Jayne McGivern’s Dash Grange Stud is making its debut at Doncaster’s Spring Store Sale, showcasing a selection of thoroughbreds that reflect her extensive experience in breeding and racing. Despite her anxiety about the sale—fearing both the possibility of no bids and the emotional toll of selling her horses—McGivern expresses confidence in the quality of her draft. She emphasizes the importance of learning through direct involvement in the sales process, believing that this experience will enhance her future consignments.
Among the horses being offered, Lot 79 is a promising gelding by Jukebox Jury, while another standout is a Nathaniel offspring with a strong pedigree linked to multiple Grade 1 winners. McGivern has applied her knowledge from producing eventers to prepare these thoroughbreds, ensuring they are well-handled and ready for market. She plans to further innovate her approach by backing her horses next year, aiming to challenge traditional sales norms.
In addition to her breeding efforts, McGivern owns the successful stallion Golden Horn, whose offspring have excelled in both flat and jumps racing. She is committed to maintaining quality in British breeding and is optimistic about Golden Horn’s future contributions. With a focus on nurturing her mares and producing high-caliber stock, McGivern is dedicated to enhancing the landscape of National Hunt breeding in the UK.
