"Danny V"

A few words from Bruce

In January 2018 an approach was made  to Ulf G. Ryder on my behalf with an unusual request:  Will you let this guy Bruce Goodin (who you dont know) take Danny V to Abu Dhabi to compete in the 5 star nations cup? And after a brave and generous yes, that was how our relationship started. After riding Danny V four times at beutiful Ryder Estate in Halmstad, we put  him on the trailer and drove down to Liege airport in  -8  degrees conditions to fly out to Abu Dhabi. After competing in two 1.45m classes to get to know him, we contested the Nations Cup where we helped New Zeeland win its first ever Nations Cup. This was an incredible result considering Danny V had never competed anywhere this level before and showed me the fantastic  mentality he has. Because of this I was very keen to retain the ride on Danny V and after negotiating a part ownership with Ulf G. Ryder and Ryder Estate, Danny V moved to my stable in early May 2018.

Danny V has developed into my most successful horse ever and continues to improve. As previously mentioned he has a fantastic mentality for the sport. He can go into any arena in the world without being worried. Without being a ‘flashy jumper” he is incredibly clever and while being able to jump all the biggest 5 star classes, he is also very fast.

I am privileged to have this relationship to work with Danny V and my friends at Ryder Estate.

Ryder Estate och Bruce Goodin arbetar tillsammans långsiktigt med att utveckla och skapa förutsättningar för ett hållbart tävlande över tid. Danny V är en smart, snabb och sympatisk samt orädd häst.
