With a show-jumping career spanning over forty years, Nick Skelton
is a legend in the equestrian world. No other rider has won so many
major competitions on so many different horses and he is as popular
at Olympia and Hickstead as he is at Aachen, Geneva, Paris and
Spruce Meadows. Skelton has competed in eight Olympic Games. He was
part of the gold medal-winning Great Britain team at London 2012
and made history by winning the individual Olympic gold medal at
Rio 2016, riding at the age of fifty-eight his beloved horse Big
Star. Nick Skelton began riding at the age of eighteen months on a
Welsh pony called Oxo. At the age of seventeenth in 1975, Skelton
took team silver and individual gold at the Junior European
Championships. He has competed many times at the European Show
Jumping Championships, winning numerous medals, both individually
and with the British team. In 1980 he competed in the Alternative
Olympics, where he helped the British team to a silver medal. He
still holds the British Show Jumping High Jump record that he set
in 1978. In 2000, Skelton was forced into an early retirement after
he broke his neck from a serious fall. But following an amazing
recovery he came out of retirement in 2002 to compete again. Now he
tells the full story of his eventful life and matchless
achievements.
