Hooney d’Arville is a grey homebred mare born in 2013. She is by Vigo d’Arsouilles out of Nooney Blue by Jet Set du Rezidal. The dam Nooney Blue was Lara’s junior horse that she then competed at the 2010 WEG. Hooney was born at the base in Arville and has only ever been competed by Lara. She says; ‘Hooney has been challenging but we never doubted her and she gave me my first 5* win in Luhmuhlen last year.’ Nooney Blue is also the dam of Lara’s 4* ride Kiarado d’Arville winner of the 8/9 yr old 4* in Strzegom last year and the younger sister La La Land d’Arville winner of the 2024 young horse 2* in Jardy.
