We would like to share an important update regarding several of our horses and ongoing collaborations connected to Stellar Stud.
Stellar Summer Solstice, Stellar Magic Sundae and Stellar Cariad Aur are now owned by the de Jongh family / Zoelenzicht Stud in the Netherlands. Over the years, we have built a strong and very successful collaboration, and we are delighted to see these horses continue their journey within such knowledgeable and dedicated hands.
Zoelenzicht Stud is also leasing Friars Pavarotti, who will be presented at the annual stallion show in Ermelo in February.
Ysselvliedts Lord Llywel has returned to the Netherlands and is now owned by VIP Horses, another highly respected operation, and we are pleased to see him placed where his qualities can continue to develop and shine.
Samorens Kathy and Stellar Kimberley have been purchased by Tove Göransson, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. We are very happy to see both mare and her filly move to a home that shares our values regarding quality, care and long-term vision.
Stellar Khal Vici has been purchased by Haras des Mirys, a long-standing and highly successful collaboration that today owns several Stellar horses. Haras des Mirys previously leased him, and we are proud to see this partnership deepen further. Frozen semen from Stellar Khal Vici will be available from 2028.
In addition, Cannenburgh’s Jaap is now leased by Ambre Depuers Fiorente together with Laurie Desmond in France. He was previously leased by Haras des Mirys, and we are very pleased to see him continue his career within experienced and well-established breeding programmes.
Due to significant life changes, we have chosen to conclude our breeding programme on this scale.
Over the past year, our breeding has achieved considerable success internationally, with results in Sweden, France, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. We look forward to sharing more about these achievements in a forthcoming post.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all breeders, owners and partners who continue to believe in and develop the Stellar horses.
With love,
Eleonor
