tribute to a fantastic horse, a truly wonderful character who clearly loved his work and adored attention! love the bits of him pawing the ground just wanting to get on with it!

fantastic! you must have been a pretty good jumper :-) am jealous...my jumping leaves a little to be desired, although i think its mostly lack of practice. never really been given a chance to jump courses before, more a case of popping over one fence and that´s it :-( still, hopefully now my confidence is boosted again i´ll get into it a bit more and start doing some courses :-)

I used to show jump and we were on the circuit for several years, we also had an Arabian stud so also showed our stallions at County level, we often stayed over night sleeping in our lorries, the evenings were great fun with people getting together, riders, grooms etc, Michael Whitaker once baby sat my grooms little girl while we went off to get the beer!!!, it was a great time and lots of nice memories.

Thank you Sarah that bought back some memories, when we were on the show circuit we often ended up with our lorry parked by the Whitakers and remember him well.
