Thanks, Nick and Big Star - fantastic memories, not just for us Brits, but for equestrian sport lovers around the world. A broken neck for Nick, injury for Big Star, TWO gold medals at successive Olympics - truly amazing achievements. Wishing you both a happy and healthy (and possibly horny for Big Star?!) retirement; you've earned it.

[@melissacussons9033]

Purely amazing. My dream is to meet Nick in person.

[@juliantozer8799]

I love the way Micheal and Johns horses are like yes let’s go and Scott’s horse is just there like what you fools doing

Ein unfassbar tolles Pferd mit einem Reiter der es schätz was sein sein Pferd leistet. Ich habe selber einen Enkel von Big Star und würde ihn nie wieder hergeben.

[@johnpalermo2422]

Two great talents right here. Big star is incredibly smart and has a a ton of fire

[@LilianaVelascoAriza]

quite moving and Big Star showed his power! As if to say I am retiring but I'm not done!

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

I shed a tear

[@alessandrosalvi4836]

Certo senza di loro non sarà più lo stesso! Grande grande grande Nick!!! Meraviglioso Big star!

[@localfellowemo9203]

😭😭 I'm crying so hard,this man is such a legend and its like when Valero retired ,Big star and nick have done so much for British show jumping and Rio was the last comp that they performed at 😭😭 This man inspired me start showjumping and givin me so much hope for what I can do,Gonna miss seeing him compete. 😭

[@rohansrider]

He should have won SPOTY - definitely not Andy Murray who’d won it already twice. Nick deserved it more because he had a career that lasted decades and coming back after a broken neck to win two gold medals is something unlikely to be bettered. . He will be sorely missed, but nobody can go on for ever.

[@Kerros973]

Great Champions !!! we will never forget you !!!

[@clairebutton7916]

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

They should make a Film about Nick's career.

[@reequine7570]

[@catharinapeerbooms2345]

Where is the big thanks to the breeder? Cees Klaver From The Netherlands?! This is why you got a top product to achieve such top results!!!! Let’s thank him also 🎉would be nice! He is an amazing breeder with exquisite knowledge!

[@cornet959]

The National breeding bodies should be promoting the winning horses more.

[@enricomechelk4330]
