Rodney Jenkins, Star of the Show-Jumping Circuit, Dies at 80

He had a feel for how horses behaved and thought, and he won more than 70 Grand Prix events before retiring to train racehorses.

Very nice article, thank you.

You’re welcome.

I like how they used pictures of him from three different decades, which helped to show his very long career.

The most recent picture is definitely the Rodney I remember. But it was fun to see the extremely young Rodney in the first one.

Rodney also got a nice write up in the Washington Post.

This is a gift link somebody else posted on Facebook, so I’m not sure if it will work.
