Share Option

Share Option, or ‘Whitey’ as all his friends call him, is a 2003 Irish Sport Horse Lillian bought when he was five. He had been under saddle for three months but has proved to be uncomplicated to train, always willing and eager to jump and run. Lillian never asked him a question he did not try and answer.

Whitey’s career has been one of steady success as Lillian took him from Beginner Novice through Advanced, culminating with a 6th place finish at the Jersey Fresh CCI 3*, spring 2010. In 2013 he completed the Jersey Fresh CCI*** in 4th place and the Fair Hill International CCI*** in 10th place. He went to Kentucky in 2015 and completed the Rolex CCI****. He had a great go at Rolex CCI**** in 2016, delivering one of the 6 double clear showjump rounds, and finished in 15th place at the 2017 Rolex. He is a real winner!

LCC Barnaby

Barnaby came to Lillian as a 6-year-old Irish horse by Guy Cavalier out of Lady Tanjour. When Lillian bought him in Ireland, he had not done any eventing, but she competed him in both Ireland and England at the training level. She also did a significant amount of show-jumping with him, competing successfully in 1.15m classes. Lillian brought him back to the US and trained him through the levels, and in 2016 Barnaby completed the Rolex CCI****. In 2017 Barnaby not only completed the Rolex 4* but he also finished in 13th place! In 2018 and 2019 Barnaby completed The Kentucky Three Day, and he has traveled to England three years in a row to compete at Burghley Castle 5*. At the 2019 Burghley competition he was 18th out of over 70 starters. Then in 2022 he finished 11th at the Fair Hill 5*! What a complete Rock Star!
