Biography

Nick is a member of countless British teams.  Among his many major wins are the Hickstead Derby and the Sprice Meadows CN Grand Prix. He is still the holder of the British High Jump record jumping a fence nearly eight foot high on Graf back in the 80's. He has survived an awful riding accident in recent years which left him with a broken neck to come back as good as ever. At the GCT of Germany recently Nick was second in the Mercedes Benz Championship of Hamburg. He made up for the near miss by wining a speed class the next day though! He was then second again in the GCT Grand Prix of Italy. Both these results were riding Carlo.
