Dot was acquired from the Henden Stud when they were reducing numbers in 2014, chosen because of her exceptionally rare female line. We unfortunately only managed to breed one foal from her before losing her due to injury in 2018.

Colour: Bay
Breeding: Costessa Kassam x Lanhill Alima
Pedigree Link: https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/holloway+aslan
Jim was the only foal we bred in 2016, as our other mare who scanned in foal to Costessa Kassam sadly absorbed her pregnancy. He had a very straightforward character and was backed and ridden as a 4yo. He did lots of loose jumping, showing impressive scope and technique over a fence. He was then sold on in 2021 and is now used in a riding school.

Pedigree Link: https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/holloway+azim
Flapjack was our first foal of 2017 and the first foal sired by Spark Kalaleh. His unusual dun colour along with his lovely type, temperament and rare bloodlines made him an attractive proposition to other breeders. He was sold to Sweden at weaning and is now used as a breeding stallion.

Sex: Mare

Pedigree Link: https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/holloway+farah
Erica was one of our large crop of foals in 2017 - and was our only progeny from Sirhowy Mustafa after our other foal from him sadly passed away. Her sire was chosen for his bloodlines and his exceptional temperament, as he had been used for pony club activities, despite being a stallion! Erica was sold to Sweden at 6 months old, at foot with her mother Holloway Fariba.

Effie was put in foal as a 3yo with the intention of potentially having a ridden career before returning to breeding later in life. She was subsequently sold to Sweden as a 4yo with her filly foal still at foot.

Charlie was the only foal I bred from his dam Holloway Forouz before her sale to France. His inquisitive and charming nature made a big impression on now owner Caroline Carrington, who quickly fell in love with him as a foal. He will be used for showing and agility competitions and potentially one day ridden. I'm sure that he will do very well, with his lovely type, good looks and impressive paces.

Rosie was the Caspian that I aimed to breed the moment I met her sire, Spark Zarrin Shah - a typey, correct Caspian with good movement, a pretty head, good paces and a striking colour! She had a foal for us as a 5yo, then due to a pressing need to downsize, was lightly backed and sold to France in early 2024.

Florence was our only foal from Henden Khandan-Dokht. She is the smaller, daintier type of Caspian, but well put together with a pretty head and lovely movement. We bred one foal from her and then covered her with Holloway Pirouz before selling her to France in early 2024. We hope that she will breed many foals to spread her exceptionally rare bloodlines!

May was the first foal from her mother Holloway Zarrin Minoo - and her only pure Caspian foal so far. Owner Caroline Carrington quickly fell in love with her sweet and friendly nature as a foal, taking over ownership at weaning. May has done lots of showing, agility and has completed many different classes and challenges in online Caspian classes, picking up plenty of prizes along the way. She will likely also be ridden and bred from in future.

Holloway Pirouz summer 2023
Brian was the first colt I ever bred - and despite me vowing to never own a stallion, was so nice that I couldn't quite bring myself to castrate him! He exuded quality from birth and loved to show off, but still remained very sane, sensible and handleable in all situations. He was only shown on one occasion, in the CHS breed show at Ashby in 2016 as a yearling. He won the Youngstock class, then went into the Championship and left as Supreme Champion Caspian!
Brian was never ridden due to lack of time, but did all the lunging, long-reining and loose jumping - and was know to jump out of the school when he didn't feel that the intended fences were high enough!
He sired 4 lovely foals in the UK and had covered another mare, Holloway Khandeh in 2023. Brian was sold to France in 2024 (along with Holloway Khandeh and Brian's foal in utero). A lovely colt foal has arrived safely and I understand that many more mares are covered for 2025 foals!

Pippa was the third foal and second daughter of my foundation mare Bytham Parimetta. Although she wasn't the dun colour that I had ordered, she is a lovely type, a good mover and a friendly and inquisitive character. She bred a foal in 2022 and was sold to France in early 2024, where she will continue breeding to preserve the extremely rare Pari* female line.
