Holmside Applejack is a Breed Quality Approved Cleveland Bay stallion standing 17.1hh with 10 inches of bone. He is by Oaten Tops'l out of Holmside April Rose, and he stands at Kenley in Derbyshire within a closed, naturally-managed herd. Applejack lives outside with his mares all year and covers naturally. Kenley is a closed environment: no outside mares visit the premises and no outside horses come in. That is a deliberate biosecurity decision, not a limitation of the horse. He was inspected for his Basic Licence as a four-year-old — already with two foals on the ground — and passed CBHS inspection for his Breed Quality Approved certificate immediately afterwards. There is no advertised stud fee. Each mare is assessed on the quality of her breeding and her standing on the CBHS SPARKS genetic-diversity sheets. Green matings only; occasionally yellow, depending on the breeding. Never red.

Sire: Oaten Tops'l. Dam: Holmside April Rose. Sired Kenley Tuvalu (2967) and Kenley Masai Mara, dam of the registered Crosswaysfarm Albion Bomber. In 2026 he sired the filly Kenley Wahiba Sands out of Afondale Taran.

Registered in year of birth. DNA-tested to prove breeding. Full vaccination record. Signed out of the human food chain. Passport available to view on a visit, or photographed on request.

Closed premises — no visiting mares. Frozen semen via AI is the route for outside mares. Semen is purchased directly from Dennis and Lesley Orange, with payment made to them; they release the straws from the Stallion AI centre once payment has been received. Shipping is arranged and paid for by the buyer directly with the Stallion AI centre, or straws can be collected in person.
