Legacy’s story began in Belgium, where she was bred by Romain Rotty.  Since her international debut, she became a flagship ambassador for Belgian breeding, proving that the foundation laid in Flanders could conquer the biggest arenas in the world.

Under the guidance of Daniel Coyle, Legacy progressed from international young horse classes to the pinnacle of the sport. The pair became a backbone for the Irish team, representing their country at: The 2021 & 2025 European Championships, The 2022 World Championships (Finishing 10th individually in Herning) and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris

Legacy’s consistency was unmatched, particularly in the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ circuit. Her career highlights include a string of high-profile victories, like the CSI5*- Worldcup victories in Toronto, Amsterdam, and Leipzig, alongside a CSI4*-W win in Fort Worth.

Also topping the podium at the CSI5-W London Grand Prix* and the CSI5* MLSJ Grand Prix at Thermal.

"She Changed Our Lives"

The decision to retire the mare was an emotional one for owner Ariel Grange and rider Daniel Coyle. Reflecting on their journey since 2018, Grange shared a heartfelt tribute "Little did we know back then, that when we most needed it, help would come. Legacy’s career and fame has spanned the world, but only two of us truly know the life-altering magic that is Legacy. For Daniel and I, she changed our lives in every way."

"We are so happy to give back a life that she laid on the line for us time and time again. Legacy will reign over Lothlorien with her head held high."

Future in the Breeding Shed

Grange hinted at a future in breeding, stating she looks forward to giving Legacy a retirement filled with "green grass, lazy days, and maybe a few foals."
