- You should start with the legendary show jumping horse called Big Ben. His original name was Winston, after Winston Churchhill. He was truly an amazing horse. Then add: Air Pilot Barra Lad And those three are all I know....sorry...I am better educated with race horses, since my grandfather made a career as a trainer. =-)
- It's impossible to give you a complete list in a forum like this one- there simply is not enough space here to include everyone. I can, however, mention some of the names I am familiar with, and there are many. They are, in no particular order: Jet Run, Nautical, Miss Budweiser, Touch of Class, Abdullah, Calypso, Judgement, Idle Dice, Heisman, Rhum IV, Gem Twist, Stroller ( who was actually a pony) Sky Rocket, Good Twist, All the Gold, Quantum Leap, Sapphire, Up Chiqui, Nos Equus, Big Ben ( from Canada) Hickstead, Milton, VIP, Daydream, and there are many, many, many more. Holystone, who was a son of the legendary Man O'War, is also on this list, as is Epic Win. Royal Kaliber, whom Chris Kappler rode to a silver medal at the Athens Olympics, is also worth mentioning. These horses all excelled at the sport, and were all famous at one time or another. Some are still living, and others have passed on from old age or injuries. Hope this helps.
