Meet The Team!
Galwaybay “Smokie”
Smokie seems to have a rare ability to put and keep a smile on my face every time I sit on him! I spotted him on the same journey to Ireland that I found his ‘brother’ Pete; both were 4 year-olds. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength. He was invited to join the World Class Pathway following very consistent runs at Intermediate and 1* as a 6 year old, and is now proving that they spotted him well!! In the 11 years Smokie has been my mainstay, he has competed in seven FEI 4* events, clear in all but 2 where we didn’t finish, just fell foul of the old camera/ flag rules! He’s competing double clears at 1.40m BS, and Fieldmastering for the Quorn. Who could even DREAM of having such a wonderful partner!?!
Annestown Capitalism “Cappie”
Cappie is the next longest standing FDE superstar, who she found in Ireland yard an unbacked 4 year old. He is another BFG, so has been on a slow burner taking every step as he’s ready for it. He’s a horse with massive movement, unreal power and scope, but the most delicate brain! He’s destined for 5* if his body and his brain can get there at the same time!!!
Karavola aka “Hendricks”
Hendricks was Fionas Christmas present to herself… and what arrived as a super raw 4 year old has proven he’s talented enough to burn himself a place in his FDE future! As a 7 year old he completed a couple of 3*’s competitively, but since Osberton, he’s had a few jiggly management issues the team are trying to get their heads around to prepare for his next press towards 4*s and beyond!!
Because Hendricks is such a classy talented lad, Fiona has got a small group of owners that are involved with his journey! He really is going to be one to watch- having jumped Fox and 1.30 tracks as a 6 / 7 year old- he has all the ability for the big B’s!!
Chevalian Fifa “Mowgli”
Fiona bought Mowgli from a photograph as a feral 4 year old off a hillside near Wales! She fell in love with the model of him and the breeding… and has since fallen in love with everything else about him!
Last season Mowgli completed double clear at 3*, and has stepped up to jump double clears at 1.30s BS. Time will tell whether he will be a 5* horse, but certainly has 4* in his eyesight, and is just THE most beautiful gentleman to ride in every sphere.
Summertime Rhapsody “Khan”
Who does this remind you of?!!!
You got it, isn’t he the Book-End copy of his big brother Mowgli?!! Even down to their feel and the progression of training!!
I bought Khan as a rising 4 year old, by the lovely Royaldik, he is following exactly the same pathway his big brother did!! They are the same gorgeously rideable gentleman, and their technique has followed the same pathways as they become more strong and educated.
As a 5 year old Khan won and was well placed in U/a 100s, and he is already entered up Novice!!
Carrigfoyle Clovers Rest “London”
London has been so much fun to produce to this stage! She’s jumping round Foxhunters tracks BS, and has started 2023 by cruising round an Intermediate training event… I’m sitting on the fence about producing her on for another season before selling… but she is SUCH a genius to a fence, she’d do all of this with a Jr/ YR…
