We have named her "Incredible Soprano SSH" a somewhat musical note in nuance of her dam's stable name "Bach" Her own stable name Sophia, after the dark eyed and beautiful actress Sophia Lauren.

Sophia is an exceptional quality mare who has captured our hearts with her mesmerising presence and glamour. She impresses with her beautiful long lines, elegance and graceful light stepped paces.

Sophia has already brought home many red ribbons and trophies with a 1st in the sport horse foal class at the prestigious Royal Highland Show qualifying for the Scottish Sports Horse Championship Finals 2013.

At Braco she stole the show and stood center stage winning the sport horse foal class, Inhand Champion and Overall Sport Horse/ Hunter Supreme Championship.

At the Scottish Sports Horse Championship Finals she stood National Foal Champion Reserve to our homebred Infallible SSH and ended the season in September as Champion Dressage Foal at the UK KWPN Keurings Scotland and 2nd Highest scoring dressage foal UK KWPN nationwide. She really is Incredible.

Now three years old Sophia has been confirmed in foal to the dressage sensation Totilas. We await with great anticipation on the arrival of this world class breeding.

A very special thank you to Marja and Simon at Stal Barhorn in the Netherlands in gifting their very special KWPN Elite mare Bachoera SV to us on breeding loan.
