Four-star Winner Ballincoola Suffers Heart Attack
It is with great regret that Judy Skinner and Michael Payne announce the death of Ballincoola. He suffered a heart attack while warming up to show jump at a BSJA competition near Bury St Edmunds yesterday (22nd September).
During his career the 16-year-old gelding had amassed 1637 British Eventing points, completed 15 three day events, five of which were long format and nine of which were at four star level.
Known at home as Max, his best result on paper was winning the Land Rover Burghley title in 2005 but he was Mr Consistency, finishing 11th in 2004, sixth in 2006, fifth in 2007 and second in 2008, his final run with William Fox-Pitt. As planned months before, Max then returned to the Payne family for Michael’s sons to gain experience on. William said at the time, “It was partly my idea for Fergus to take the ride, although a part of me thinks I might regret it now – but if Fergus was my son or grandson I’d want him to have a horse like Ballincoola.”
