& Meridian Sport Horses
2005 Bay Gelding
The absolute king of the yard! After sadly having to cut his successful eventing career short, due to an injury, Chippy then turned his attention to field mastering with the Berks & Bucks Draghounds, where he has bravely led the field for the last decade. Alongside this, he has also been brilliant out showjumping and team chasing, looking after several riders.
He is a one of a kind character and an absolute legend!
2023 Dark Bay Gelding
By Pretty Boy, a son of Balou du Rouet out of a Diarado/Diamant de Semilly mare.
Tin Tin is currently being very lightly broken and will then be turned away until the autumn.
2022 Bay Gelding
Sire: Moreno Grove iscby Herald 111. Dam side – Quidam de Revel and Corland lines
A very exciting prospect, but we will be taking our time to find the best way to get him confidently started under saddle.
2021 Bay Mare
Sire: Mr Casual Cool. Pedigree littered with top names: Cassini, Contendro, Accord, Jus de pomme and Indoctro lines. Zangersheide stud book.
Meg came to us as a 3-year-old, was backed and then went out to see the sights and sounds of the world as a four-year-old, showing that she has a lot of scope. We will continue working with her this season, and she could potentially be one for the showjumping ring.
2021 Bay Gelding
KWPN. By Opium van de Moerhoeve TN (Kannan/Nabab de Revel) out of a Cidane/Ahorn dam
Bruno arrived to us as a 3 year old and was successfully backed and lightly competed as a four year old.
So far in 2026, he has really impressed. He had a great outing at Badminton BYEH, he has also jumped round a couple of training events including Tweseldown 100 and won his first GO BE90 at Waverton. We are looking forward to the second half of the 2026 season with him and if all goes to plan, we may possibly aim for the 5 yr olds class at Cornbury in September. He’s definitely feeling like a future star!
2017 Bay Mare
Sire: Dignified Van’t Zorgvliet, Dam: Minstrels Lady
Ava is now in her third season eventing with us and is beginning to feel like a real professional. She is established at novice level and we will look to progress her in 2026.

Sire: Typhoon S, Dam: Violet G
Global Typhoon, known as Ricky, joined us in the autumn of 2023. We bought him from Hannah Bate where he had done a bit of eventing as a 5YO, then mainly show-jumped.
He successfully started his campaign with us winning a 100 class at Tweseldown. He easily progressed to novice/intermediate level in 2025 and had a top 15 placing in the CCI-S 2* at Cornbury.
2026 has seen another great start for him, establishing himself at Intermediate level, with 3 top 10 finishes and then wrapping up with a double clear in his first 3*S at Osberton at the end of May. He is definitely the rising star of the yard!
2018 bay gelding
By Tolan R out of Limerick Girl
We welcomed MBF Jackpot (Jack) to the yard at the beginning of July 2022, having been
produced by Millie Dumas. He is a really fantastic model and showed his class by qualifying for the NexGen Young Horse Finals as a four year old were he finished a very creditable 8th place.
His first season eventing has been equally impressive winning two events and stepping up to a meaty 5YO championships at Cornbury International, were he took all the atmosphere in his stride and finished on his dressage score.
He stepped up to 6yo Novice level in 2024, which was a great learning curve for him. He then made the move to be ridden by Jack Pickney for us, and has again gone from strength to strength. He has had a really positive start to 2026 – winning two events and then finishing 5th in his first 3* long and first foreign trip at ROYAL Jump in France. His aim is the 8/9 yr olds class at Blenheim.

About
Bought in May 2019 from the Stronge family. Delphi had some great eventing highlights with us. In her 2021 season as a 7YO, she took a top 10 finish in her first international 2*S at Bicton International. 2022 saw her move up to intermediate level, finishing off strongly with a 9th place at Oasby. 2023 saw her career highlight, competing in the 3*S at Aston with a storming clear XC. Â
We are now focusing more on showjumping with her, where she has been super consistent, with many BS wins along the way.Â

About
Harry joined us at the beginning of 2019. He had done very little but had incredible scope and moved beautifully. He has always shown the talent throughout his three seasons with us, but also has some Harry moments! Austin O’Connor competed him for us for the latter half of 2023 and got some great results. 2024 saw us compete in several 3*s classes, and I learned a lot with him at this level. 2025 saw more great results at both novice and intermediate level.
