Hurdle not hurdid obvs😆

I wouldn’t be wanting the ride on CH in the Champion Hurdld if I was Nico D’Boinville that’s for sure.

Black for me x

The ground was good I think? And they were going so fast. A brutal day, 3 absolutely beautiful horses. Awful. I had 2 OG horses running...

Awful at Kempton and you have to wonder about the ground. 3 lost 😢

Yes I saw that one 😆

"Oh you silly boy, you were supposed to jump it" 🤣🥰

Unless she has had a foal before 20 is leaving it too late. Some mares foal as 4 or 5 year olds and then go on to have a ridden career...

My 1st time there was in 1983 - a very very cold and wet one! It was like Glastonbury in a monsoon. I never did get warm, or dry...

In my opinion it was the golden age of eventing. Less rider fatalities too I think.

Yes that bounce was vile. Offered plenty dunkings for the spectators

And amazing how they got back on and completed after crunching falls. And they all just wore baggy jumpers! 😆

I was probably there! On foot. That bounce into the water was a horrid fence, yet that grey hopped in sweetly. The fences look a lot...

The horses looked a lot more like very strong hunters back then. Brakes looked to be a rarity! 😆

Happy days. I’ve had a very quick scroll through bits of it and lots of memories I worked for one of the top riders for a summer in...
