OWNER ZOE CLARKE
“IN 2019, I was on the hunt for a mountain and moorland [M&M] first ridden prospect for my nine-year-old daughter, Grace. I was keen on a Dartmoor as I love the breed, although many have tried to steer me away as they are notoriously quirky. Charley Baxter put me in touch with Dartmoor specialist and producer Julie Barton.
“When I saw ‘Harry’, who was then an entire, I just loved him. He had the most beautiful head as well as something special, which I can’t describe. I bought him from Elaine Arnold and he was gelded before heading to Charley’s yard.

Rider Denies Doping After Team Loses Olympic Placing - Tine Magnus and the Belgian team said they do not know the source of the drug that caused the positive test
Olympic eventer Tine Magnus has denied ever doping after her Paris ride Dia Van Het Lichterveld Z gave a positive test at the Games. This means the Belgian team, which came fourth, has been disqualified. On 4 September, the FEI said the 10-year-old mare, owned by Kris van Vaerenbergh, tested positive for trazodone, which is listed as an antidepressant on the FEI's prohibited substances list.
