The pony made its show debut in Denmark as a 7-year old in 2018. He was first competed by Nora Kemper but halfway through the season Caroline S Jørgensen took over the ride. She also competed his sire Dr. Doolittle.

In 2019 the pony sold to Olaf Ehrenskjöld and became the ride for Sarah-Christine Ehrenskjöld's turn, who consistently competed the pony at national level in Denmark until August 2021.

In September 2021 Doleys sold the Nielsen family for Josephine to add to her string of ponies, which included her 2020 European Championshipt team pony Dot Com and Timms My Fritz at the time.

In 2022 they competed at CDI's in Lier, Opglabbeek, Troisdorf, Aalborg and Hagen, but Nielsen got selected on the Danish team with her other FEI pony, Crimson Gold.
