Tim Stockdale makes successful return to competition
Just a couple of weeks after returning to the saddle, showjumper Tim Stockdale is back out competing.
Tim took his 2010 King George V Gold Cup winner Fresh Direct Kalico Bay to College Equestrian Centre at Keysoe yesterday (7 March) and jumped two clear rounds in the 1.30m class.
After the class Tim tweeted: “Kalico Bay jumped really well, I was a bit rusty though.”
Tim broke his neck in three places in a fall from a horse he was trying in October last year. He was out of the saddle for four months.
