THE SELECTION PROCESS

Nov 17, 2025 · Chris McCrea · The Brilliance London Collection

We started looking for this collection even before we had the auction at the Agria Royal International Show at Hickstead. We went to Addington, Arena UK, and the Hickstead Young Horse Championship, to name a few venues, to try to spot the next Brilliance star, finding horses we believe have shown the talent and potential to rise to the top of the sport. We have followed these horses as they have developed and matured throughout the year. Every horse has been produced with the knowledge and expertise of world-class riders, ready for top-level competition. Every horse has their own qualities and characteristics, but ones we truly believe are ready to make an impression in the sport.

We have a horse for everybody, from Junior to your 5* Grand Prix Championship rider. The list of horses & producers has tripled since we started in 2022, as we not only draw on the Breen Equestrian and Billy Stud stables, but from producers and breeders across England & Ireland.
