Great pics! I was struck by how much bigger the ring looks on tv than in the flesh the first time I went. A fantastic permanent venue and what a double clear from Paul to win.

Sadly wasn't there - but scheduled my competing for Sunday morning just in time to come back for The Derby on TV. Such a great competition this year - and the first to ride completely faultless - wonderful to see a (relative) unknown taking the title! And so modest too..

It always invigorates me to see the professionals showing us how it's done.

Such fabulous photos too, wow! I groomed for Jenny Cassan when she rode her first ever Hickstead Derby - it is as exciting to watch now as it was for me 10 (ish) years ago as a groom on the sideline.
