Astek Eventers is based in Taupo, New Zealand where event rider Sophie Wilkinson will be producing horses bred by any Astek stallion and giving them the tools to become a top class athlete.
We are so pleased Sophie Wilkinson joined our Astek family. She parts owns our SUPER SIRE Kinnordy Gym Bello. Sophie is also the proud owner of 8 “Gymy” progeny of which 4 will be out eventing with her this coming spring season!!! Astek Gravitate CNC105, Astek Varius CNC105 (for sale), Marco 5yo yet to be named and Astek Gettysburg 4yo (full brother to Gadzuks).
Gym Bello is a great choice for riders wanting versatile & trainable horses. He is described as an extraordinary sire. Gym Bello's progeny can be recognised for their lovely heads, short coupled athletic bodies and exceptional trainability, all of which combine to make for a superstar. With the passing of Gym Bello’s sire Gymnastik Star recently and his dam line of Graf landau becoming more scarce, the powerful combination of these pedigree’s lives on in Gym Bello and now so obviously proven in all fields.
"A few years ago I decided I wanted to bred some quality into my successful TB Eventers that I already had, my decision came easily of who I wanted to use over my mares after seeing the lovely Astek Guardsman and now also Astek Gadzuks, so I placed both my mares, Little Miss Pete (2* eventer) and Santana (Bob’s Dreams full sister 3* eventer) in foal to Kinnordy Gym Bello and have ended up with two exceptional types joining my team. He is a perfect sire to cross over our NZ thoroughbreds for an exceptional eventing type.
So when the opportunity came to have shares in this stallion, it wasn’t a decision hard to make. I now proudly join Sue Fowler and Astek Stud in which I believe to be a exciting journey ahead, I have no doubts that in the the not too distant future Kinnordy Gym Bello will be one sire whose name will keep coming up in the top event horses here in NZ and internationally, so come and join us in this adventure and you too can own and ride one of these too."
