Just fantastic, so pleased for Nick Skelton, a real cool dude!

 

[OLDGREYMARE]

I always said that Nick was robbed in London..Worked for him today. Fabulous result

 

[Honey08]

Yes I thought he had it in the bag in London.

I have to say, he looks much better in his teamGB jacket than the usual red one!

 

[splashgirl45]

BRILLIANT!!!!!! i am worn out now, that was gripping.....so pleased for nick and big star

 

[Archangel]

Fabulous - well done Nick and Big Star.

 

[LeneHorse]

That medal ceremony was so emotional. What a fabulous result

 

[frostyfingers]

Damn, missed the 2nd jump off but what a fantastic result. Those jumps were enormous (what's the max height & spread) and looked so flimsy. I wonder what Big Star's stud fee will be now, it's £2.5k but surely it'll go up? Lovely, lovely horse and so beautifully ridden.

 

[Shadowdancing]

Cried xxx

 

[Zero00000]

Nicks face when the national anthem played 😢 when his bottom lip started trembling! What an achievement!

Well done Nick and Big Star, well deserved!

 

[scotlass]

If ever a horse was so appropriately named.

Fantastic result for Nick - who never lost faith that one day Big Star would win the Olympic title

 

[Kadastorm]

Such an emotional medal ceremony!

 

[sasquatch]

Nick looked like he was trying not to tear up there.

brilliant round, brilliant achievement for him.

 

[cyberhorse]

One of the best equestrian moments of all time! To see a childhood hero finally get the one that had always escaped him. Such an awesome horse and wonderful committed owners who stuck with it and did not just cash out. Excellent for the sport.

 

[numptynoelle]

Oh bless, I'm in tears (again) watching him trying to hold it together on the podium. What a man, and what a (Big) Star! :biggrin3:

 

[rhylis]

So happy for Nick and Big Star! Followed his career ever since the 80s when I would throw a temper tantrum if my parents wouldn't let me stay up to watch Olympia and horse of the year show on telly! Can't express how overjoyed I am right now!

 

[Pebble101]

Does anyone remember him on Everest Lastic? Showing my age now

 

[MotherOfChickens]

Does anyone remember him on Everest Lastic? Showing my age now
