Andrew Nicholson: Living the Swiss Olympic dream

*Opinion*
Andrew Nicholson Andrew Nicholson

    • Andrew Nicholson, multiple Olympic team medallist and Burghley and Badminton winner, reflects on Barbury as well as sharing his thoughts on going to the Olympics as cross-country coach to the Swiss eventing team, plus his predictions on who will win the medals in Tokyo

    I WAS very pleased to win three classes at Barbury Horse Trials – the CCI4*-S with Swallow Springs and two novice sections with a pair of six-year-olds, Erin and El Platanito. It’s a beautiful venue, and I can’t imagine there’s a better place to watch cross-country.

    I also had three working pupils competing there, as well as my daughter Lily and another rider who is based with me and, as I could see everything they were doing, there was no hiding place for them!

    Andrew’s exclusive column will also be available to read in H&H magazine, on sale Thursday 22 July
