Tresaison Stud

Spotted Sport Horses

Bibi bred a delightful filly in 2001 by Dance with Wolves,  Tresaison Sahiba, who has won or been placed top 3 every time out and was overall SUPREME CHAMPION at the 2003 NATIONAL APPALOOSA SHOW as a 2 yr old.  Her full brother (2003) Tresaison Lone Wolf, a bay blanket spotted gelding, has recently been sold to a showing and dressage home where we know he will be outstanding.  We have retained this only daughter as a performance prospect/brood mare.

Bibi’s  2005 colt by Dance With Wolves,  a black based blanket spot, has been sold to a showing and dressage home where he will be retained as colt and will stand at stud in due course, as will her 2006 colt Davinci.

Bibi foaled a stunning black blanket filly in spring 2007 which will be retained by us to continue her bloodline.

Lizzie is only small, standing only about 15hh, but she always throws very big foals being out of a 16.3hh TB herself!   She is a Champion in her own right and has many champion offspring, Amazing Rainbeau and Mannog April Blues being two of them.  Her latest achievement after a show ring gap of many years was winning the Broodmare class at the 2004 BApS National Show at the age of 19.  She constantly throws top quality from a variety of stallions. 

Had surprise colt foal by  Dance With Wolves  July 25th 2005 and foaled another exquisite colt by  Dance With Wolves in 2007. Lizzie has now gone to Laura Baird at Chamfron Stud in Scotland.

Junius XX

Truly a Princess XX

The sire of this mare needs no introduction, the famous Klaus, 12 times National Appaloosa Champion. ‘Fluff’ carries on a lot of his qualities and passes them very strongly on to her offspring.  

Her son ‘LJ Prince of Thieves’ passed the BApS stallion assessment at 2 yrs of age with an ‘excellent’ mark in every category and is now BE Eventing at Intermediate level.  ‘Fluff’ herself has always been placed when shown.  She has had 7 foals so far, all by Dances With Wolves, and all of outstanding quality.  

Hellovalass attended the 2006 KNN Knabstrupper grading, and was graded with a 7 overall from both the Classic and Sport Horse judges, and was awarded an 8 for type and body from the Sport Horse judges.  The judges commented on her quality and noble breeding and her excellent suitability as a broodmare.

In foal to  Nobody’s Harlequin for a 2008 foal.

Rozel Bay is a retired racehorse, having raced on the flat and over hurdles. She has a very willing temperament and passes on her refined looks and athleticism to her foals.  

Her first offspring, a filly by Dance With Wolves was FEMALE CHAMPION at the 2003 NATIONAL APPALOOSA SHOW the first time ever shown.   Her first Knabstrupper offspring, Tresaison Gracie was BEST MARE IN SHOW, and OVERALL BEST IN SHOW at the 2007 ENGLISH KNN KNABSTRUPPER GRADING.

Rozie produced the first very special filly foal by our young Knabstrupper Stallion in 2004 (see Offspring page)  who has outstanding presence and movement. She had another fantastic filly by Knabstrupper Nobody’s Harlequin  in May 2005, and she produced another stunning colt by him in May 2006.

You can never have too much of a good thing, and Rozie foaled another stunning bay blanket colt by  Nobody’s Harlequin in 2007 - this colt is now sold.... another full sibling is due in May 2008.

Poppy is an upstanding 16.3hh TB mare with excellent conformation, temperament and paces.  She was chosen particularly for her athleticism, movement and breeding which will combine excellently with either stallion at the stud.  Her Sire Joli Wasfi is sire of many successful eventers including Intermediate stallion Diamond Dancer. Poppy has successfully competed at dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country before being purchased by us for use as a brood mare.

She had a fantastic filly by our graded Knabstrupper Nobody’s Harlequin in May 2005 and followed that this year with another filly, this time a bay leopard and equally tall!

Dana's sire, Xanthos,  is the renowned leopard spotted Knabstrupper stallion who sired Zanko,  a graded Knabstrupper stallion who won two gold medals at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens (see News page).

Dana had a black few spot filly born 13th April 2005 by the stunning Danish Knabstrupper ‘Xquisit Middelsom’ (KNN 144) which is being retained.   In 2006 she blessed us with an outstanding leopard colt by Nobody’s Harlequin,  who was much sought after and was sold within 3 weeks of being born! Dana foaled an equally stunning full brother, a fewspot colt in July 2007. This foal was awarded a PREMIUM at the KNN UK Grading in 2007 and described as a 'harmonious type'.  He has been sold to Australia and will be the first Knabstrupper stallion to stand there.

She is in foal to Nobody's Harlequin again for 2008 for, hopefully, another cracking foal!

She is another fine example of the modern Sports type Knabstrupper with a huge trot and tremendous elevation.  She will most likely be competed in dressage or eventing when she continues with her ridden career.

Although a solid brown, Lambada will always produced coloured offspring when bred to our resident Knabstrupper stallion Nobody’s Harlequin.   Her type, conformation and paces are the ideal compliment to his and she was bought with this purpose in mind.   Her 2006 colt has been sold to a home where he will be produced for dressage.

Another lovely fully graded and branded Danish Knabstrupper mare.  Yellow combines the Knabstrupper blood with Danish Warmblood making her an ideal type of Sport horse mare and a fantastic partner for our Knabstrupper stallion. Yellow  was purchased in foal and produced a superb quality 2005 bay near leopard filly, to make around 16.1-16.2hh (see 2005 foals page) by  Xantast Middelsom KNN126 - fully graded leopard Knabstrupper stallion standing 168cm. 

Her 2004 filly by the same sire won best foal at the 2004 grading in Denmark . 

Her first foal by  Nobody’s Harlequin  did not disappoint - she foaled a huge, stunning fewspot colt on 6th April 2007.

We are unusually combining the Appaloosa and Knabstrupper with Tildes first foal with us,  as her type is such a good match for our senior stallion  Dance With Wolves, and the 2006 covering resulted in a handsome fewspot colt being born in April 2007. 

Tilde  is a white born (fewspot) Knabstrupper mare by Don Ibrahim (KNN 92).  She graded with an '8' overall at her KNN grading.

She is a fantastic stamp of mare with huge quality and presence and we are very lucky to have her among our herd.  She stands around 166cm.  All her offspring by different sires have been outstanding, two of which are currently also in the UK .  

Tilde had a very handsome fewspot colt in April 2007 by Dance With Wolves .  This 2007 foal is for sale.

This 2008 foal will be eagerly awaited, and is guaranteed to exhibit some form of spotted coat pattern, and is destined to be an outstanding athletic sport horse with excellent movement.

Massive paces, superb temperament, beautiful head and temperament and of course a guarantee of a spotted colour pattern from any of her offspring.

She breeds spotted competition horses of size and quality.  She herself is 163cm, and is pure bred being 75% Knabstrupper in the 3rd generation.

A perfect combination of the two main Knabstrupper Sporthorse lines in the second generation, with Apollon as maternal grandsire and Xanthos as paternal grandsire.

Dance With Wolves

Sahiba is a delightful mare, born 2002 out of Bibi Sahiba and by Dance with Wolves. Sahiba has won / been placed every time out and was overall SUPREME CHAMPION at the 2003 NATIONAL APPALOOSA SHOW.  

Severn Magic (TB)

We have owned Magic for several years and she has been a very successful racehorse.  She was never out of the first three whenever she  completed the race and her final race was winning the Hunt race at our local Pt to Pt. Apart from that she is very well put together and has lovely paces too.

Unlike the majority of our horses, Magic will be used to produce potential racehorses and will go to good TB stallions.

Elektra stands around 16.3hh. She is of excellent quality with good limbs, plenty of presence and a fantastically sweet nature. 

15.3hh (to mature 16hh) white born, black based with no sabino (4 dark triangles).  

Lupi carries some of the old and well respected classical Knabstrupper bloodlines as well as the Sport types.  One of a very few 100% purebred fillies in the UK making her a valuable asset to our mare group.  

She combines bone and substance with quality and she has a refined, feminine head.   
Three good straight paces and an easy, trainable temperament as you would expect.

Skovlys Dana

15.2hh (to mature 15.3/16hh) black based few spot. 

Diva is our first homebred KNN registered Knabstrupper filly and she was retained by us as a brood mare.  She carries some of the very best Knabstrupper and Warmblood lines going back to Ramiro Z.  She has correct, compact conformation and great paces as you would expect from a filly with this breeding.  She has a bold and inquisitive nature and a very trainable attitude.
