Stormy Fable (stable name `Fable’ is by Lafontaine (USA) out of Galeshula.  A Bay Thoroughbred  gelding born 25/06/1993 Fable obviously saved his talents for escorting people out in the Surrey countryside – he had 1 national hunt flat race, 4 over hurdles and 2 over chase fences with 1 point to point race, and no winnings. 

What Fable lacked in race ability he has more than made up for in popularity, consistency and hard work over the years.  He had the misfortune during one shooting season of having a dead pheasant from a high altitude hitting him on the head, but took it all in his stride.  You’d never guess Fable is nearly 20 now; he still looks amazing, with the power and speed of a horse years younger, and is lovely to ride in the sand school too - an all round superstar.
