Did you breed or purchase?
Purchased from Justin Hafey and trained by Hayden Turnbull.

Best Position & Why:
Doug is a total all-rounder. Jonty mainly plays a 3 on him — he’s quick out the back, follows the ball beautifully, and when put in the 1 he has an awesome sidestep to the goal posts.

Nationals Experience:
Not his first Nationals — we’re still trying to track down exactly which ones he’s attended. (If anyone can help out let us know in the comments)

If your horse was a famous person:
Ryan Reynolds — according to Jonty, he’s “the best”

Quirkiest Habit:
Follows you everywhere — especially up and down the driveway, keeping a close eye on cars coming and going.

Biggest Achievement:
In just 8 months with the Frear family, Doug has already played for TAS, VIC, NSW, and now QLD — pretty impressive mileage!

Anything else we should know?
Doug is a true gentleman and an absolute gem of a horse. One of those rare ones that’s just a pleasure to have around.

Best of luck to Doug and Jonty as they head to the Darwin Polocrosse Nationals — keep an eye out for this superstar pairing!
