Jaykayelle Swift (ASH #C2-265315)

Breeding: Jaykayelle Jet x Minstril II
Mare or Gelding: Mare
Owner: Jared & Katie Martin
Rider: Jared Martin
State Representing: Queensland
Team: Open Mixed

Homebred and built for speed, Jaykayelle Swift is exactly that — swift! Having predominantly played out the back, her blistering pace makes her incredibly dangerous in defence. When there’s a loose ball and open space, she’s in her element. She is seriously fast!

Swift is heading to her third Nationals —
Albury 2016
Perth 2018
Darwin 2026

If she were a famous person? Nick Kyrgios.
Sometimes you’re not quite sure what you’re going to get… but when she turns up, she’s very hard to beat.

Quirks? Where do we start! She’s a true Lone Ranger — not overly fond of other horses — and from the moment she’s loaded on the truck until she’s safely home again, she carries a touch of performance anxiety. She certainly keeps the team on their toes.

Self-preservation isn’t really in her vocabulary. She does nothing by halves and has never quite mastered the art of “go slow.”

Her biggest achievements include:
A Grade Best Horse & Overall Best Horse – Victorian State Championships 2016
Best A Grade Horse – Australian Polocrosse Championships 2023

A special Darwin connection too — her dam Jet competed at the last Darwin Nationals, so there’s a nice full-circle moment happening in 2026.

Keep an eye on this mare in the Open Mixed — when she fires, she’s electric.
