Highcliffe Apollo

Apollo is now retired.

A successful Grand Prix horse, predominantly ridden and competed by Diane’s youngest daughter Joanna. The 16.1hh bay Hannoverian gelding came to us from his breeders in 2008. We started off with a lovely but rather nervous novice who blossomed under Diane’s calm approach, patience, hours of training and in hand work. To this end we have now a very successful competition horse. He has competed at Junior and Young Rider Internationals here and abroad, as well as taking Diane, Samantha and Joanna to the National Championships. He has been a permanent fixture in top placings at Junior, Young Rider, Small Tour and now Big Tour classes at Premier Leagues as well as U25’s Championships. In 2015, he qualified for the Nationals after 3 outings with Diane, who hadn’t competed in 14 years, where they finished second at Advanced Medium level.
