It was great to see Capt John back to ride out the other day. His dream is to ride in the Grand Military at Sandown this year. His riding has improved a great deal; he had had quite a bit of 1-to-1 tuition from me. John recently spent time up in Newmarket at The British Racing School and came back with videos of his riding on the gallops and schooling. I have to say he looked the best rider of the class, even though the others had already ridden in races. Unfortunately we do not have a horse suitable for him to ride at Sandown however he is desperately looking for a horse to ride so please, do get in touch if you have one. Captain John also rides out at Seamus Mullins’ yard near Amesbury.
Captain John is in The Blues and Royals currently living near Andover but is moving to Windsor to start his new role as Squadron second-in-command at The Household Cavalry Regiment. After his tour in Afghanistan he has been Aide de Camp to Lieutenant General Sir Barney White-Spunner KCB CBE, Commander Field Army. He has hunted in Sussex and Shropshire and spent time working on a hunting yard, as well as playing polo at Sandhurst he was also in the Sandhurst show-jumping team. John is hugely enthusiastic and it would be wonderful to hear from anyone who may be able to help in his quest for a ride!
