Ringwood Cockatoo (ISH) – 1991 grey gelding by Peacock (TB) out of Bailey’s Folly (ISH). Bred by Hilary Greer, Castleblayney Road, Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan. Rider: Bettina Hoy (Ger)
Ringwood Cockatoo and Bettina Hoy have been a very successful partnership over the years. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, they finished in 9th place. At this year’s World Equestrian Games in Aachen, the duo were true to form, finishing 6th in the individual results thereby helping Germany clinch the gold medal.
In recognition of her contribution to the sport of eventing, the breeder of Ringwood Cockatoo is being honoured by the WBFSH at the Geneva CSI W Show this December.
