The Yellow Earl was retired a few years ago I think. She has a nice young horse called Mattersey at one star level - they were at Tattersalls and Blair this year.

She did Badminton in 2004 with The Yellow Earl (have a lovely pic of them) but I believe she smashed a fence up and retired. I remember I have a pic of the horse being led away...
That's all I know about her!

The horse has done a few Badmintons. Yes, he broke a gate! It was the exit fence of the famous Huntsman's Close. I can remember having to wait a long time for the next horse to come as they had to repair the fence. It was a big job! Bet Virginia felt so embarrassed. Lol!
