On his Facebook profile, Ireland's Olympic show jumping rider, Greg Broderick has confirmed the sale of his Olympic horse, MHS Going Global (Quidam Junior I x Cavalier Royale). Broderick and the 10-year-old Irish sporthorse just had an almost perfect 2016 season behind them. The combination represented Ireland at the 2016 Rio de Janeir Olympic Games. Further they were a part of the winning Nations Cup team at the CSIO5* Sankt Gallen. Broderick and MHS Going Global also placed fourth in that same Longines Grand Prix. In August the pair made it a double clear finish in the Dublin CSIO Nations Cup, giving Ireland a second place. After the Games Greg and Going Global jumped to a sixth place at the prestigous CN International Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows. On his Facebook profile Broderick thanks his horse and team: "Today is Juniors final day at Ballypatrick, it's been an unbelievable journey for us right from novice classes in Ireland to making Dreams come through with Olympic Games and Nations cup wins most memorably our double clear in 2015 to help Ireland win the Aga Khan in front of our home crowd. He has given my family, friends, owners and the Irish horse world something to be very proud of and thank you to everyone who has been supportive of us along the way. He was part of the family here at Ballypatrick and like a best friend to me. He will be hugely missed but it was a logical decision to sell him in the height of his career. I'd like to wish his new owner Athena Onasis all the luck with him and a big thank you to Lee Kruger for the opportunity to ride this great horse." MHS Going Global Moves to Athina Onassis' stables.
