HORSES IN THEIR BLOOD A who’s who of the Dawson family unveils multiple strands of equestrian interest. Chris Snr and his wife Rachel were sheep farmers who kept point-to-pointers and half a dozen broodmares. Chris Jnr was a talented amateur rider who partnered 133 winners in points and under Rules and is engaged to equine vet Wendy, who is on maternity leave looking after Georgina, aged two, and Rose who was born six months ago. Chris’s brother Phil is the farmer around the place, but since he met and became engaged to Gemma Darley, a physio at Jack Berry House and a daughter of former Champion Jockey Kevin Darley, his sporting habits have drifted back towards horses. Capped by England as a schoolboy rugby player he went on to become part of the Newcastle Falcons team, but is now encouraging a bit more Flat breeding at Nunstainton, an interest engendered by his future father-in-law’s involvement with Qatar Racing. Chris says: “As the number of horses around the place grew we started getting a bit of conflict with Phil, who didn’t want the fields Chris Jnr and brother Phil relax between viewings at the sales. chewed up by galloping horses. So last year we put in a circular carpet gallop and that solved the problem. There’s always a solution to problems.” Pinhooks that have proven successful include the €3,500 Another brother, John, is a Champion amateur rider with purchase of a Craigsteel gelding who won a point and was sold more than 150 winners and counting – he and his wife Alice run for £45,000, later gaining a rating of 150 while under Philip a breaking and pre-training yard in North Yorkshire – while the Hobbs’ care, and a Grand Plaisir gelding picked up for £3,600 Dawson siblings are completed by Anna, who works as racing and sold for 10,000gns after a pointing victory. Named West secretary to trainer Rebecca Menzies. End Rocker, he won a Listed Becher Chase for Alan King. Of the family’s move into thoroughbred stallions, Chris says: Of the current roster, Chris says: “It’s coincidence that we now “Mum and Dad used to send the family’s mares to local stallions have two Dancers at the stud, but on breeding they give us a like Primitive Rising and Say Primula and would occasionally strong hand. send one further afield.
