In 2018 he won 6 events in England and Europe, including two international 2* titles and a bronze medal at the Six-Year-Old World Championships in France. Billy successfully stepped up to CCI3* level in 2019, and has yet to have a single FEI cross country jump penalty. His 2019 highlights included a second place finish at the Ballindenisk CCI3*-S and a Silver Medal at the Le Lion d’Angers Seven-Year-Old CCI3*-L World Young Horse Championships. He also received the Connaught Grant, which is given by the USEA to a horse in the U.S. seen as a potential candidate to represent Team USA on the international level. He moved up to the Advanced level in February of 2020. The future is bright for this talented horse. Owned by The Monster Partnership (Rob Desino, Chris Desino, Renee Lane, Deborah Halliday)
