Eddie Macken and the one and only Boomerang

Eddie Macken and the one and only - Boomerang

Once in a lifetime a horse like Boomerang comes along. Something so special that they go way beyond the normal and Boomerang certainly did that. Listen as Eddie tells the story perfectly in this video. An incredible partnership that happens to a rider once in a life time.

Boomerang, later Carroll's Boomerang, was an Irish Sport Horse who stood 16.2 hh (168 cm), ridden in show jumping competitions, most successfully by Eddie Macken. Boomerang was also ridden by Liz Edgar (Broome), Johan Heins and Paul Schockemöhle.

Boomerang was bred by Jimmy Murphy of Maifield, Grangemockler, County Tipperary, a well-known sportsman and local politician from Grangemockler, Co Tipperary. Jimmy and his wife Mai, a successful racehorse owner, sent their Irish Draught mare, Girl From The Brown Mountain , who was by the... More

New findings challenge the Arabian as a founder of the Thoroughbred breed

Findings challenge long-held assumptions about the Arabian horse

The majestic Arabian horse has swept the globe, but their desert cousins still harbor a genetic diversity not seen elsewhere in the world, according to researchers.

Arabian horses are renowned for their athleticism, endurance and natural beauty — qualities which resulted in breeding stock being exported over the centuries to virtually every corner of the equestrian globe.

Now, a major new study has delved into the genetic diversity of the historic breed, shedding new light on its origins.

The findings include surprising revelations, including the likelihood that the founding “Arabians” that gave rise to the Thoroughbred were Oriental breeds, but probably not Arabians.

They also found that while the global genetic diversity of the breed was good, that was not necessarily the case within important subgroups, in which breeding for certain traits has likely taken a genetic toll.

They also found evidence suggesting some... More

Democrat another Showjumping Star from the 1948 Olympics

Colonel Frank Wing and Democrat

Democrat showjumped for the United States pre and post World War II in the Olympics and Nations Cups with Colonel Franklin Wing, John Russell and William Steinkraus. Democrat was also on the three-day event team in 1940.

The U.S. show jumping team for the 1948 Olympic Games was the last military Olympic team fielded. Col. Frank Wing rode the famous U.S. team mount Democrat, Capt. John Russell rode Air Mail, and Col. Andrew Frierson rode Rascal.

Democrat was foaled at Ft. Robinson, Neb., in 1933 and shipped as a 4-year old to the U.S. Cavalry School at Ft. Riley, Kan., where early on he showed his jumping prowess. Democrat had early success with Wing before World War II, notably in 1940 when the pair accounted for the individual championship at New York, but at age eight his career was put on hold and he remained at Ft. Riley until the war concluded.

One of the most experienced horses on the team was the... More

Gribaldi International Dressage Stallion

Gribaldi International Dressage Stallion

The archetypal and classic black stallion, Gribaldi , was foaled in 1993. Gribaldi has been one of the huge influencers in warmblood breeding during the latter years of the last century and the early years of the 21st century before his rather untimely demise in 2010.

The breeders who created Gribaldi
The owners of the Gribaldi’s dam, Gondola II , were Marika and Reiner Werner. They had bought the mare as a schoolmistress and decided to keep her for breeding when their son outgrew her.

Gondola was small because she was one of twins at birth so the Werners decided to choose Kostolany to put her to, not just because he was big and should produce decent-sized offspring but also because of his temperament. The other consideration was that Kostolany, like Gondola, had ... More
