Capital Stud horses making their owners proud

Success In The Arena

Capital Stud has produced incredible performance-tested sport horses over the years, many of whom carry the same bloodlines as those who will be represented at the Capital Stud Auction on 17 and 18 November this year. There is no better test of credibility than to look in the competition arenas and see the Capital Stud horses succeeding for yourself.

Good blood

Capital Angelina and Capital Athena are both by Capital Armani, who is the same father to auction horse Capital Arizona. Capital Angelina’s biggest achievement was winning the 1.35m Championship class at The Nissan Easter Festival in 2015 with Leona van der Merwe. Capital Angelina is currently competing successfully with Marjolize Steyn. Capital Athena is out of a Rival D’or mare and is currently competing in the 1.35m classes with Katherine Gees. One of their greatest achievements is winning the 1.30m competition at Revil Stables in February. Capital Arizona is out of Unique (by Capital Ulior van Het Wuitenshof), the same mother as Kuda Insurance Don Costello (by Don Cumarco), who is currently competing successfully in the 1.50m classes with Ian van Schalkwyk.

Capital Unforgettable is by Capital Ulior van Het Wuitenshof and is successfully competing in the 1.30m junior classes with Kirsty Jade Topham, having just recently won the 1.30m Championship class at the Blouberg Cup. Capital Unforgettable’s mother (Rose Cottage) is a Rivale D’or mare. Rose Cottage is also mother to auction horse Capital Domino. Capital Domino is doing extremely well in the 1.10m classes with Kim Hathaway, having won many classes, including the 1.10m Championship class at the Nissan Winter Classic in Shongweni.
