Sponsors

We have been involved with Gordon and the team at Cullentra for the last 6 years. It has been a magnificent experience. We started off with one horse called Moonman which didn’t work out two well, as he suffered a fatal injury in just his second race and had to be put down. Gordon then offered us the opportunity of going 50/50 on one or two horses with himself and both of those horses that Gordon bought won races, with Swingbridge going on to win 6 races in total. We were then hooked on the sport and the place itself. It is wonderful to go over to Cullentra on a cold frosty morning and see the horses working out on the gallop at Cullentra. The care and attention that the whole team gives to the horses is second to none. We are lucky we have such a professional set up so close to our home as it allows us visit more often and we are always welcomed with open arms.
