I thought he was. He's definately an Irish bred horse, he's owned by Sue Magnier, and was sold down the road from me in Tattersalls, but I'm finding it hard to check his breeding. Definately moslty TB but on i've seen ISH after his name on a few sites which would suggest he is Irish Sport Horse! But I'm open for correction as its not clear.
Lol he's been riding forever! 3 gold medals for 3 day eventing in a row! Lol even in the 2000 3 day photo he looks kinda old i'm surprised he's still into it in 2006.
He actually didn't win...I went there to watch in 2006. He won Rolex and Badminton, but not Burghley...it was insane to watch. He was in first going into stadium...the crowd was absolutely silent. But he had 2 rails and ended up 3rd.

I wonder y he rode this course in a snaffle. At the rolex that they won, he rode XC in a double bridle!
Yeah I know he won Rolex (I was there. lol). I always get confused w/ Badmiton and Burghley..... Sorry to the person I answered!!
