BOUGHT as a hunter, Supreme Rock was the horse that surprised some who thought that the hunting field, not eventing, was the young horse’s place. Lindy Nixon-Good, the horse’s breeder, always had a feeling though that there was something unique about the horse.

And she was right, as the horse went on to become a dual European individual champion (1999, 2001), won Badminton not once but twice (2002, 2003), and was selected for the British teams at the 2000 Olympics and 2002 World Equestrian Games.
