PrintA. I’ve got two horses that I’ve had since they were 5 at Badminton. It’s a little bit nerve-wracking. I’m very comfortable with Kentucky. Badminton, I don’t know how comfortable I am.
If you get given an advanced horse and get told to jump it around a big course, you think it’s advanced, and it knows what it’s doing.
These two guys, Golden Hue and Master Rose, I know inside out, and I still think of them as young horses that I’m still producing. They’re 10 and 11. Golden Hue went to [the Luhmühlen CCI**** (Germany)] last year and completed. He gave me a relatively good ride, but Badminton is a different question with the crowd and the atmosphere. I’ll definitely be there to try and win it. I don’t think you get horses to that level not to be competitive and not to get ‘round.
Q. What about your own tiredness? Will you be OK straight from the airport?
A. I thrive on that sort of thing. I only sleep in November anyway.
