“Luxy” was born in Ireland in 2005 and had a successful international career in Showjumping up to 1m50, with wins and numerous top 5 placings. He represented the Irish Studbook at the World Breeders Federation for Sport Horses as a 6-year-old and placed 9th. His most recent win was under Edward Doyle in 2017 at Balmoral. His career included over 60 competitions in Europe.

Luxy was imported to Canada in 2020 and is owned and ridden by Emma Elley and her 15-year-old son Ryan and stands at her Bayview Stud and Sport Horses in Ontario. Today he is an exceptionally attractive light grey stallion with dapples, a beautiful Irish face, and a snow-white mane and tail.

His sire, Lux Z, is one of the most successful stallions in international showjumping, with winnings of over a million euro. Lux Z’s progeny are competing in international showjumping, dressage, and eventing; he has 5 licensed sons.

His dam, Icing, is a consistent producer of high-quality offspring. She is by the celebrated Cruising, a traditional Irish Sport Horse at the top level of international showjumping.

Luxy is a strong jumper, with a heritage that has been proven in competition. He has dressage potential as well, as he is a lovely mover with an impressive uphill build and self-carriage.

Luxy's first foals are in Ireland and are just 5. Cornascriebe Derryinver competed as a 4-year-old at 80cm and at home is jumping 1m; he and his new owner, a young eventer, have a bright future. The 5-year-old mare Cruising Over The River has also started her early show jumping career and is showing great talent and scope.

Derryinver Luxury Cruise is available fresh in the United States and Canada in 2021. His semen quality is excellent, with over 80% motility. Shipping in Canada or to the US is easy with FedEx Next-Day.

Says owner Emma Elley, "Luxy is an absolute sweetheart to be around and ride. He lives in a mixed barn with other horses and is always a gentleman."
