October 18th, 2025 – Adding a third FEI win to his week at Tryon International, Daniel Coyle (IRL) left Tryon Stadium on Saturday afternoon with the blue ribbon. With equine teammate Farrel (VDL Cardento 933 x Argelith Stakkato) rising to the occasion, the 2010 Dutch Warmblood gelding and Coyle bested a field of 27 competitors to claim the $31,100 Winning Round CSI 5* victory. Securing a double clear performance, Coyle and Farrel finished with a jump off time of 48.47 seconds. Aboard Lesley Martin’s Perte Totale De Res Nova (Comme Il Faut x Verdi), Andrew Bourns (IRL) also captured a double clear effort with the 2015 Belgian Warmblood stallion, marking 50.14 seconds in the jump off. Third place, with a jump off time of 51.02, was awarded to Nicolette Hirt (USA), riding Kaphira (Broere VDL Corland x Clearway), the 2015 Dutch Warmblood mare owned by Chatwood Farms LLC.
With three FEI wins on three different mounts at Tryon International, Daniel Coyle credited his consistency to surrounding himself with “good people, good horses, and trying to ride the best I can. Keep it very simple.
“I have a huge history with Farrel,” Coyle said of his longtime partner. “As a nine-year-old, we had won two World Cup [events] together.”
Though the team has enjoyed numerous wins together, Coyle and Farrel’s partnership has seen challenges as well. Coyle shared that in 2020, Farrel developed a stifle cyst that took him out of competition for some time. Since then, the team has built back up to top form. “[Farrel] has come from nothing, again, and he’s already back at the 5* level,” Coyle said. “He’s the horse of a lifetime.”
Coyle revealed that watching his competitors ride the Peter Grant and Nicholas Granat-designed track beforehand helped him build a winning strategy. “I was second to last to go, which is always a huge advantage. [My team] gave me the best plan, I tried to ride it my best, and of course, Farrel delivered again!”
