Not a fan of horse racing but I can watch the Cheltenham Gold Cup race over and over and it still gets me going (and moves me) when Dessie starts pulling back the lead on the heavy going ground. A true Hero f a Horse. Great video.
he was amazing it still upsets me he had to go but im glad it was time for him to go and he cud accept it easily and may he rest peacefully we still love you!! forever and always and you will definetly be never forgotten!! xxxx thanks xxxx
All ageing people I have met and have asked about this horse have all gave the best response you can heard about most loving animal/racehorse on the planet. R.I.P Dessert Orchid. I first seen this horse on a documentary TVstation.
Very ironic that dessie nearly lost hos life in his first ever novice hurdle at kempton when he was winded for 15 minutes and seconds away from the dreaded gun and he then suddenly he rose to his feet,the rest is history, the best story of a racehorse there will ever be....incredible...legend dessie

Just so glad he died of old age like rummy i love the one where dessie is with Red Rum in the video
Is it only me that's noticed that when other horses are galloping with their ears pinned back he has his ears pricked forward.
1.19..unbelieve huge leap jump ever i seen
Dessie was my favourite racehorse, but let's face it, Timeform's figures tell the truth: Arkle 212, Dessie 187...

hehe! furry legs! =)
Old age!
