“Three horses I remember”

“SEA IMAGE, who was an absolute legend.

“He wasn’t much good, but he tried his heart out every time. You could never get to the bottom of him.

“I rode Looks Like Trouble [pictured] one morning just before he won the 2000 Cheltenham Gold Cup. He was a fabulous, well-mannered horse who went through his paces with no fuss, and stood still afterwards for you to wash him down.

“The other one is Pipper, a hunter of Enda Bolger’s in Ireland. He fell back into a ditch with me, but all he wanted to do was turn around and have another go. He was the most extraordinary horse.”
