THE reaction to Chilli Morning IV and Gemma Stevens (GBR) winning a gold medal at the FEI WBFSH World Breeding Championships for Young Horses at Le Lion d’Angers last weekend has been vast and varied.

The horse is one of three clones to William Fox-Pitt’s 2015 Badminton winner and 2016 Olympic mount Chilli Morning, who was hailed as the most successful eventing stallion of all time after his death in 2020.
