Flint Curtis - did he used to wear a nose net?

[FestiveSpirit]

A friend and I were talking about Badminton today and she said he used to

I have no idea myself

What apart from winning Badminton today?

Yes I would say he is a fairly well known eventer....

He is also a gelding

Nose nets are not legal at FEI just BE.

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Ah ha, didnt realise that! Thanks a lot Thistle, would explain why he doesnt wear one now

It must be his sire then that I was thinking of.They all have curtis in the name.Off to have a look and see how similiar they are.

The stallion was William Curtis. a good Grade A show jumper in his day.

Think it was his other horse Topping-he definetly did, maybe you got mixed up?

Yup, my physio who events at a decent level picked him out ages ago as a sire to go with Be, adamant that it would give me a Burghley winner

.......... I did point out to him he would have to ride it though
