He competed in eventing with Andrew Nicholson and as a seven-year-old won the young horse trophy at Le Lions D’Angers. The following year the pair completed Boekelo CCI3* in 15th place. Jumbo went on to compete in showjumping with William Funnell and in affiliated dressage with Lizzie Murray — in 1997 the pair won the combined training championship at Blenheim – before retiring to concentrate on stud duties.
He has since sired many leading event horses including four-star winners and record breakers Headley Britannia (Lucinda Fredericks) — the only mare to win Badminton, Burghley and Kentucky — and Avebury winner of Burghley a record three times with Andrew Nicholson.

The success of his offspring means that Jumbo is the leading ‘all time sire’ with British Eventing (BE) as well as the BE leading ‘all time sire’ of competition mares. During his life he sired 45 advanced horses and currently has around 50 offspring affiliated with BE. These include Avebury, Allercombe Ellie (winner of the CCI3* at Tattersalls with Izzy Taylor last year, and Mr Chunky, a member of last year’s British Nations Cup team with Lucy Wiegersma.
Jumbo is also the top British-bred stallion in the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horse eventing sire rankings in sixth place. He has nine graded sons standing in the UK including Philanderer II, bred and owned by Carolyn, who is currently competing with Tim Cheffiings.
