With their experience the rider certainly knows the horse. I was watching jumps 2 & 3, Kingpin hit two then climbed over the first of the two mushrooms, the jump judge was concerned because he left so much grease on the jump.

At least it was not due to a crash and that Mike is as OK as he can be considering what happened to his partner. <br /><br />That jump, ditch, hill, jump was one tricky combo, but, at the same time pretty fair looking.

I am horrified to hear about Mike Winter and Kingpin - I don't know him personally, but I have ridden with his wife, so I have a connection and was rooting for him. What a horrible thing to have happen. Thanks for keeping us all up to date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
