I am not happy that Taranis has been lost. I remember that Paul Nicholls retired the horse after he proved too fragile to train. It seems irresponsible for a horse who has had two or three serious injuries to reappear as a veteran in hunter chases.
Taranis was my profile picture for a long time on here and one of my favourite horses. I loved his big donkey ears and that enormous leap he put in at the final fence of the Ryanair a few years ago. It was puissance-style!
