International
Grand Prix Thoroughbred Showjumping Stallion
"In
my opinion Last News is the best thoroughbred stallion for jumping
in the World today"
Michael Whitaker
"Being
a TB Last News has lots of quality and with his super jump and technique
he has to breed top eventers"
William Fox-Pitt
"If
I was able to compete on this horse he'd certainly be at the Olympics
with a chance to win. He is the best horse I've ever jumped"
Peter
Charles
"Last
News is the best thing to happen to Irish Breeding in the last 20
years"
Eddie Macken
"Last
News is the last of a long line of classic thoroughbreds. His bloodlines
are the best available and go right back to the 1960's. His temperament
and movement is fantastic and you can only describe his jump as
classic."
Frank
Chapot
"Irish
breeding badly needs jumping thoroughbreds to try and breed horses
like Rockbarton, Dundrum, Boomerang, Monsanta, Anglezarke, Ambassador,
The Rock, Rockette and Kilbaha. It is no coincidence that these
great horses were all by thoroughbred sires. From what I've seen
of Last News he is such a stallion"
