New ride for Bertram Allen

Bertram Allen can count on a new horse. Quainton Stud’s 11-year-old chestnut gelding Quiet Easy 4 moves to the Irish Showjumper's stable. Owner Emma Phillips of the Quainton Stud in Buckinghamshire had jumped at the chance to have the teenage Irish sensation in the saddle.

The new partnership was already set at the end of last year. However then the horse had a severe colic attack. Now the pair finally made their debut at the CSI5* at ’s-Hertogenbosch earlier this month (13-15 March), finishing third in a speed class. This was Quiet Easy’s first time in the ring since surgery.

The gelding, by Quidams Rubin, has previously been competed by British riders Ben Maher and Chloe Aston, and was campaigned for much of last year by Sweden’s Angelica Augustsson.
