Re: Thank you Douglas.
That is so sad, but what a man.
Did more for equestrian sport and SJ in particular than anyone else I can think of. RIP |

Re: Thank you Douglas.
Excellent man, did wonders for the sport. Feel so sorry for the family having to finalise Hickstead next week and in July. Think a minute's silence next week at the show is a great idea though.

Re: Thank you Douglas.
Ever since I was a child I have dreamt of coming off that bank and popping those white rails.
Thank you Douglas, I dont think any of us can express quite how much respect and affection you are held in. RIP and all condolences to the family for a great man who will be genuinely missed.

Re: Thank you Douglas.
RIP Douglas, condolences to all his family,
A great loss to the equestrian world, don't think there will be many people involved in the horse world who hadn't heard of Hickstead and Douglas Bunn

Re: Thank you Douglas.
This is very sad. Rest in Peace.
He was one of my best friends Godfather and in 2002 i was lucky enough to be invited to Hickstead and join the Bunn family for the day in their own personal little 'house/building' facing the main arena at Hickstead. It was a priveledge to meet Douglas and some of the Bunn family. Thoughts and prayers with all his family and friends. |

Huge thanks to Douglas Bunn for his tremendous contribution to British show jumping. Hickstead is an amazing legacy, it shows what can be achieved by one man's vision and determination.
