Andrew Bon's Horse Chestnut tribute

Someone I met while writing articles for SAHracing.com was nice enough to burn me a copy of this tribute video that the Bonski made!!

I just got it this morning and I couldn't wait to play the DVD!!

My wife had to ask me a few times to wipe the tears away off my face....In fact I believe the words she used was "are you a baby or a south african man"???
Just then I believe I was in total awe of the greatest South African racehorse I had ever laid eyes on!!!

What a great tribute to such an amazing horse!!!

If we could only unearth another one like him we could perhaps begin to think about saving racing in SAf.

I believe Pocket Power has a similar following but are we doing enough to market him without impeding his racing career and his best interests?

Even if you guys have seen this video before you should watch it again and again! It is a fantastic summary of a magnificent career!

Thank you for the memories!!!!

Have u read Charls book on Horse Chestnut? A great read and to think the horse had to retire not having reached the peak of powers.

Where can one get the DVD? What about loading it onto Youtube?

Saksy,

I'll try and see if I can load it onto youtube and let you guys know.

I asked my wife to buy me the horse Chestnut book for schristmas but I'm not sure she remembered


She better have if she knows thats good for her!!!

Yeah please try an get it onto youtube... would really love to watch it!

LOL TH, obviously the Mrs dont log on to ABC.

Still get goosebumps.

I have the book but haven't seen the video. Must make an effort to get it.

Who made the DVD? was it a telly track production?

Hibs,

It was done by Andrew Bon, not sure out of this own or for the tellytubbies.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to load the entire dvd onto youtbue. It is about 41 minutes long?!?!?!?!?

Mark. Spot on my mate......If she were to see that there would be no more posts here.....she would have my fingers in a jar!!! (along with other parts of the anatomy)

Hi

Please could you let me know how to purchase this DVD?

I think it may be worth making this DVD available to purchase.
Kalahari.net has a book sale - check if the Horse Chestnut one is on too. I have it, and it's lovely!

Hi Guys

I manage Horse Chestnut and he is currently standing at Drakenstein Stud.

I have marketing DVD;s of all his wins as well as some interviews, very similar to the original one. I would be more than happy to supply to anyone that would like a copy.

Please get hold of me.

Just to update you, he covered 78 mares this season, and up until now his mares tested in foal at 92%. aS SOON AS i HAVE THE fINAL nUMBERS I WILL POST IT HERE.

Gareth
