My inspiration

Henrietta Knight

Henrietta trained Best Mate to three consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cup wins before retiring from training in 2012.

Previously an event rider — finishing 12th at Badminton in 1973 — she was chairman of selectors for the British eventing teams from 1984 to 1988. She currently breeds Connemara ponies at her stud in Lockinge, alongside judging, training pointers and pre-training jump horses.
