Kevin Bacon, from Dungog in NSW, the universally appreciated international show jumper became known as the “Flying Australian”.
He decided to lend his name to our product range more than 30 years ago.
He represented Australia at three Olympic Games; Tokyo 1964 on Ocean Foam (where the finished 7th, a result which no Australian Olympic Jumping Team has bettered to this day), and then the 1968 Games in Mexico City and the 1976 Games in Montreal, both on Chichester.
Bacon then went on to win many international show jumping events including being a four-time champion at Madison Square Gardens and several Grand Prix contests in Paris and Canada.
Kevin’s manner of riding was often described as 'determined' rather than stylish. Indeed at first the American and European audiences laughed at his style but after big wins at the New York International Horse Show and Toronto Royal Winter Fair in 1968 that laughter changed to admiration.
