Poden Farm’s world number one horse Explosion W (Chacco Blue x Baloubet du Rouet) has been sold to Pamela Wright and Charlotte Rossetter. Owner Neil Moffitt’s priority was to keep the 10-year-old KWPN gelding with rider Ben Maher and under British ownership. The pair, who have formed an extremeley effective partnership, most recently won the Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix in Prague this weekend.
Moffitt remarked, “Explosion W has been with Poden Farms for nearly four years and we have been on an incredible journey together. Ben and Explosion have been an integral part of our London Knights team success and, with this sale, that partnership will remain intact. It was imperative to us that Explosion also continue to compete for Great Britain and so we are delighted that this agreement has been reached. We wish Ms. Wright and Mrs. Rossetter the best in their new endeavour and look forward to watching the rest of this remarkable story unfold.”
The new owners commented, “We are thrilled by the opportunity to be a part of Explosion’s story. He is a magnificent horse that has already made a mark on the world and we look forward to seeing what new heights he will achieve in the future. We are excited to embark on this journey with rider, Ben Maher, with whom we’ve already established a fantastic partnership.”
Ben Maher said, “My relationship with Poden Farms has been hugely successful over the past few years. I have been very fortunate to have ridden and developed some incredibly talented horses with them and I look forward to many more successful years together.
“Explosion has been a huge part of my life and success these past few years. He is a true character and we have a very special bond. I am overwhelmingly humbled to Pamela Wright and Charlotte Rossetter for entrusting me with this special horse. I am thrilled with the partnership and look forward to seeing what the future brings.”
