Show Record

Imported to Canada by Nick Trensky and purchased January 2000 by Western Canadian Show Jumpers Limited Partnership, of which Tadpole Farm is the General Partner, for Amy Dundas.

When Amy died in 2003 he was just coming back from an injury, from which he made a full recovery.

In the year 2000 he placed 7th in the Equine Canada Talent Squad standings, and was the highest placed horse in western Canada. He was the highest placed Canadian ridden horse (9th – with a clear round) in the $70,000 Canada Post Express Open Speed Class at Spruce Meadows, and also placed 2nd to Jay Hayes in the $35,000 FEI Class (4’9”) RBC Capital Markets Cup on his first showing in the International Ring at that facility, also winning the Talent Squad Class in the All Canada Ring the next day. He has won both the Milner Downs and the PNE Grand Prix events. In 2001 he placed in the Brandon Royal Manitoba Winter Fair Royal Bank Grand Prix. Later that year he showed evidence of an injury which later showed itself as being the result of incorrect shoeing.

He was ridden in the Twin Oaks Derby Show in Richmond (BC) Aug 7-10 2003, by Carla Diewert, after Amy was killed in an accident. He gained three ribbons including a 1ST place. Carla also rode him at Wildwood Show Calgary Aug 20-24, where he placed in the Grand Prix. He showed at the Spruce Meadows Masters in September 2003. He did not place, but showed that he was fit and well and jumping with his previous form. The third day he was ridden by Kyle King in both the 4’3” and 4’6” classes, and in the latter he was able to show that he was still capable of a strong performance at this level.

In November 2003 he went into training with world ranked rider Richard Spooner, in Burbank, California. Richard rode him at the Indio Desert circuit I-III in January/February 2004. Here he won a Level 9 Open speed class, and place 3rd with a double clear round in the PCHA Classic, and had several other placings.

In March 2004, with a talented young German Universities rider, Sebastian Haag, he showed at the Spruce Meadows indoor winter series, winning an open 1.3m open class and placing at 1.35m.

In the summer of 2004 he was ridden and shown by Travis Root, now of Langley, BC, first in Oregon and then at Twin Oaks. In August 2004 17 year old Brian Morton, of Vancouver, BC began to ride him, Their first show together was the Summer Festival Show in Fort Langley, BC, August 25-29 2004.. They had just four faults in nine rounds in the 4’ and 4’3” divisions, winning four out of five classes, including the 4’3” Futures Class, and laying down a perfect performance to take the 4’ JA Championship. Since then, Brian Morton, now of Langley BC, has continued to show him successfully up to 4'6".
