Falcon Sporthorses
of Australia

Our broodmares are chosen because of a combination of breeding, performance and trainability.

SKANSEN CLOUD 9 - (Cloudy) 16.3h bay mare by Jet Set D - Lady Handcrafted. Cloudy is one of the most beautiful mares you will ever see - she was developing a successful dressage career when it was discovered that she had a cracked tooth and there was an abscess in her upper jaw, which required major surgery. While she was recovering we decided to put her in foal and so began her new career as a broodmare. She has had three beautiful foals for us. Falcon Lunar - a filly by Welfenadel, Falcon Royale - a colt by Royal Hit and Falcon Disco Hit, also by Royal Hit. Click here for Cloudy's performance.

FALCON LADYHAWKE - (Monday) 16.3h TB bay mare began her career as a hack. However when we bought her we discovered that she had quite a jump and John evented her to Advanced level. He always says that she was one of the most honest horses he has ever ridden. Always tried her heart out. When she was 10 years old we retired her and since then she has had four lovely foals. Viva, by Vivant, Stormboy by Premier Des Hayettes, Finale by Falcon Legacy and Sunday by Abduell II.

She has placed in nearly every competition that she has been to. Stellar is all class and has enormous potential as a serious performance mare.

FALCON STORMBOY' - Bay gelding 16.3 h -5 yo/2002
by - Premier des Hayattes - Falcon Ladyhawke

We think Stormboy has tremendous ability. His flatwork is excellent and he has beautiful rhythm in the trot. Over the jumps he has incredible scope with great technique behind, which is a trademark of the Premier des Heyettes youngsters. He is brave and bold with a good attitude.

FALCON SPLASH (By Falcon Jigsaw) featured here is one of our all time favourites.
  
We bred him and John competed with him  very successfully in dressage, eventing and showjumping until he went to the US four years ago.  Suzanne his first owner in the US competed in eventing and she and Splash did well.  Then a year ago Boyd Martin took over the ride and rode him at his first Advanced 3*** 3DE  start, where he was 11th.  To see a slideshow of Boyd and Falcon Splash, click here
Now Splash has a new owner -  15 year old Jacob Fletcher who is a young up and coming eventer from Arkansas.   Jacob and Splash are developing a good partnership and were recently selected to ride at the North American Junior Young Rider Championships at CCI* level  at Lexington Kentucky where they were 14th overall and 5th in the team event. 
Jacob hopes to ride next year with Splash at the Young Rider Championships at CCI** level.
We'll be keeping up with Jacob and Splash and wish them well in the future.

Over the years we have bred and sold many horses, but it's only quite recently with digital and video cameras, that we have been able to have photos and video clips of them taken from the day they are born to their first competition and beyond. It's great to have that record and any horses we breed and sell now, come with 'baby pics' videos and a record of performance.
