Leopardo (GP dressage) ... anyone remember him?

[Llwyncwn]

I am so very not worthy ... stroked him today, had me piccy took, his owner asked if I 'would mind' taking his training bandages off. I curtsied and did as I was told

I carried his training wraps around in my handbag for 2 hours. OK, Im quite sad, but his owner was wonderful and very approachable, she even told me about his turnout etc

This lady bought him 3 years (he is 17 now) ago - sold her house to do it and lives in a caravan

Thats dedication!

Watched her do Inter II and Grand Prix, up against David Pincus on Worllizter (fab). Didnt stay to see results.

If anyone is interested in seeing pics, will get OH to download later.

Yes, I remember seeing him at the BD Nationals as a Novice with Isobel Wessels and being blown away by him!

I also saw him win the Inter 1 freesyle Nationals some years later. He is gorgeous!

Henryhorn's daughter CCJ has lessons from Chris and will know Leo well.

Woohoooo

Chris was so lovely!. She was smoking a fag before she worked in, was on her own - no groom, just the guard JRT in the lorry, travelled up to Chepstow on her own. Im totally blown away by her and Leo, and all the ohers today

Am so gonna work my girlie from tomorrow

Yes I remember him from when he was with Isobel Wessels and I groomed for a GP rider they were at most of the comps we went to.
I really liked him back then, you're so lucky

Chris is lovely isn't she. HH will tell you how generous a person she is. She is training a lovely lady on our yard now as well who went into her first BD test today just hoping not to fall off, she came home with a 2nd! I think sadly alot of people think Chris tried to buy sucess with Leo but I think hes been the making of her and she deserves every success she gets.
