Those of you that read the thread I wrote when I lost my lovely mare will know she had a beautiful big strong foal called Innisfree.

He grew up to be a Champion just like his mum.
He was owned by my friend Carolyn, and campaigned by International rider Peter Gillis, Innis lived with him. Peter rugged him up for the night, fed him in his yard then they went inside for their own dinner.
They had just sat down at the table when they heard a very loud crack, they all jumped up and ran outside. Lightning had struck Innis, and he was gone by the time they ran to him.
The shock was unbelievable that this could happen to such a very talented 6 year old youngster. He had an enormous future ahead of him, and was just about to upgrade to 1 Star, or Novice as it was called before. 3 Star is the top of the ladder. He had an enormous personality and was very cheeky at times too. But he was very much loved and will leave a big hole in my heart.
Now he is free to gallop the fields with his mum.
Goodbye my young friend, you will be very missed by everyone who knew you.
I can't see through my tears now to write anymore. We love you Innis xxx
