David Payne's In Full Flight got me hooked. I think Duncan Howells was his apprentice at that time.

Punting wise.... it all started with Model Man and the fearless P. Lunn punting stable of the 1980's.

I doubt anyone will remember mine, but he was a horse called Hans Kerrie.

He was trained off my dad's farm by Dr Naude. He was entire and raced until he was 10 years old. He had 94 starts, 8 wins (2 in the top division) and 17 places. I thought he was the most beautiful horse I'd ever seen. I loved him so much I used to plait him up like a show horse on race days.

The assistent did the training there, and that was andres styen.
