This week was the Breen Team’s fourth and final week out in Portugal, and the horses kept impressing us with their final rounds under the sun.  

The six-year-olds have really learnt their ring craft on this tour. It was both Keyton and Koh-I-Noor's first stay away show abroad and they have really come into their own as competitive horses. This final week highlighted their talent, with Keyton and Georgia picking up a podium finish with 2nd in the age class whilst Jack aboard the young stallion Koh-I-Noor cinched 7th.  

On Wednesday, the teams for the Nations Cup warmed up in their training session. With both Jack and Shane selected to represent Team Ireland. Not only was Jack making his senior Nations Cup debut this week, but it was also a debut for his homebred Irish 10-year-old BBS McGregor. Lady Star van Doperheide was stepping up to her first team event as well, under the expert riding of Shane. The rest of Michael Blake's team was made of Shane’s brother Trevor and Anthony Condon.  

However, there was still jumping to come before. On the Thursday, Jack expertly piloted Cuick Star Kervec around the 3* 1.45 Jump Off Class to slot into 9th place. Yet another fantastic result for this up-and-coming horse. Shane jumped Gait L for a lovely round in the 2* 1.40 to pick up 6th place, whilst Georgia schooled the Old Lodge Stud’s Haya around for a clear round. The highlight of the day was Georgia winning the 2* 1.40 on her own homebred Donavaya – well done Georgia! 

On Friday, Lady Star van Doperheide jumped clear in the 3* 1.40 and looked ready for Sunday. Georgia spun Donavaya around the 2* 1.40 again for another top result, taking home 5th place.  Saturday was a quieter day. Shane aboard the Kennedy brother’s KBS Major Player, jumped around the 3* 1.40 speed class for 3rd place. Georgia then piloted the wonderful Haya around the 2* Grand Prix for an exciting 5th place – what a mare! 

Sunday was the much-awaited Nations Cup. With 17 nations represented in Portugal, it was a nail biter from start to finish. The four strong Irish team stepped up to the plate and impressed the crowds. Anthony Condon was first in the ring, and jumped some solid rounds, aiding the Irish team with a clear in the second round. Jack and McGregor’s debut couldn’t have gone better with an unlucky fence in the first round and a clear in the second, this pairing keeps on showing us what they are made of. Lady Star and Shane made the third leg of the team, and the mare jumped her heart out to show what a horse she is for the future. Team anchor was Trevor Breen who jumped one of only five double clears in the class, to secure the win for team Ireland. What a day and what a result – a huge thanks and congratulations to all involved! 

With the horses headed back home, we couldn’t of wished for a better tour and ended on a high. Thank you Vilamoura – we can’t wait to be back next year!

Born in Limerick, Shane got his first pony at the age of five and hunted throughout his childhood. He represented Ireland at Pony International level becoming European Silver Medallist and winning the opportunity to spend some time in Nelson Pessoa’s yard in Europe, and then progressed through Junior and Young Riders teams to the Senior Irish National Team. He represent Ireland on many occasions up to European and World Championships. Over the years he won many Grand Prix including 2010 Lummen, 2018 Monaco and 2019 Dublin. 

Clear rounds from Shane have contributed to many Irish Nations Cup victories, including those at Dublin in 2006 & 2011 and Hickstead in 2012, and also to Ireland's Bronze medal at the Furisiyya Nations Cup final in Barcelona 2012.  Shane cites his double clear on World Cruise in the Aga Khan Trophy at Dublin in 2006 as one of his most memorable experiences.

Shane has over twenty years’ experience of buying and selling horses. He has a brilliant eye for the right horse – be it a show jumper with Olympic potential, an amateur show jumper or eventer, or a hunter.

 
With extensive contacts in many disciplines, and all over Europe and Ireland you can be sure that even if Shane doesn’t have the horse you need in his yard, he knows where it is. Shane’s rides for 2018 include Golden Hawk, Ipswich van de Wolfsakker, Laith, CFS Vendi Cruz and Can Ya Makan.


In 2007 Shane married Chloe, daughter of Hickstead founder Douglas Bunn, and they are based at Hickstead in Sussex with their four children, Lorna, Darcy, Douggie and Wolftone.

Lady Star van Dorperheide

Three Nations Cup debuts and a win for Team Ireland 

Onto week 3 out in Vilamoura for the Breen Team, with Shane joining Jack and Georgia. 

Again, international competition kicked off with the young horses in the 6YOs. Day 1 saw Georgia place 11th on Keyton and Jack 9th on Koh-I-Noor. Then things ramped up a level on Wednesday with Jack taking the win on Tracey Forrest and Julia Morris’s Koh-I-Noor – a great result for this up-and-coming young horse. 

Thursday saw Shane and Kbs Major Player finish 7th in the CSI4* two phase 1.40m. Georgia and her family-owned Donavaya kicked off their weekly campaign with 9th place in the same class. Jack also picked up a 9th place position in the 1.45/1.50 on Breen Equestrian and Michael Quirke’s co-owned Cuick Star Kervec with Shane just behind him in 11th on Lady Star Van Dorperheide.  

Saturday’s results came from Evita, owned by Old Lodge, who cruised to 4th place in the 1.35 with Georgia. 

Then onto the final days jumping of the week for the team and some top results came in. Georgia and Donavaya kept their clean sheet of jumping for the week, with an impressive 3rd place in the 1.40 jump of class. Jack and his mother’s Bbs McGregor put in a brilliant performance in the Grand Prix, only to heartbreakingly have the very last fence down in the jump off to keep them off top spot. However, they still finished 4th with their two strong rounds of jumping. 

Now onto the closing week of this year’s 2021 Vilamoura Champions Tour and the team are looking forward to a busy week making it count.
