This horse gave me the best day of my life. My life has been quite simply so so much better because of this horse. He gave me everything and I have so much to thank him for. His achievements include top half finishes at Burghley twice. Top 10 placings in the British Open (old CIC***) and at numerous Advanced's. His XC record was amazing and he got double clears at Boekelo, Bramham, Burnham, placed at Barbury. He's graced the front covers of Burnham and Bramham programmes, Equestrian Life, BE Life and amazingly Horse and Hound!! But in addition to this he was a special person- a kind, tough, generous, sensitive and brave person, I adored him. He made me feel better when I was sad. I went to see him on Christmas Day the morning after Dave, my fiance was killed and I just hugged him. Just being next to his strong calm presence made me feel better. I'm sure he gave the same to his forever owners Paul and Elaine Newbert. They allowed him to get to where we did and lovingly looked after him in his retirement. I'll be eternally grateful to his special soul, and to Paul and Elaine. So sad Gingers gone and the special times he gave us now feel so much further in the past.
