Competition Stallions

Britannia’s Mail, known as Marley, is a proven 4* eventing stallion bred and produced by Lucinda Fredericks. Now 17 years old he competed a full season every year for 12 years – since he was a 4 year old – but has now retired from top level competition with 169 BE points and is being used as a schoolmaster at home for Lucinda’s pupils in between his stud duties.

Both he and his sister, Little Britannia, reached Advanced level by the time they were 9 years old and were the only two foals ever born when both parents were competing successfully at the same Olympics in Beijing.

Marley’s mother, Headley Britannia, was the most successful eventing mare there has ever been, having won Badminton, Burghley & Kentucky 5 stars as well as a Silver medal at the Beijing Olympics.

His father, Jaguar Mail, has an outstanding record himself as a top show jumper and has been named sire of the year on many occasions. He has an incredible amount of successful progeny both show jumping and eventing.

Marley has been partnered with Lucinda’s daughter Ellie for the past five eventing seasons with great success - taking Ellie from Novice to Advanced within one year - and they enjoyed completing their debut 4* together at Bicton in 2023. The pair have produced fantastic results together, with top 12 results in all bar one of their events, including 6th at Cirencester Park Advanced, 10th at Rockingham International CCI-S3* and 8th at Thoresby Park International Advanced u25.

With over 50 clears with Lucinda and Ellie Fredericks he has an incredible professional record.

Britannia’s Mail has three super paces, exceptional jumping technique and is incredibly bold, careful, sure-footed and quick across country. He continues to prove himself to be an outstandingly tough, sound and confident stallion who consistently produces extraordinarily rideable offspring with kind and trainable temperaments.

Britannia’s Mail has excellent fertility rates and has produced over 150 offspring, with breeders choosing him not just on competition performance but also for his genteel manner and suitability for riders at all levels – both professional and amateur.

A number of Britannia’s Mail’s youngsters, including Britannia’s Dynamite, Born to Run and Britannia’s Star, are going up the levels with some top riders. Britannia’s Olive finished 6th in the CCI-L2* at Bicton International 2024 and Pure Britannia won the 2023 Pony Club Championships in both Eventing and Show Jumping.

Fresh / chilled semen will be available from Britannia’s Mail during the 2025 season. Frozen semen from Britannia’s Mail is also now available in the US and Australia.
