Lenamore The Horse (with Caroline Powell)

Geraldine Graham here owner of Lenamore Stables in Ireland I would like to impart a little about the famous horses start in life.

One day standing in the pocket bar at the Royal Dublin horse show I was introduced by my long time friends Leslie and Barbara Fitzpatrick to an equally famous celeb Ted Walsh father of Ruby Walsh, the conversation was about breeding and as the great Cruising was just starting his career. Ted said when Mary McCann persuaded me to cover two of my best mares with Sea Creast she didn't tell me what bullying brutes they would be around the feed trough, I intervened and said I'll buy the two foals from you and solve the problem.

He agreed, the transaction was made and the two weanlings later named as Ted and Mary were transported back to Donegal, where no less than five horses produced there have competed at World Cup level including Ted himself at the Olympic Games. He was a sharp little horse, I broke him my self and adored him, he started his show jumping career as Lenamore Laptop. I called him that because he was electric, all you had to do was press the right button and you could do anything.

I am a producer of horses and in those days I was starting out so alas everything was produced and sold on. I don't know where he lost the laptop it was a silly name anyhow. I asked after him a couple of times only to be disappointed and told he was difficult etc The moral of the story is Caroline is a Brilliant "thinking rider" to quote my old friend Molly Sievwright and I can only thank God the horse found his way to her.
