Bowood Pilgrim

By our champion riding pony stallion Llanarth Top Cat, out of Bowood Colleen, a beautiful moving thoroughbred mare, bred in the pink by Insan (Our Native) ex Hillary (IRE). A potential hack in the making, but he could equally turn his hand to any sport with his breeding for soundness, stamina and his kind temperament.

Bowood Top Cat
5 year-old 15hh exquisite bright bay gelding, with looks and personality.

A full-brother to Pilgrim by Llanarth Top Cat ex Bowood Colleen. This gelding is a little sweetie and loves attention. This horse just moves for fun, with lightness, grace and elegance. He is now ready to be broken and start a career in dressage or as a small sports horse.

Bowood Pageboy
4-year-old brown gelding (approx 14.2hh) by Llanarth Alley Cat out of Sun Set Lass. A very correct and eyecatching chap with a white face and white legs. Good flat bone and the substance to make a worker.

His dam Sun Set Lass is by True Song who was by 1963 Derby hero Relko who is actually a significant source of stamina, still to the fore in some horses pedigrees (he can be found in Kauto Star) and he was the damsire of 2005 Grand National surprise third Simply Gifted and 4m NH Chase winner Sudden Shock. He was also the sire of Avocat who was the sire of The Last Fling and damsire of Grey Abbey. Sun Set Lass's dam Laconic Air is by Spartan General, the sire of 1981 runner up Spartan Missile and Scottish National winner Hardy Lad.

Bowood Impeccable
3-year-old chesnut gelding (approx 14.2hh) by Llanarth Alley Cat out of Cusop Divine. A striking individual with the presence and sparkle to make a show pony.

2008 Foals


Very precocious colt, born on Easter Sunday. He already thinks he is on the Olympic dressage squad with the most amazing, powerful and elastic movement. One to watch for the future, by Bandmaster out of Bowood Dancing Lady (Lord of the Dance ex Buttonhole). He is starting to lose his baby coat and is likely to be very dark like his mum.

Filly foal by Bandmaster. Seen here at six hours old, with her mum Bowood Sea Raven's Diamond (out of Broadstone Diamond Ice by Sea Raven) a half sister to Balmoral and Diamond. This filly foal is very bright and inquisitive, and thinks she is quite the little lady!

She has a very easy and elegant fluid movement. An active little madam that enjoys flying changes and going as fast as she can!
