Sue and John Honeyball have a lifetime experience of working with horses at the highest level.

Now retired on health grounds, he has always had a real gift in getting the best out of horses. A successful National Hunt trainer, John helped to transform The Dikler from an uncooperative youngster to the horse that captured the nation’s heart when he won the 1973 Gold Cup. John has also judged at the Horse of the Year Show and the Royal Dublin Show and was Master of the Taunton Vale Foxhounds for many years.

Sue Honeyball
