How horrible. I hope they catch up with them and get them back. I saw Richard Meade ride at badminton and was a huge fan.

He came and gave our pony club a talk after the Olympics complete with some film footage. I was 14ish and unimpressed, I would rather he were a show jumper . Anyway, after the talk he was standing about, probably wondering how soon he could escape, and asked me if I had a pony. I said grumpily yes and and he courageously asked what it was called. I told him in a less than gracious manner and stomped off. I still have night sweats thinking about it

Harry has grinned at me a couple of times as he has galloped past at Pontispool. He seems just as lovely as his father. I hope the medals are found.

I remember him winning double gold at Munich. He was a lovely rider.
