A huge thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Christmas Auction. A fantastic evening filled with Christmas spirit, exciting horse sales, fabulous food and delicious drinks. 

We welcomed the public to Hickstead on the 14th for a night of Christmas magic. We had 17 exciting lots to sell, including two pretty ponies, nine top class British foals and six exciting 3&4yos on offer.  

The lots sold quickly, with our top sale being the lovely 3-year-old BE Valencia (Cuick Star Kervec x Zarnita) who went for £61,000. We are so excited to follow what this future star will go on to do, with his full sister, BE Coolham, being sold in our last auction and already impressing in her new home and recording top results in the 5-year-old classes at MET.  

Our top foal of the night was B.E. Malachi, and the hammer dropped on him at £15,000. By the KWPN Champion Lucky Luck and out of the 5* 8-year-old mare Elmira Mail, this foal has a black type pedigree with the looks and confirmation to back it up. He will be one to watch in the future and we wish the owners the best of luck with him! 

A huge thanks to our entire team who make nights like these possible. It truly takes a village to put on these events and with the second edition of the BE Auction was another huge success. Until the next one – Merry Christmas!  

BE Christmas Foal, 3&4 YO Auction

The past couple of months has seen Shane and the Breen Team go from strength to strength. August was jam-packed full of shows in the UK, Ireland and Europe, kicking off at Bolesworth where the young horses added miles onto their clock and Z7 Regal Don took 4th in the 2* GP Qualifier. 

Heading over to Ireland, it was the super mare Haya who never was out of the top 10 in the 5* classes at Dublin, taking 5th in the 5* Minvera Stakes, 4th in the 5* Speed Derby and 8th in the 5* Speed Championship. We have always believed this mare was going to be special and she's proven that every time she steps in the ring!

At LGCT, Valkenswaard - Vistogrand jumped phenomenal to help the Rome Gladiators come 3rd, but the highlight of the month was our first ever hybrid auction taking place which was a huge success. This has been an incredible addition to Breen Equestrian and we are excited to be hosting more in the future.

Rolling into September, where Ellen and Shane followed the LGCT around the world. In Rome, Italy, Z7 Ipswich proved to be quick and careful to win the opening 5* class, and fllowed up this perfomance in New York by jumping clear for the Rome Gladiators. In the big apple, it was Haya's time to take the victory - speeding to top spot in the 5* 1.45 Speed Class.  

Earlier this month, Shane took a team up to Birmingham for the Horse of the Year Show and they did not disappoint. Vistogrand jumped to 3rd in the 3* Accumulator as well as joint 2nd in the 6-bar to showcase his scope but it was Cuick Star Kervec who was star of the show, winning the iconic Leading Showjumper of the Year 3* Grand Prix - a fantastic way to start indoor season! 

A huge thanks to our whole team, owners & sponsors who make this all possible!

Summer Update

It’s been a jam-packed month for the Breen Team.  

After the back of his Derby win, Shane and Ellen hit the road for three weeks following the European circuit with a team of horses. They did not disappoint with multiple clear rounds and top placings being collected at LGCT Monaco and the 3* show in Ommen, Netherlands. The star of the show really was the Old Lodge’s Haya who stayed super consistent over the two weeks, picking up 4th and 4th in the 5* 1.45 classes in Monaco and taking runner-up position in the 3* 1.45-speed class in Ommen.  

The final week of July saw the team back at the Royal International Show at Hickstead where Haya kept up her phenomenal form. Entered in the Queen’s Cup, Haya took the crown by being quick and clear in the historic class. This has been the third time Shane has been able to put his name on the plaque and just adds to the very long tally of wins at Hickstead.  

It has been three years since the last Royal International Horse Show and we’ve missed the tremendous sport that we get to see in England with this 5* show. All our horses stepped up to the plate in the big classes, with Z7 Regal Don flying to 4th in the 5* Royal International Vase and taking 6th in the 5* Speed Classic. Cuick Star Kervec stunned the crowds with his incredible scope and talent to land on the podium with 3rd in the 5* 1.50 Royal International Salve. However, it was the return of the Nations Cup which had everyone’s attention with 8 star-studded teams entered to battle it out in the International Arena. Shane and the up-and-coming stallion Vistogrand were selected for Team Ireland and the beautiful black horse made his 5* Nations Cup debut in style. Making light work of the difficult course, ‘Visto’ and Shane jumped an incredible clear in the first round and a small green mistake in the second round led them to finish on a score of 4 faults. Although it wasn’t Ireland’s day, it was an incredible day of sport and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how Vistogrand performed. Congratulations to France for the win! 

We were also very excited to launch our first ever auction collection over the week of the Royal. We have offered 12 exceptional horses for sale, with a horse in the auction for everyone! These fantastic horses jumped multiple clear rounds at the Royal, but also picked up some top placings. Z7  Porshce jumped incredibly in the 7-year-old classes all week to come 4th in the Final, whilst BE Blue picked up her Championship qualification for the Foxhunter Final at the September show by flying to 2nd place. Cinderella Z also took 3rd in the 7-year-old National classes whilst Rivell PS repeated the result in the 5-year-old National. We couldn’t be prouder of how these horses performed, with these placings solidifying our knowledge that they would be welcome additions to any string.  

A huge thanks to all of our team, owners, and sponsors who make this possible!
