WORDS FROM HORSE BUYERS
& OWNERS OF OUR BREEDINGS
Stellar Magica de Spell – “One in a Million”“Maggie” is a sweet and charming little individual. Not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, noble, and feminine, but she also shows a strong desire to do things right. The fact that she comes from an incredible lineage with many impressive achievements on both sides of her pedigree doesn’t hurt her case either.She’s a gentle soul who comes across as somewhat sensitive but never nervous or stressed. Very quick to learn, she has a wonderful attitude towards work and training. Brave yet cautious, she is constantly developing and demonstrates great capability. She adapts easily, and after encountering new situations, she shows immense trust in her owner. She has a lovely temperament but also a strong sense of self, which enhances her unique character.Maggie is currently in training under saddle and is showing good acceptance as she is introduced to new challenges. In 2025, she will participate in both exhibitions and her 3-year test. She’s a future children’s pony destined to provide her family with countless wonderful moments and memories together.Karoline Jönsson, Sweden
We purchased Cadlanvalley Limelight unseen from Eleonor at Stellar Stud in December 2023. She arranged transport to the UK and he arrived safely to us and was exactly as described. Before he arrived, I wanted to find a companion pony for him to live out as we had nothing suitable for a 2.5yr old colt. Eleonor kindly reached out to her network and helped find us the perfect companion. Limelight has great confirmation, movement and an amazing temperament. He clearly had a good start in life at the stud. I would not hesitate to recommend or buy another pony from Stellar Stud.McKenna Glass, England
Stellar stud has a lot of wonderful ponies. We bought some from Eleonor Marklund. The transport to Germany was no problem and the ponies arrived safely at our stable. They are very lovely and friendly ponies, very good for younger children and the whole family. They are always friendly and happy if you do some work with them, or just cleaning them. Wonderful and sweet character, all of them. So we can say thank you, Eleonor, that we had the chance to buy some of your lovely ponies. We recommend your stud to all of our network, friends and family. We also would like to mention that our Welsh Mountain sec A cremello stallion Stellar Lux Legacy is available through semen in the EU. He is ECVM-free, and characterized by great movement, great jumping ability and a fantastic character. He is a darling! ❤️❤️❤️Elisabeth Bröskamp, Germanywww.reitponys-broeskamp.de
In September 2024, Stellar Magic Sundae and Stellar Cariad Aur joined our stables for the coming years. When Eleonor asked if we wanted to rent them, I immediately knew what I wanted to answer: yes of course! We are also breaking in Sundae and that is going very well. I also had my first real show success with Sundae because I had never been Overall Supreme Youngstock Champion with a pony before. Aur is also a very handsome pony, she is still in full development, but I think this power pony will really become a pony that you will hear a lot about in the future! Contact with Eleonor is always very good. Eleonor always likes it when I send photos and videos of them. I am still very grateful that I had the opportunity to have these 2 top ponies in my stable!Hendrik de Jongh, Holland
I bought my two kittens Batman & Robin from Eleonor a few years ago. They came to me as kittens and she traveled with them all the way from Östersund down to Stockholm so that I could meet them and take them home. I know that Eleonor cares extremely much about her beloved animals, cares a lot about their welfare and their long-term well-being, and it is clear that she does not sell her animals to anyone with a wallet, and wants follow up with them even after they have moved on. So I am very happy that I was trusted to buy my cats.Anna at Viahov, Swedenwww.viahov.se
What a special opportunity our son Hendrik and daughter Calijn got when we leased two ponies from Stellar Stud!They are two cool ponies that they can train and have fun with. Sundae has a very sweet character and wants to work very much. When breaking in her it was actually just as easy as getting on and riding away. Aur is a younger pony that will walk through fire for you after she knows and trusts you.We think it is very important that our ponies get time and that they enjoy the work just like our children. We take the time, and ensure a lot of variety in the work.I would definitely recommend Stellar Stud to lease or buy a good pony from, and we are very happy that we have the opportunity to work with you as your ponies are very special!Thank you for giving our children this chance. For Hendrik as a young presenter, it is very special to be able to enter the arena with such ponies and to be allowed to go. For Calijn it is very special to be allowed to work under the saddle with Sundae. This is a chance that they will take with them for their future, a memory that they will always carry in their hearts.Darya Bronkhorst, Holland
Almost 2 years ago we bought a white little fairy pony from Stellar Stud. As first-time horse owners, we had a thousand questions that Eleonor answered patiently, and she sent pictures and videos. It was very important that the horse should be used to children, or at least kind and not shy, as we have two horse-crazy kids.This purchase turned out so well. Sky, as our pony is called, is incredibly calm and self-assured, and of course the kindest in the world. The children come up with ideas such as a picnic in the paddock with the horses, a football match, a walk in the garden, riding in the fields, etc. And Sky, she cheerfully and patiently follows our antics.We can highly recommend Stellar Stud and Eleonor, extremely knowledgeable, reads both horse and human for the best match possible.Karolina af Trolle, Sweden
Stellar Supermoon or Stella as she is called is a wonderful little pony with a big heart. Always so happy and playful. We thank the trust from Eleonor and Stellar Stud that we were able to buy this wonderful little pony who gives us so much joy.Eva Tällberg, Sweden
We bought a stallion from Eleonor, Cadlanvalley James Bond. He is an extraordinary pony, very kind and with a lot of abilities! A real sports pony for children! Eleonor helped us find a carrier and prepare the arrangements to bring him back to France. We would happily buy other ponies from Stellar Stud.Aurélia Noé, France
We first came in contact with Stellar Stud when we bought Stellar Blushing Bride. Bella has a great pedigree and well thought out breeding, which she has also proven with success in the show ring. She is completely uncomplicated and confident in all new environments despite her young age. The year after we bought her brother, Stellar Braveheart, who is a calm and pleasant pony. He is a curious, social and contact-seeking individual. The business went smoothly with the breeder and she is always supportive and interested in their development.Olivia Nilsson, Sweden
I can highly recommend Eleonor as a person to buy from! Our lovely section B filly we bought from her sight unseen a few months back was every bit as she was represented to us and I would buy her again anytime!Kareen Heineking, Germanywww.germanhorseconnection.com
Cosford Chain Mail is the most sweet and gentle little pony. He moves like a dream and loves to be groomed and ridden by our children.Linn Åkerstedt, Sweden
I told myself that I would never have a mare again, but then I found Margharita Falkenhorst Z and was offered to loan her for a year! More secure and sound mare cannot be found!Vanessa Olsson, Sweden
Your breeding Royal Highness is a fantastic pony with a big heart for small children!Linda Rausmark, Sweden
