Just seen the squad list that has been posted and I am soo excited to see that Mark Kyle has been listed with Step In Time. So strange to see a horse that you have helped break in and start off in his first couple of years now listed for a big team squad.

The whole squad is as follows:

Geoff Curran (Balladeer Alfred, Kilkishen, The Jump Jet)

Brian Curran Cournane (The Sally Rod)

Sally Corscadden (Millridge Kalmar)

Ciaran Glynn (GFG Killossery Kruisita)

Niall Griffin (Lorgaine)

Mark Kyle (Step In Time)

Louise Lyons (Watership Down, Murphy's Miracle)

Joseph Murphy (Master Boy)

Jim Newsam (Lara's Song)

Austin O'Connor (Hobby Du Mee, Pocket Rocket, Lily Of The West)

Michael Owen (King Bob)

Sasha Pemble (I've Been Dun, Hyanie D'Aubrie)

Elizabeth Power (Kilpatrick River)

Patricia Ryan (Fernhill Clover Mist)

Michael Ryan (Master Mexico)

George Russell (Young Man, Super Seal)

Steven Smith (Castlehill, Fernando)

Sam Watson (Ballybolger Bushman)
 
Step in Time (aka Johnny) was bred by Mark's parents in Ireland. I was Head Girl for the Kyle's when he was sent over as a very wild youngster who was proving next to impossible to handle farless break in. It was a VERY VERY tought few month's getting him going, however he quickly became very dear to everyone's hearts as he wasn't malicious in any way, just incredibly nervous. Everyone who has had anything to do with him is just jumping for joy at his listing as he is a very darling boy!

He had an easy couple of first seasons and in the past few year's has started coming into his own, moving up to Advanced and 3star last season. He is a SUPER talented jumper and has the movement for dressage (his maternal 1/2 bro is tha stallion Sailor Man, who does pure dressage)...he just needs to develop a bit more muscle wise befroe he will truly put out the top dressage marks.
 
Anybody know why Steven Smith's Quality VH isn't listed? Looks like an exciting squad
