Amazing jockey ruby walsh
From Kill, County Kildare, Rupert "Ruby" Walsh is the second child, and eldest son, of 11 time champion amateur jockey Ted Walsh and brother to top female rider Katie Walsh. Walsh won the Irish amateur title twice, in 1996/7 at the age of 18 and again in 1997/8, before turning professional. A fine amateur rider in the early years of his career, Ruby Walsh is universally recognised as one of the greatest National Hunt jockeys of all time. Through his association with trainers Willie Mullins and Paul Nicholls, Walsh has enjoyed a glittering career and has won almost every race worth winning in the world of National Hunt racing. Ruby is the winning-most jockey at the Cheltenham Festival with 56 successes to his name. He has been leading jockey at the Festival on 11 occasions. Ruby became the first jockey to ride four winners on the same day at the Cheltenham Festival when dominating on the third day of the 2017 renewal. He won the JLT Novices' Chase on Yorkhill, the Ryanair Chase on Un De Sceaux, the Stayers' Hurdle on Nichols Canyon and the Mares' Novices' Hurdle on Let's Dance. The quartet were trained by Willie Mullins. He was crowned champion National Hunt jockey in Ireland for the 12th time at the end of the 2016-2017 season with 131 winners, a tally that matched his previous best, a record he set in 2007/2008.

He is once again at the very top of the prestigious sport of international show jumping. Nick Skelton’s brilliant horsemanship is demonstrated by the fact that no other rider has won so many major competitions on so many different horses and he is as well known and popular at Olympia and Hickstead as he is at Gothenburg or Paris or Spruce Meadows
