Ecklands Willow: Ireland UK Ireland A super little mare that came to us by chance in 2006, Willow barely made up into a horse but had heart to burn and huge scope for a little horse.

Grand Illusion Does the Business in Dublin in 2010 PJ was purchased as a two year old directly from the field, we liked him from word go, he was elastic and athletic and showed tremendous scope. He was reserve champion with us in Cavan as a three year old and narrowly missed qualification for Dublin as a four year old. Sold in late 2009 and ridden by David Blake PJ qualified easily for the Five Year Old finals in Dublin and jumped to victory under David to the delight of current owner Martina OKeefe. |

Ecklands Drummer flys out to Algeria. Stunning horse by Glen Leddy's Sekio, Drummer was another lucky purchase. When he was offered to us and I heard who his dam was I bought him without hesitation. Drummer was without doubt one of the best young horse to come through our yard. Broken in 2009 Drummer was being prepared for competition but was purchased by the Algerian Minister of Defence prior to competing with us. Drummer is now jumping in young horse classes and will go on to international success in his new home. |
