 PAINTED AFFAIR 16.2hh 16yrs coloured gelding also Dutch bred originally owned by the highly successful German event rider who is renowned for her excellent dressage Scottie as he is affectionately known did not compete much before he became a Para horse but he was trained to Prix St Georges with some Grand Prix movements. Like Brusco he has been with the Trust since 2003 and with Michelle Crunkhorn Grade IV won a bronze Medal at the World Championships in that year, he also has represented GBR at The Paralympic Games in Athens and the European Championships in Hungary As he is now getting older he is fulfilling an excellent role as a schoolmaster and has competed in Grade 1-IV so he is obviously very versatile if a little mischievous. Painted Affair is currently helping a Grade 1b rider to gain confidence and experience both at home and abroad.

NAIROBI 10 yr old dark bay gelding is the most recent addition to the PDTT bought from the breeder Sheepcote Stud. Trained to advanced medium currently with a Grade II rider and stabled at Aberystwyth University. He hopes to compete internationally in 2010.
