What a list of all-time greats!
Good Mixture, Irish Cap, Custom Made - what fantastic old-format horses these were. Tough and scopey and took it to the best in the world on a regular basis.

And the people - Wow. These guys are truly the most important people in the sport and have had great impact. I rode at Freeman Farms horse trials, too, so I guess I'm biased...and it's very nice a special exception to the rules was made for one very important eventing luminary.
Rightly so, IMHO.

All very worthy, but what in heaven's name is it going to take to get Bold Ministrel in? He was truly one of a kind, since he went from Olympic eventer to USET/Pan Am Games Show Jumper. I guess that nobody wants to claim him since he wasn't the absolute best at either.
