Stallions


Mountain Storm was our first performance stallion. He was a part Cleveland Bay horse, bred in Ireland, by the pure Cleveland Bay Forest Fortunate, out of Miniheela MiniWho was by the Thoroughbred stallion Arctic Que.
Mountain Storm had excellent conformation and a super temperament. He was a good, careful jumper. Unfortunately he didn’t really take to show-jumping, although he was a winner of smaller B.S.J.A classes. He excelled as a hunter.
Mountain Storm had the most super temperament and he even added to our farm income by working as a hireling hunter in winter. There are not many stallions who could do that!
He passed on his excellent jump to his off-spring. The best is undoubtedly Stormhill Barndance, a little mare out of thoroughbred called Farmer’s Fun, little Barndance went on to jump very well, both for us and for her new owner.
Storm was never used on many mares, a handful of mine, perhaps, and 3-4 visiting mares. He produced very good-looking animals.
Unfortunately, when we bought Kremlin, I couldn’t really afford to keep Storm as well, so he went on his way to be gelded and become a full-time hunter.



Here we see Mountain Storm’s best daughters, Stormhill Barndance and Stormhill Gazelle, and, a prizewinning foal of his, who was also out of Farmer’s Fun.
We will shortly give you the history of the stud, which is irrevocably linked to the mare families.
Farmer’s Fun with Stormhill Lumberjack, a full brother to Stormhill Barndance.
Stormhill Gazelle This mare is out of Sweet Sirenia. Gazelle has competed with success in France and her offspring, Stormhill Antlope and Quinou Play are now flying the flag in their respcective countries.
We will give you his complete pedigree another day, this has taken up a lot of time
for a stallion who was used very little. His true value may be as a maternal grandsire.
His grandaughter Qiunou Play, in France seems to have inherited his careful jump,
as has his broodmare daughter, Stormhill Expedition, currently at our own stud. I
do hope he leaves us something worthwhile, he was a very likeable horse with a beautiful,
almost feminine head with a large, kind eye.
