Katie Dinan buys Dougie Douglas
Dec 9, 2015
AMERICAN Aga Khan winner and billionaire’s daughter Katie Dinan has been confirmed as the new owner of the record-breaking Irish Sport Horse Dougie Douglas.
The Nations Cup show jumper, who was part of the United States team that won the Aga Khan trophy in Dublin in 2014, is also the daughter of billionaire Jamie Dinan who founded York Capital Management.
Currently studying Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology at Harvard, Katherine, known as Katie on the show jumping circuit, has been riding horses since she turned four years old.
Her many successes include Grand Prix victories in the Winter Equestrian Festival, National Horse Show, Old Salem Farm, and HITS Thermal. She also placed in the 2013 and 2014 World Cup Finals aboard Nougat du Vallet.
Dougie Douglas last month set a new Irish record auction price by selling for a whopping €1.4 million at the Goresbridge Supreme Sale of Showjumpers in Co Wexford.
