Breeders of eventing
and multi-discipline
competitive horses
based in Lincoln, UK
A love of horses and devotion to
increasing health and function in
competitive equine athletes
guides our breeding choices.
We aim to provide foals and
young stock with the potential to
compete up the levels under the
training of a professional rider
while having the trainability to
achieve the levels of ‘top class all-
rounder’ and ‘best friend’ in the
hands of a capable amateur.
Why We Stand Out
Springline Stud has rapidly developed from a hobby, with our first foal in 2020, into a small breeding enterprise dedicated to developing unique bloodlines and producing youngstock with the ability to meet a variety of equestrian buyers’ needs. Our passion is eventing and we strive to breed a selection of foals ranging from those who have the potential to achieve at the higher levels in the sport and others bred to deliver ability, temperament and trainability for competitive amateur riders wishing to produce a youngster for themselves.

The values behind our breeding choices
We believe that every horse deserves a happy and fulfilling life. All our mares, stallions and youngstock are provided with an active and horse-appropriate lifestyle for their happiness and wellbeing..
All our horses are treated as individuals to
allow the development of positive relationships
with humans from an early age and for their
characters to blossom.
We favour innovative sources of blood for
improving endurance, stamina, speed and
longevity in our foals.
Temperament is key: whether for a professional
or amateur rider, our youngsters are bred and
raised to promote their desire to please.
We believe in developing eye-catching
aesthetics without compromising on
conformation, athleticism and trainability
After
many
years
of
being
involved
with
horses,
the
inherent
risk
of
injury
and
subsequent
premature
retirement
of
the
horse
you
had
pinned
your
hopes
on
as
a
rider
and
care
giver
were
made
abundantly
clear
to
me.
Equally,
the
inherent
cynicism
associated
with
the
task
of
purchasing
a
horse
developed
in
me
to
the
extent
of
vowing
never
to
purchase
a
horse
with
the
intention
of
riding
it!
Experience
tainted
me
to
believe
that
sellers
are
not
to
be
trusted
and,
although
there
is
always
an
element
of
luck
involved
with
a
horse’s
soundness,
there is often a substantial element of hidden history, whether that be hidden by the seller of a 10year old or by the owner 3 years prior.
As
a
result,
I
will
only
buy
broodmares
(and
even
then,
it
is
hoped
that
as
we
progress
there
will
be
no
need
for
this
and
we
can
rely
on
mares
we
have
bred
and
retained
to
carry
the
next
generation)!
Any
horse
I
wish
to
ride
will
be
one
we
have
bred
ourselves.
This
isn’t
to
say
that
a
young
horse
cannot
injure
itself;
with
good
fortune
and
a
following
wind
we
can
offer
the
majority
of
our
youngsters
with
no
history
of
injury.
But
breeding
allows
an
absolute
knowledge
of
every
smallest
issue
that
may
have
occurred
in
the
young
horse’s
lifetime
and
gives
the
honour
of
passing
every
smallest
detail
to
their
new
owner,
thus
giving
the
horse
the
opportunity
to
receive
the
best
care
and
the
owner
the
best
chance
of
creating
the
horse
of
their
dreams.
On
a
similar
sentiment,
all
the
broodmares
we
purchase
are
in
a
permanent
home
once
they
arrive
with
us
or
have
entered
into
being
career
broodmares
to
eliminate
the
chances
of
past
history
going
missing in between new owners as well as to repay them for their services to us by giving that secure home beyond retirement.
Our
aspirations
are
to
produce
sports
horses
from
more
diverse
lines
to
combat
the
ever
narrowing
gene
pools
being
created
by
the
ongoing
use
of
the
most
popular,
almost
‘trending’
warmblood
names.
Granted
there
are
many
great
horses
in
competition
from
such
lines,
and
we
favour
well
bred
brood
mares
carrying
some
of
these
tighter
genetics
but
favour
introducing
unusual
cold
blood
lines
to
make
heavier
all
rounders
with
talent
for
amateurs
to
progress
in
the
sport,
or
novel
hot
blood
to
produce
competitive
eventer
types
while reducing the use of thorobred genetics as a means to created blood type event horses with increased health and longevity.
Originally,
I
was
strongly
of
the
opinion
that
breeding
for
colour
is
not
appropriate
and
detracts
from
the
importance
of
breeding
for
conformation
and
temperament
until
I
considered
‘why
can’t
we
have
all
these
things
in
one
package’.
Maybe
one
day
we
will
prove
that
a
horse of mixed bloodlines with unusual colouring can make it to the top in sport as much as a bay or grey warmblood can!
