Farewell Mr Bass
Just days after the loss of Michael Jung’s great eventing horse La Biosthetique Sam, we now hear that Laura Collett has also had to say farewell to her wonderful horse Mr Bass (Chuck).
“Last night I had to say goodbye. Thank you for all the memories, Chuck” says Laura on her social media “From being used for coaching the jockeys, to 7 Year Old Champion (Le Mondial du Lion 2015) to being the only horse to finish on dressage score at your first 5* for second place (Luhmuhlen 2018), to being the best cross country horse I’ll ever ride”
Let’s watch them on cross country one more time, taking second place at Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials in 2017

“I am so grateful to Piglet for being my ultimate stalwart and best buddy over the past 10 years. We have learnt together, grown together, had some incredible results and memories together. Thankyou Piglet”
