Finlay
Finlay CMF | Irish Sport Horse
Bay, 17hh, born 2012
A substantial Irish Sport Horse with a sensitive nature, Finlay enjoys gentle attention and rewards a patient approach.
VERIFIED: Finlay is by Cruisings Micky Finn, a son of Cruising, out of Clonfad Highland Lady. Her pedigree combines Irish jumping lines with Thoroughbred ancestry through her dam’s sire, Choice Limited.
OBSERVED: Finlay is powerful and athletic, with a curious, affectionate character. She responds best to quiet, consistent handling and enjoys playing with the younger horses.
INTERPRETATION: Her pedigree provides a strong jumping background, while her everyday behaviour reminds us how much confidence can depend on thoughtful handling.

Lottie
Flairginia PF | KWPN
Dark bay, 16.2hh, born 2010
The matriarch of the Scientia herd, Lottie combines a commanding presence with a softer side, particularly when a head massage is on offer.
VERIFIED: Lottie is by Oscar out of Liginia, by Goodwill, and belongs to the Ginia maternal family. Her close maternal relatives include recorded dressage and showjumping performers; the wider family includes Grand Prix dressage horse Inspiration PF.
OBSERVED: Lottie is stoic, confident and the dominant mare in the herd. She can be reserved with unfamiliar people, but shows a softer, affectionate side once she knows you.
INTERPRETATION: Her maternal family is a significant part of her sporting background. At Scientia, her steady presence and natural authority are equally important to understanding her as an individual.
Frankie
Future Diamond Cruise | Irish Sport Horse
Bay, 16.3hh, born 2015
Frankie joined Scientia in early 2026 and joined the herd in September, bringing a notable sporting pedigree and a personality we are just beginning to discover.
VERIFIED: Frankie is by Diamond Roller out of Cruising Galway Girl, by Cruising. Her dam is a full sister to CCI5* winner Mr Cruise Control, and the close family includes eventing and showjumping performers.
OBSERVED: Our first impressions are of a sweet-natured mare with a strong personality. As she settles in, we are getting to know her preferences and watching how she finds her place.
INTERPRETATION: Frankie’s close family provides a strong sporting context. Her own character and relationships at Scientia are still emerging, and our understanding will develop through time spent with her.
