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.
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.
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!
