This horse used to be owned by Darley Stable and is now owned by Sharon Sheppard (unable to determine if there is a connection to champion trainer, Jonathan Sheppard), but if so, it would not surprise me if this horse was given to Danielle in an effort to get her training career off to a start. Danielle is a top jumps rider and usually rides first call for Jonathan, as well as serving as his assistant trainer.
