I was trying to locate the famous picture from a few years back of the rider on the brown horse dropping down into the water jump at Kentucky, looking cool as a cucumber.
Could someone please refresh my memory on the name of the rider or horse so I can find it?
Thanks in advance. 
It definitely has to be Andrew Nicholson, he has quite a few, cool as a cucumber shots. Like the one above, hereās another!
If itās the one Iām thinking of, itās the one @LadyB posted of Andrew Nicholson on a chestnut horse whose name is escaping me.
Want to say it was from 2013-2016ish but offhand I donāt remember now.
EDIT: And then the one in the link is Nicholson on Quimbo who is a dark bay/black horse. Now Iām thinking it could be either photo as Iāve seen both make the rounds.
That was it. Thank you very much!
Although he certainly looks equally relaxed on the chestnut in the other picture. Donāt ask me how. 
Pfft just a teensy 6ā6" drop. Whoās worried?
(Total sarcasm 
I would worry 
)
He did a āWe Are High Performanceā podcast and it was fantastic.
He definitely had a calm and confident presence. Very soft spoken and seemed like a lovely human.
Yes, that was the gorgeous and talented Quimbo! (He was black, FTR 
)
Andrew is the ultimate cool customer when it comes to riding drop fences; a comment I heard at the time was: āIām not that relaxed sitting in my recliner!ā
Iām wishing I could remember the chestnutās name in the other photo as I thiiiiink years ago when I was at Rolex I mightāve been walking near some of the barns and snapped a photo of that same horse (Iāve probably lost it since) being groomed/getting a bath outside.
Did get a photo probably around 2016 of Bunnie Sexton jumping Head of the Lake because it was pouring down rain and there wasnāt much of a crowd so I was able to get right up by the ropes and get a good view.
The chestnut looks as relaxed as the rider, with those airplane ears!
Nereo.

One of my all time favorites. 
Now you have me wishing I could find my old Rolex photos to see if that was the horse I had a picture of. It was definitely one of Andrew Nicholsonās horses, think between about '14 and '16.
Might go digging through my Facebook photos as I bet I posted it there.
EDIT: Actually found the photo posted on my social media yeeears back, it was Avebury and 2014. There was a chestnut standing near him but no clue which horse that was.
Heās an obnoxious human being.
Really!!! I guess everyone isnāt how they seem on camera then.
Yup, thatās it!
I just loved that horse (swoon), 
Then again, Iām a sucker for a pretty black horse.

Unfortunately, Iāve heard that too 
Alright just ran across this opinion piece by him.
My opinion has been changed.
Honestly, that much talent deserves to be a little obnoxious. I read the article and I donāt find it offensive unless Iām just missing some major point.
The article isnāt offensive at all. Just different tone vs the podcast where he seemed like a soft enlightened individual.
Iām fine with him being obnoxious. Heās earned it.
