Scott Smith has been busy building a strong team of horses to campaign internationally this season and his youngsters are showing their star potential.

Now supported by MPS Tower Cranes and Churchill Cranes and with great owners in Mike and Judy Studd, Scott’s team is going from strength to strength.

Scott’s two five-year olds jumped in eleven of the twelve five-year-old competitions on the Sunshine Tour and showed they are a force to be reckoned with.

Lapanus won six of his classes also coming second twice, and third in another. This was his first competition as Scott has spent a long time improving his confidence, but all the hard work was more than paid off with the great results.

Following the success Lapanus has now been sold to join Cian O'Connor’s team of young horses.

Cabrietta, Scott’s five-year-old bay mare which is homebred out of Cabri d' Elle and a Pik Bube mare came won three classes and was second in another in Spain. Then after a two week rest, on the Portugal tour she won two classes, came second place in another, and also notched up a third and a fifth place.

Scott produced both of these horses from scratch, and in fact competed on both Cabrietta's parents internationally.
