Greg Broderick foal to be auctioned for charity

People will have an opportunity to own a potential Olympic show jumping horse, while also helping two charities, when a foal goes to auction on Friday.

The foal is a three-parts brother to MHS Going Global, the horse to be ridden by Tipperary show jumper Greg Broderick in Rio de Janeiro, following his nomination last week.

The bay colt is by Quidam Junior (the sire of MHS Going Global) and out of Ballypatrick Flight (a half sister to Going Global). It will feature in an auction of 15 elite youngsters “sourced from some of the best breeders and producers of show jumpers in Europe” at Bolesworth Castle, near Chester, in England.
