My Horses

Belissimo M

Belissimo needs no introduction. One of the most brilliantly talented and successful breeding stallions in the world, I feel extremely honoured to ride, train and compete such an amazing horse. Belissimo's breeding accolades are endless and as a young dressage horse he was a champion on the international stage. Since the age of 6 however, Bello stopped his competition career due to his very demanding breeding schedule.

Simba

Simba and I teamed up in March 2011. This is a very special guy who has well and truely stolen my heart. He is Aussie owned, bred and loved and supported by many from our homeland. Simba knows exactly who he does and does not want around him leaving no doubt what his opinion is of you with one of his numerous facial expressions.

Underneath the macho however, is a true Aussie battler. Proud, strong, loyal! Once he steps into that arena, he is an absolute workman, always striving to do the very best job he can possibly do for me. Recently we have enjoyed our first national German Grand Prix competitions with good placings and percentages. In 2012 we are looking forward to our international debut. Simba is a powerhouse who needs time to come into his own, but I believe in him and I know that this guy will be the one that has my back when times get tough.

Francy

Francy is the sexy, black beauty of the stable. As all 'diva' positions are already filled by the lads, Fancy-Francy is the true smooch. Undemanding, courteous and very lady-like, she often finishes the day as the teachers pet! Francy and I only teamed up in September 2011 when she was acquired by Kate and Perry Wilson of Davrol Warmblood Stud in Australia.

I have been extremely lucky to have been given the opportunity to have Francy in my stable following the death of Relampago mid 2011. Showing high potential for all the Grand Prix work I am looking forward to getting to know this elegant lady and hitting the shows in 2012.

Sun and Fun

Sunny by name and sunny by nature! A sweet and always charming albeit somewhat shy little mummy's boy, Sunny remains happy in his disposition day in and day out. He has been in my stable for coming on 12 months now and has been train, train, training for his future. The stable pin up poster boy, he is one of the most stunning types of horses I have ever come across.

2001 born, licensed Oldenberger stallion, Sunny's youth was not focused on a professional competition career. It was not until purchased by Cavallias in late 2010 and arriving in my stables 12 months ago did he begin to learn about the 'real' sport. There has been much to learn and much power to gain but we are well and truly on the way and aiming toward the upcoming competition season.
