Doug Payne Lane Change

[MHM]

He’s already getting ribbons in the 1.50 jumper classes at WEF, so it seems to be going well.

Good decision, he has a young family and while all horse sports are a risk there’s no question eventing is another level. 2025 alone left Saffron Cresswell in a wheelchair, Liz Halliday with a TBA and poor Georgie Campbell passed away, Doug had a great eventing career, nothing to prove.

I was of the understanding that’s there’s more opportunity and prize $$$ in the jumpers.
