Bred by Wyck Hall Stud, Arnie de Bugh was purchased at Tattersalls as a foal and shown in hand as a yearling and two year old, prior to going into training.  He was shown under the name I'll Be Back, but this name was already taken when he was registered for racing so he became Arnie de Burgh.

As a yearling, he was placed 2nd at Suffolk County Show in the Small Riding Horse class and the same at the Royal Norfolk Show.  As a 2 year old he was once again 2nd at Suffolk in the Small Riding Horse Two and Three year old class.  He then competed in the Sport Horse Loose Jumping Two Year Olds at the East of England Show where he beat a large class of bigger horses by impressing the judges with his style and conformation (see picture left).

One week after winning the Loose Jumping class, Arnie went into training, where for a small, inexpensive horse, he excelled.  From a total of 16 races between December 2004 and May 2006, Arnie won 3 and had one 2nd and two 3rd placings; winning nearly £10,000 in prize money.

Arnie returned home in Autumn 2006 and was presented at the 2006 SPSS grading where he was the Champion Stallion.
