Terena Bolam" sadly on Monday we lost cracker he had colic and needed emergency surgery, but when we got him to the vets he collapsed and died, really miss him.."
Dan first met Cracker just before he appeared on The Paul O Grady show and worked with him for a couple of weeks in an attempt to vault him on a straight line. Although in practice this was achieved it was decided that it would not go in to the show on account of Crackers uncertainty of the trick at speed and the time frame available.
Daniel Fowler-Prime. " what people don't realise is that the horses are as much members of the team as the people. There is a high level of trust between all team members and with that a bond, even though Cracker only worked with us twice he will always be remembered as one of the independent Horses. "
