Jumping for glory at Olympia
Daniel Neilson at the Horse of the Year Show
Hitting the fences
At 12.15pm, Daniel starts preparing Ungaro - still bearing the scars from his injuries - for the competition.

Off comes the blanket, and on go the tendon boots, earmuffs, reins, bridle and bit.

Then it is off to the arena with trainer Jason to walk the course.

Moving at speed, the pair pace between the fences, working out the stride pattern the horse should take and how tight to take the corners.
