Lovely cheeky little dark bay with a star and could jump a house!

He was my equine hero when I was young. We actually "met" him at the HOYS when it was held at Wembley and you could walk round the stables. He looked tiny compared to all the horses stabled round him. Was it the Mexico Olympics when he jumped with a tooth abscess and still helped the team to silver?

Yep, 1968 I think it was.

He is probably my all time fav show jumper - such guts in a small package. If you google him with Stroller and Marion Mould you can get info

Here is the only pic I found

That doesn't really look like him at all, does it? I'll go and see if I have anything

- ** looked and nothing there, sorry!

saw him jump at Hickstead and the fences made him look small as well !

the spanish link is interesting as it shows the old course plan when the bank was still at the bottom of the Hickstead arena and not in the corner where it is now (and I'm old enough to remember it moving locations ) and also shows the free public stand at the top of the arena instead of on the corner by the dry ditch where it is now - happy memories of going there with my dad in the 60s and 70s

Hope this works!
