British gold medal-winning horse sold abroad: ‘He’s been an absolute superstar’

Quarrycrest Echo, with whom Piggy French was part of Britain’s gold medal-winning team at the World Equestrian Games (WEG) in 2018, has been sold to Japan.

The 12-year-old has been bought from owner Jayne McGivern by Riding Club Crane for Toshiyuki Tanaka to ride.

“Red”, as he is known at home, has been one of Britain’s most successful event horses in the past few years. He and Piggy were individuals at the 2017 European Championships at Strzegom before taking team gold – and 10th place individually – at WEG the following year. They were also members of the British team which won the silver medal at the European Championships in Luhmühlen in 2019.
