Noticed in the Brussels results that Nick Skelton has been riding the very talented Transmission, formerly competed by Marion Hughes as Heritage Transmission.
 
Yes, I wondered that too. Also notice he was riding a couple of others in Toronto last week. Nemo and another...does he have some sort of reciprocal arrangement with one of the US riders though whereby he part owns some of the horses over there ?
 
Will Arko be ridden/jumped at Olympia, or retired as is?.I too have noticed other horses in the results over the last few weeks.One seemed to be owned by someone Widdowson?, and the Ardencote Farm?
None of my business really, but just interested.Great that he is still riding.

No idea as to whether Arko will jump there. Ardencote Farm in Skelly's own place. Gary Widdowson owned one of his former top horses, Major Wager. He's a few years younger than me and used to compete himself. I'd hazard a guess that the lady is his wife.
