I didn't realise he was so old. I remember seeing Louise jumping him at Anglesey show the year before he went to the Olympics. Such an amazing horse. RIP

Such a super star. I was thinking about him only the other day and wondering how he was. RIP Welham

He apparently turned his hoof to veteran showing after he retired. He was such a willing winner.
