Henrietta Knight invited me to visit Best Mate at her yard at West Lockinge. It was a big day as he was also to be photographed for a special article in Country Life magazine.
As he was brought from the stables this wonderful horse seemed to sense that he was 'on show' and immediately you felt you were in the company of a real champion. He had the most amazing presence, he was beautifully turned out, sleek, athletic and handsome.
He was a very special horse, 3 times Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, whose tragic death brought to an early end a most glorious career. It was a great honour to have been able to paint this legend of the racing world.
He is captured here in mixed media, you may also like to view my painting of him in acrylic: Click Here
