WHAT IN THE WORLD
RAINY DAY AT MALVERN

TO
e never realize
how much we
take for granted
in this life until
something
happens that turns the world
upside down. Something so
drastic that from one moment to
the next, nothing is the way it
was before.
Such a thing happened on the
second day of the British
Nationals at Malvern this year,
when Ryan Jones, one of the
finest trainers and handlers,
suffered a fatal heart attack on
the evening of the second day.
W
He was just returning from the
breeders’ party, where he been
celebrating a successful day of
showing with friends. It
happened too fast for anything
to be done about it. He was
gone, leaving a huge Ryan-
shaped hole in the world and
throwing the Arabian horse
community into a collective
state of shock.
It still seems hard to believe.
He was only 43 years old. When I
saw the news on Facebook early
in the morning, while preparing
to leave for the showground, I
was unable to process it
Ryan Jones showing Norma (Gazal Al Shaqab x Nina) at the 2015 All Nations Cup.
