard.
Rosso has been a part of our stable since he was a green 7-year-old. This is when he properly started his jumping career, which worked in favour with him therefore having plenty of time to develop and grow into himself being a big horse. From there he flourished and stepped up to 1m40 classes with ease by the end of his 7-year-old year.
Now established at 1m45 level, Rosso is a great horse to step up the levels on. He took both of my daughters up to jumping their first CSI** World Ranking Grand Prixs, giving them valuable experience and confidence at this level. He is very straight forward and will take a miss even at this level.
This year Rosso was selected onto the Young Rider Nations Cup team for Team GB in Wierden with my eldest daughter, India. He also won the Puissance class at The Royal Windsor Horse Show CSI5* with Joe Stockdale and placed 4th at HOYS. He has jumped a huge 2m15 in this class showing his undoubtable scope and great brain!
While we know that Rosso would do a fantastic job taking his next rider up to the next level, we would be equally excited to see where this horse could go in another professional stable, having found all of the questions we have asked him thus far quite easy with his ability!
