Great Nino retires

NINO Des Buissonnets became the first of the London Olympic gold medal winning horses to retire and the 15-year-old Kannan gelding had an unforgettable send-off last Sunday afternoon after the Rolex Grand Prix prize giving ceremony. The arena party, some of whom are part of the 700 volunteers at the show, formed a guard of honour for an emotional Steve Guerdat and #FlyingNino, who had won the 2015 Rolex Grand Prix here. “It was something really special,” said Guerdat afterwards.
