At the 2025 Dublin Horse Show, Commandant Geoff Curran rode DHF Alliance to victory in the Speed Championship — a mare bred by Paul Douglas of Aughnacloy, Co. Tyrone, by ARD VDL Douglas out of Rosie Bee by Lux Z, and owned jointly by Jess Stallard and the Minister for Defence.
The title suits her: a mare carrying both private and state ownership, ridden by an Army officer, winning on home ground. Hand-painted by Rolf Stenberg from his own photograph, no filters or AI.
