A FAMILY JOB

JAMES SHORE runs Shore Horses with his father, former British championship team rider Keith Shore, at home in Cheshire.

At Dean Valley Farm, Cheshire, James won with the eight-year-old Manzano De Rigo, a son of Inschallah De Muze who has just moved up to 1.40m level, while Keith and the 17-yearold Mystic Hurricane took the runner-up spot.

“I don’t often beat Dad, but luckily this didn’t upset his horse’s owner-breeder Betty Brandon,” said James. “She’s just bought a halfshare in Manzano, so instead of being sold, he’s one we can keep.”

The plan now is for

James and Keith to share the ride.

“I’m hoping to take Manzano to Bolesworth and then he’ll go abroad with Dad,” said James. “I’ll stay at home and work on the horses we have for sale and our youngsters.”
