SIZING John, Sizing Europe, Synchronised and Asian Maze are names that will be very familiar to National Hunt followers in this country. All these horses have graduated from the Busteed academy, along with many more top-flight winners.

As a child, I did all the usual hunting and pony clubs but it was not until I went to boarding school in Dublin, that I really became passionate about horses. By fourth year, my love for horses became more apparent than my love for study, so I left and went to work in England.
