David Broome - the master of show-jumping. Great video of this genius of the show jumping world. Along with Hans Winkler, there'll never be another show jumping rider of his talent and supremacy. What a champion!

@rushyplatts - Yes, as well as a great rider David Broome is a great horseman thats means he can spot the good young horse that will go to the very top.

Sorry, but Eric Lamaze and his Number One horse Hickstead are the greatest show jumping team ever. Check out their win ratio, including the Olympics. That is not to say that David Broome is not spectacular. He is.
