THE good run of Britain’s Tom McEwen continued last weekend at the FEI WBFSH eventing world championships for young horses at Le Lion d’Angers where, improving from third after dressage, through second following cross-country, he won the gold medal in the CCI3*-L for seven-year-olds on the Irish Sport Horse gelding Brookfield Danny de Muze.

Bred in Co Meath by Donal Callery out of the Ashfield Bobby Sparrow mare Gortglass Sparrow (See Breeders’ 10, page 85), the son of I’m Special de Muze was purchased from Northern Ireland’s Brian Douglas as a three-year-old by Ciaran Moran and his wife Alyson Keane of MK Sport Horses in Co Wexford. The Bridgetown couple produced him the next year for the Young Eventhorse Series.
