national hunt horses

[yeeharider]

just wondered who is your favourite also in CR

 

[gillianfleming]

Denman, i love him.

 

[RuthnMeg]

past NH horse has to be Red Rum for me
present NH horse - well if its grey!! - Denman and Kauto Star also spring to mind!!

 

[Nailed]

Well Ted

 

[golddustsara]

One Man was my fave - watched him at Kempton every year. Cried buckets when he died at Aintree

 

[DarkHorseB]

Master Oats
Mainly because my horse is his half brother!

 

[yeeharider]

not a denman fan myself would take kuato star to beat him anyday was asked to complie my favourite all time top 10 NH horses at the moment no 1 is Monksfield closely followed by Istabraq

 

[yeeharider]

sea pigeon, night nurse ,flakey dove and wayward lad what a line up have spent many happy hours watching them all oooohhh this is bringing back too many memories all of them enjoyable but may cause an overload!!!!!!!!

 

[marinitagsd]

It has to be my own "Mariner's Lad" who I raced at the late 80s and early 90, he won over hurdles and fences, but then again, he was my baby!
Other than that, Red Rum for his sheer determination, he wasn't much good over 3 miles though. Well done Ginger!
Arkles was another good un!

 

[hadfos]

Kauto for me

Cant wait to see how he does this season!

 

[yeeharider]

wow living the dream you must be very proud

 

[marinitagsd]

Yes he was out of Julio Mariner JM07 out of Sorbelle. I lost him due to a mistake at a certain hospital in 1993, I have never recovered him it.
Photos attached of him going over the last fence at Southwell winning by ten lengths and me hacking out a few days later.

 

[Quadro]

silver birch as it won me a rather large amount of cash in the national!!!!

 

[vicijp]

I don't have favourites, I like all jump racing.

Joe's Edge (national favourite in 2007 and won at the cheltnham festival and I think won the scottish grand national). This may have alot (everything) to do with the fact that he is currently one of my liveries and I am retraining him for dressage which he has taken to exceptionally well. Also he just an all round lovely horse with one of the best tempraments I have come across - he can be handled by kids. Really not what I was expecting from a horse that spent at least 6 years on the track .

 

[Erehwemos]

I loved Behrajan

Poor boy

Present day, I'm rather a Kauto fan, although Mum is very much in the Denman camp and has a huge, limited edition print of him on the wall in our living room

 

[TelH]

Currently Kauto Star. I see nothing apart from (heaven forbid) injury to stop him winning another King George. Also like Katchit but fear we have seen the best he has to offer already. I think he could have a nice career in the show ring though when his racing days are done.

 

[rosie fronfelen]

Persian War, Red Rum, Kauto Star- love em all really, and best job i ever had was with a national hunt yard.

 

[geraldgiraffe]

Dawn Run for the girls and Best Mate for the boys.

 

[millitiger]

Denman is absolute class and i love watching him jump.

if it was one for me to have it would be Air Force One- i think he'd make a lovely eventer!

 

[3Beasties]

Kauto and Master Minded, love them both!

(I have a signed photo of Kauto from the Gold cup, signed by Ruby, Clive and Paul - was given it for my B'day and it has pride of place on my wall)

 

[Flame_]

I love Ashley Brook and, of course, Spot the Difference.

 

[tiggerette]

Dawn Run - versatile, brave and beautiful, still the only horse to have completed the Champion Hurdle/Cheltenham Gold Cup double. So tragic when she was killed.
