Jill is the daughter of Bryant Gavin, the inaugural President of the Australian Stock Horse Society. Her mother Jean is the niece of Stanley Wootton, arguably the most famous thoroughbred breeder of the 20th Century in Australia. In addition Jill was a ‘jillaroo’ at the Royal Stables of HRH Prince Charles, now HM King Charles III.

Duncan Macintyre is no slouch himself. His direct ancestor was (almost) first in the Upper Hunter 200 years ago. Another renowned sire in the lineage was Donald Macintyre who introduced the sport of Polo to Muswellbrook and Scone in the early 1890s.
