HAT TRICK GLORY
Nicola Mahoney & Game On II Crowned KBIS 6YO National Champion
Burford Equine are proud to support Nicola Mahoney and her superstar Game On II, who have been crowned KBIS 6-Year-Old National Champions at the 2025 LeMieux National Dressage Championships — with this remarkable young horse completing the rare 4/5/6YO sweep of consecutive national titles.
Nicola summed up the emotion of the day:
“A day I’ll never forget, what a horse - I’m just beyond proud. To own this horse is such a huge privilege made even more special as he’s a homebred. I felt so much pressure… I wanted to do him justice.”
Game On II, aka 'G' first captured the spotlight with national titles as a four- and five-year-old with Ashley Jenkins in the saddle. This year, Nicola as breeder, owner, and rider guided him to the decisive third crown, making him only the second horse ever to achieve this unique treble. Judges described Game On II as “the most complete package,” with outstanding balance, elasticity, and a walk that set him apart. Nicola highlighted his suppleness, trainable temperament, and the careful, measured approach that has let him mature into a three-time champion.
Nicola credited her close-knit team for their role in this journey and, in her words, Burford Equine for “tolerating my calls and questions every time G sneezes or stumbles! 🤪”
The team here are happy to be on hand to advise and support wherever possible, and wholly agree with Nicola's proactive approach including regular Chiropractic and Hofmag sessions, alongside routine veterinary care.
This win underlines what we stand for: enjoying backing talented combinations, providing the right support and fostering sustainable, long-term success.
