WHEN husband and wife, Susanna Francke and Peter Cole, went to Badminton Horse Trials for the first time back in 1991, they imagined what it would be like to own a horse competing there. Little did they know that some 26 years later that dream would become a reality.

November Night (Bonnie Prince x Flagmount King), a mare they bought as a four-year-old at the Going for Gold sale, was the horse which brought them back to Badminton as owners in 2017 and, throughout her career, allowed them to experience the joy that comes with owning a five-star eventer.
