Rodney was in the gold medal-winning team at the 1989 Burghley European Championships with The Irishman II, who went on to win Badminton in 1991. The pair were also in the silver medal-winning team at the Stockholm World Equestrian Games in 1990.
In 1999 Rodney was an individual at the Luhmühlen Europeans but he and Flintstone had a fall when lying in the silver medal position. His bad luck continued at the 2000 Olympics, where he broke his ankle while riding back to the stables out in Sydney, and so missed the competition.
Now riding part Welsh Cob Langarth Darcy. Rodney has had a run of great results for 2008, finishing second in the advanced at Belton, the World Cup qualifier at Burnham Market, at Saumur and finally, in the CIC*** at Barbury Castle.
The pair were called up for 2008 European Championships at Pratoni del Vivaroin.
