---

An absolute superstar who took me round my first 3* and was my Young Rider European ride at the 2010 European Championships where we finished 15th individually. He is the most phenomenal XC horse and has given me so much experience. He was 6th in the CCI3* at Blair Castle in 2012 and qualified for Badminton in 2013. Sadly we didn't get in off the waitlist and then we decided to retire him after a few niggly problems. 

He is spent his retirement on the hunting field and hunted at least once a week with the Cattistock or Blackmore and Sparkford Vale. Heart breakingly we lost him in the summer (2015) due to an accident in the field. He has left a huge hole on the yard.
