Progeny

Sambourne Sirius was born 11th April 2020 and his mum is Delphine and his dad is Jim Bob.  Sirius is a skewbald colt but may turn Piebald and will make 16hh or more. His full brother from last year is Sambourne Telo, and he is also a full brother to Jester and Minstrel.  He is a big substantial foal and going to turn into a real stunner. Going to be very eye catching in the show ring and have some serious potential in the sporting field. 

Sambourne Romeo was born 1st April 2020 and his mum is Romance and his dad is Jim Bob.  He is a piebald foal and will make 16hh plus and has a CHAPS passport. Romeo will make 16hh and has lovely tobanio markings and great movement.  Romeo was one of a twin but very sadly his sister passed away on the 6th April.  Romeo will make a great competition sports horse and should do well in ridden and in hand showing classes.  He has inherited the lovely nature of both his Mum and Dad. 

Skittles is a 5 year old Gelding who has won numerous times in ridden and in hand showing classes.  A very adaptable and agile horse he currently competes in show jumping, Hunter Trials and has proved to be a very capable Hunter.  He is by Jim Bob out of a mare called Honey and has a full sister - Indigo - who is a year younger than him.

Sambourne Lyra is a Skewbald Filly foal out of Good Charlotte and by Jim Bob and was born 14th March 2020.  She is a full sister to Sambourne Alator.  Lyra has lovely markings and is a real character, always inquisitive and nosing into everything.  Great sporting horse potential as well as in hand or ridden showing career.  She will make 16.2hh plus.  

Sambourne Khione is a Skewbald Filly foal out of Sparkle and by Jim Bob.  She is named after the Greek Goddess of Snow and was born 24th March 2020.  Her full brother from last year is Sambourne Janus and she lives with her brother in Wales.  Sparkle has a great dressage and showjumping pedigree and there is no reason why Khione will not do the same.  She will make 16hh or more and has lovely even markings both side sand lovely flair and action.  Khione should look really good in a ridden showing class. 

Sambourne Talos is a Piebald Colt foal by Jim Bob and out of Montego Breeze and is a full brother to Sambourne Anubis (Albie), and was born on the 26th February 2020.  He will make 16.2hh.    A good solid strong bodied foal who has even markings both sides.  Absolutely wonderful personality and temperament, loves a cuddle.  Should have a good showing career ahead of him as will have lots of ability to compete in any sports horse discipline. 

Sambourne Castor is a Piebald Colt foal out of Sky Dancer and by Jim Bob and is a full brother to Hidden Agenda (Boston) and Sambourne Kesara and was born on the 14th March 2020.  He is currently a skewbald but will turn piebald.  Lovely elegant looking boy has a lot of presence and quality about him which he has inherited from his mother. Very inquisitive and eager to learn and will be good dressage prospect.  

It is with deep sadness I have to announce that Skye was put to sleep on vet advice on 21st April 2022 at 9.30am.  Skye had suffered with lymphangitis from March 2021 just before she was due to foal.  Despite us treating it almost immediately with antibiotics it took a hold.  We did everything our vets told us to do, ensured she had lots of exercise but the leg never really recovered.  We had five different vets out to attend to eight attacks and the last attack took place some three weeks ago where we put her on a ten day antibiotic and steroid programme which seemed to work and reduce the leg back down. The attending vet at the time warned us that she would be battling attacks like this for the rest of her life so we would need to seriously consider the quality of her life.  During that time we had her scanned for pregnancy and found out she had a tumor on her left ovary which had grown enormously and had impacted the right one reducing it in size meaning there would be no chance of getting her in foal.  The vets offered an expensive operation to remove the left ovary and she would then have the Summer to recover during which the right ovary should recover and start functioning as normal thus being able to use her as a broodmare again. However on the 20th April, Skye suffered a substantial lymphangitis attack causing her leg to swell considerably and the decision was then made to put her to sleep.  Skye was a complete lunatic at times but I loved her dearly and she did love me in her funny kind of way.  I loved her deeply, RIP Skye.

Skye retired from racing in October 2018 but raced in six races from 2017 to 2018 and managed to get placed on a few occasions.  She is a lovely well made, athletic mare standing 16.1hh and was born in 2013. She is by Sea Freedom out of a mare called Money Central who is by Central Park. Skye had a lovely dun filly foal on the 15th April which is called Sambourne Carissa by Kinsky Abraham.  Skye has turned out to be a fantastic mum and is really protective and loves her foal.  Skye will be left empty this year and covered in Spring of 2022.

May is a 16.1hh registered Bay Thoroughbred mare born in 2007 mare by Indian Danehill.  She had a very successful racing career winning 2 hurdle races and ran in flat, hurdle, chases and point to points but suffered a career ending injury and has come to us to live the rest of her life as a broodmare.  Lovely mare and very easy to do.  Very sadly May was put to sleep on veterinary advice on 31st October 2022.  She succumbed to a life threatening and extremely sudden attack of colitis within 24 hours with no hope of recovery.  We loved May and will miss her terribly but will cherish her one and only filly foal.
