Win a piece of equestrian history
Show jumping legends Apollo and Nick Skelton
Apollo’s successes are legendary and when ridden by Nick Skelton CBE, he won the Calgary Speed Derby. The horse enjoyed many other major triumphs including individual bronze at the World Championships in Aachen in 1986, individual European bronze at St Gallen in 1987, numerous Nations Cup team wins and an appearance at the Seoul Olympics. He also had two Hickstead Derby and two Aachen Grand Prix victories.
We are thrilled to be offering horse lovers the chance to bid on several pieces of equestrian history connected to show jumping legends with both two and four feet.
The auction for a variety of goods including a saddle which was once worn by Apollo.
The memorabilia was donated by Barrie Jones, from Rhos on Sea in Wales who owned a number of top horses along with his late wife Lynda in the 1980s and '90s and wanted to donate it somewhere it could help raise money for equines in need.
