Ringwood Lb (aka Albie) is a 14-year-old Irish Sport Horse registered gelding. Bred by Catriona Mulkere he is by the international grand prix jumper Iroko (by Pilot) out of a mare by Master Imp. He was initially produced by Georgia Bale for a season then went to Jonty Evans with who he competed in the World 7-year-old Championships at Le Lions and completed Tattersalls CIC3*. Susie gained the ride in 2018 after Jonty’s fall. Albie is described as enormous although the Lb in his name stands for Little bit as he was a very small young horse.
