and some very generous owners, without which it would not have been possible for me to have done anything at all. Some of the horses I have ridden include "Cousin Jim " brought from Doncaster Sales by Norman Moore his joint owner and myself. We took him from being just broken to competing at Badminton and Burghley; a super horse with a laid back temperament to match, probably the best cross country horse I have ever ridden. He was brought by a member of the Spanish team and went to the Olympics in Sydney but unfortunately did not compete. "Oscar" the best all round horse owned by Mrs. Henson has since been ridden by Chris Bartle and latterly by Polly Clark ."Solid Gold" owned by Jackie Nelson the first horse that managed to get to Advanced with me ."Enterprising Buck"A super good-looking horse competed well show jumping as well as horse trials.. owned by Nick and Sarah Pearson who also owned Young Winston At the same time as competing Young Winston I had a warmblood called Dschengis Khan (Herman) who did Bramham .
