HALCYON'S DARK SECRET
Sire: Daddy Cool
Dam: Rafinesse
DOB: May 9th 2005
Died: December 26th, 2017.
Secret was a 17.2hh mare with a sensational jump and was successfully campaigned by Victorian-based eventer, Rob Palm, up to 4*. Together, they were aiming for international stardom but Secret’s stellar career was cut short when she died unexpectedly in 2017 aged just 11.
HALCYON'S TOTAL JOY
Sire: Moorlands Totilas
Dam: Halcyon's Dark Secret
DOB: October 12th, 2012.
Secret's first foal was born in October 2012, a beautiful dark brown mare by dressage legend Moorlands Totilas and out of Halcyon's Dark Secret. She began her competitive life as an eventer, ridden by Rob Palm, who subsequently campaigned her as a show jumper, confidently jumping 1.40m. It has been in show jumping that her talent lies, taking after her dam, Secret, jumping with the same care, confidence and style.
HALCYON'S DARK KNIGHT
Sire: Diarado
Dam: Halcyon's Dark Secret
DOB: December 12th, 2015
Oliver was our first Diarado foal. He was gelded when young, and has grown into a tall, dark and handsome horse standing some 17.3hh. He is currently being successfully campaigned as a Grand Prix show jumper by his owner, Rob Palm.
HALCYON'S KOKO DIO
Sire: Diarado
Dam: Halcyon's Dark Secret
DOB: November 12th, 2017
Dio was such a great horse that we decided to try for another Diarado foal, and Dio was born in late 2017. Rob and Cassie Palm bought him soon after his birth, and is being successfully campaigned by Cassie. He is now gelded, but we sold him as a colt and he has sired 10 sensational foals, who we look forward to seeing out and about competing in a few year’s time.
HALCYON'S DARK HEART
Sire: Diarado
Dam: Halcyon's Dark Secret
DOB: December 5th, 2017
Tara is a lovely 7 year old mare, standing at 16hh. Her breaking in was disrupted by the Covid lockdowns, and so we decided to breed from her, with her first foal being born in 2021. She is was campaigned by Rob Palm, confidently jumping 105cm with an easy, confident way of going. She was sold in November 2024.
HALCYON'S SPRITE
SIRE: Sir Donnerhall
Dam: Halcyon's Total Joy
DOB: October 21st, 2018
With her superb bloodlines - her sire is the Champion Dressage stallion, Sir Donnerhall and her dam, Halcyon's Total Joy, is a Moorlands Totilas foal - Sprite is a star in the making. She is currently being worked by her new owners.
HALCYON'S AFTER THE STORM
Sire: All Star
Dam: Halcyon's Total Joy
DOB: November 16th, 2021
Storm is a sweet natured filly at the moment. With the genes of both her supremely talented parents, there is little doubt that she will make a top level show jumper. At barely one month old, she decided the grass was greener on the other side and jumped clean out of her paddock, leaving her startled Mum in her wake! During his competitive career, All Star, tall, athletic and powerful, was one of the best jumping horses on the international circuit, winning over 1.1 million euros in prize money. He is the sire of numerous successful foals, all of whom routinely fetch high prices at European auctions.
HALCYON'S CLOVER
Sire: Contendro 1
Dam: Halcyon’s Total Joy
DOB: October 4th 2022
Welcome to our newest team member, Clover. She was born at 4am on October 4th, 2022, and is by Contendro 1, out of Halcyon's Total Joy. Contendro 1 needs little introduction. He was the world's premier eventing sire for many years during the peak of his competitive career. He has produced some fabulous foals, who compete at the highest level internationally with great success in the three majors disciplines. As well as event horses, he has sired multiple Grand Prix show jumpers and Grand Prix dressage horses. Clover’s half brother, Chipmunk, riden by Michael Jung won the individual gold medal eventing at Paris 2024 Olympics. Not surprisingly, Contendro 1 foals are highly sought after in Europe, where they regularly fetch top prices. Clover is an exceptionally beautiful young horse, and we have great hopes for her future.
