Maryland 5 Star winner On Cue, ridden by the US Olympian Boyd Martin, is British-bred, from the “On” dynasty raised in Yorkshire by Alyse Clancey and her daughter Jolyse Bell-Syer (née Clancey).

On Cue, who is by the Selle Français showjumper Cabri D’Elle, is a great granddaughter of the Clanceys’ foundation mare Augermist, who Alyse competed at the top level.
