This very exciting young stallion has exceptional eventing bloodlines, being sired by Badminton winner Chilli Morning (ridden by William Fox-Pitt), out of the dam of double Badminton and double Burghley winner, team and individual European Champion and Olympic Team gold medallist Lordships Graffalo (ridden by Ros Canter).
His sire, Chilli Morning, was the first stallion to win Badminton, when ridden by William Fox-Pitt in 2015. This partnership also won individual Bronze medals at the European Championships in 2013 and the World Equestrian Games in 2014. Chilli Morning also won Bramham international Horse Trials on three occasions. His progeny are now also reaching top ten placings at 5 star elite level in the sport, with Chilli Knight winning Bicton International Horse Trials in 2021 and Jalapeno III finishing 6th at Badminton in 2023, both ridden by Gemma Stevens.
His dam Cornish Queen was bred by Olympic Gold Medallist Bridget Parker, by the proven top eventing sire Rock King, out of the 4 star (now 5 star) Elite broodmare Cornish Faer who was sired by the legendary Ben Faerie. Cornish Faer completed Badminton and Burghley with Bridget’s daughter Katie Burton and was long-listed for the Atlanta Olympics. Cornish Faer’s dam, Tregea, was a maternal half sister to Bridget Parker’s 1972 Olympic Gold medal ride Cornish Gold.
Cornish Queen has so far produced two 5 star event horses, Pencos Crown Jewel by Jumbo, and Lordships Graffalo by Grafenstolz, who both finished in the top ten at Badminton in 2023, ridden and produced by Ros Canter. Cornish Queen also produced the Parco daughter, Lordships Parc Royale, produced to 3 star level as a young horse by Ros Canter, before becoming a head stud book graded broodmare.
Apart from his exceptional pedigree for eventing, Pencos Arctic King has a lovely charismatic and trainable temperament, good conformation, movement and athleticism, with a high percentage of Thoroughbred blood (73.44%).
Pencos Arctic King covered his first mares in July 2023 with 100% fertility. He then stood for two full seasons at West Kington Stud in 2024 and 2025 and has now produced some stunning foals from a wide range of different types of mares.
Following the closure of West Kington Stud at the end of 2025, Pencos Arctic King will
be standing at Brackenspa Stud in Lincolnshire in 2026. He will be available 7 days a week for chilled semen and fresh semen for mares on site at Brackenspa Stud. There is also the option of frozen semen for breeders in the UK and the EU.
He will also be competing in 2026 when his stud duties allow.
