ONE Kodak Moment that captured Chance Encounter’s character was the Instagram hit of him nudging his laughing rider Robbie Kearns during the medal ceremony presentation at this year’s FEI European Eventing Championships at Blenheim Palace.

“That’s something he used to do all time, it was like ‘Pay attention to me!’ He would just knock you over and that’s why I’m laughing so much, because I was like, ‘Of course you did that in the prize giving.’ It is just utterly charming,” said Robbie.
