Purpose Bred 1* Eventer

Attractive purpose bred black 7yo 17hh gelding by Feldale Regardless R, from a Staccato/thoroughbred mare. This lovely boy has it all, good breeding, great personality, easy going and trainable temperament, and is extremely talented in all 3 phases for Eventing!

Skyfall is a full brother to Feldale Short Black who is currently being successfully campaigned at 2* eventing with Oliver Barrett. ‘Shorty’ is also easily jumping around 1.20m SJ courses.

Skyfall is confidently training Elementary dressage, 1* Eventing and 1.10-15m SJ. He has had numerous placings in straight Novice dressage tests and 95cm & 1m SJ.

His sire, Regardless R is by the amazing Grand Prix Dressage star, Regardez Moi (imp) campaigned by Heath Ryan.

Regardez Moi is the most winning Grand Prix dressage stallion in Australian history with more than 40 Grand Prix wins. He won the Grand Prix Freestyle Grand Final at Equitana in three consecutive years. Regardez Moi won the Grand Prix Freestyle at the Sydney CDI a record breaking 6 times. Notably, Regardez Moi is the only stallion in the world who competed at the top dressage levels alongside his own progeny who have also reached these levels, particularly Utopian Cardinal. Regardez Moi is genetically way ahead of his time being by Rubinstein, a double cross of Angelo, backed up by Consul, Donnerhall, Pik Bube and Swazi.

Regardless R’s dam is by Grand Kavalier (imp), a jet-black Westphalian, 17.1 hh with tremendous bone and elegance. Grand Kavalier comes from one of the world's most famous dressage families. His mother is a full sister to Rubinstein, ridden by Nicole Uphoff. His grandmother is the dam of Rembrandt and is a full sister to famous dressage horses Ahlerich and Amon. Through his sire Grundstein II, Grand Kavalier also possesses the brilliant jumping lines of Grande and Gotthard.

Skyfall’s dam is by Staccato who is arguably the most successful sire of eventers currently standing in Australia. Staccato himself was ranked the No 1 Eventing stallion in the world for several years with wins at CIC4* level. Staccato also competed very successfully to Prix St George and Inter1 level dressage later in his career.

Staccato is the sire of Panamera and Sandhills Brillaire consecutive winners of Adelaide CCI4* in 2011 & 2012.

Staccato is by Salute who produced Grand Prix dressage horses, GV Stirling Stilton and Victory Salute as well as numerous 3* eventers.

Staccato is out of Smiler who was by Pacific Prince out of a King of Babylon mare. This classic Australian thoroughbred breeding has been responsible for many Advanced eventers and Grand Prix show jumpers.

Skyfall`s father, Regardless R (deceased) was very successfully campaigned by Felicity Cribb at the now 2* Eventing with numerous wins and placings all the way up the grades. He also competed 1.20cm Show jumping and placed well in Prix St. George Dressage competitions with scores of over 65% consistently. Regardless loved going out to competitions showing off his beautiful “look at me” attitude in public. His particularly easy-going placid temperament was regularly demonstrated when, away from home, he was tied to the side of the truck alongside his stable mates. Regardless has another talented offspring in Sandhills Bliss who’s competing successfully at 3* Eventing and 1.20m Show jumping with young Tasmanian rider Bethany Hirst.

Skyfall would thrive with a competitive junior/inter-schools or inexperienced older rider in any of the Olympic disciplines and would equally excel within a professional`s stable with the ability to reach the top in Eventing.
