A “fresh” Denman has been out hunting for the first time since his life-threatening illness last year.
Rider Charlotte Alexander took the 2008 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner out with the North Cotswold on Saturday (1 March).
“He was so pleased to be out, although he was rather high spirited — as can only be expected in any horse having its first day’s hunting after a break,” Charlotte told H&H.
“He jumped a couple of sets of rails and a wall and thoroughly enjoyed seeing hounds again.”
