About the ACE Syndicate
The ACE Syndicate is comprised of two special horses: Charming Boy (CB) and SKM Lux Sonata.
CB is a new ride for Sinead that was purchased after Lightning V/Z was sold into the Equitation world. CB is a jaw-dropping 7-year-old dapple grey Holsteiner. He has been campaigned in Germany through the 2-star level by a husband/wife team. His sensitive personality, good looks, and light feel made him an instant match for Sinead. She has high hopes for this new partner as they have their long-term goal set on Los Angeles 2028 but for now, they are looking to get to know each other on American Soil.
SKM Lux Sonata or “Sam” is a 12-year-old Irish Sport Horse that has been campaigned by Tik for several years. Together they have been declared for Pan Am and Olympic Games for Team Canada. They have also contested the Nation’s toughest 4-stars at Land Rover Kentucky and Tryon International. Tik and “Sam” are looking forward to an opportunity to represent Canada on a worldwide stage. “Sam” has a formidable character that seems to rise to the occasion the more adversity is thrown his way. If he were a human we would be bailing him out of jail regularly for his bar brawl personality, but that edge gives him the bravado needed to be a top cross-country horse!
Community
Our mission is to grow a community of like-minded horse enthusiasts that want to be part of a high performance team. Being part of one of our syndicates is an opportunity to be part of a larger community. Monthly zoom meetings, demo evenings at the farm, and behind the scenes updates are just part of what our syndicate members enjoy.

A Shares
2 available at 35k/share
Our A share members are in the inner circle of our team here at Copperline. There is a symbiotic relationship between Sinead, Tik and this core group of owners. These members have direct access to training, competition, insights, planning and future goals that are constantly evolving in our team. Tik and Sinead can often be found reaching out to this circle for advice, support and feedback as they work their way through some exciting goals.
Both Tik and Sinead have found that each A share holder is unique in their motivation and they have enjoyed building a relationship where the member feels valued and as an intricate part of the team. Other than the inside view, these members have access to accreditation at top competitions, prize money, a vote in the syndicate’s decisions, as well as opportunities to train at Copperline.

B Shares
Sold Out
Our B share members are essential for keeping our team fresh and accessible. We created these shares as an easy access point to a world where it can be difficult to find one. Our B share holders will have access to daily training updates, competition updates and insights, as well as how future plans are evolving throughout the season.
We hope that some will enjoy the experience and jump up to be an A share member, but we are excited to share this space with those who are wanting to be part of our team without the commitment of the A share.
Testimonial from an A-share member:
“Not many people can be described as both down to earth and intensely competitive at the same time, but Tik and Sinead fit that description. We have been part of the ACE team now for a couple of years and have enjoyed every minute of it. They both bring very unique skills and backgrounds to this organization which we believe sets them up for success in this very competitive equestrian world. Not to mention, they are a lot of fun to be around.
Whether you want to be a significant contributor to an Olympic level effort or just want to contribute in a smaller way to help support the team, there are very few places an individual can go to be part of something this unique. Having access to and participating in this world with them has been educational, fun and fulfilling.”
