A career highlight for me 4th at the British 4 year old Eventing Championships. I rode my gorgeous Hartpury Take It 2 The Top(Monty because of all the T's in his name) I bought him out of the field as a 2 year old. He was foot perfect the entire day. Can you spot Jackie Skelton deep in thought as I clear the final XC fence. We are sure she is thinking "I wonder if he is for sale?" Since then we have people ringing up to buy him and the answer is no! Photos all by Graham who has been a bit unwell over Xmas, hope you are feeling better very soon Graham.
