We all spend so much time mired in our own respective disciplines that it can be a bit of a shock to the system to venture into another world – and it turns out that that’s the case for the superstars of equestrian sport, too, and not just us mere mortals. Ben Maher and Oisin Murphy need little introduction to keen horsey folks: Ben took individual showjumping gold in Tokyo this summer with the exceptional Explosion W, while Oisin has taken the Champion Flat Jockey title an impressive three times. But though they’re both among the very best in their fields, their disciplines couldn’t be more different – so Great British Racing decided to engage them in a swap of epic proportions.
Oisin might have had the advantage in this scenario – he competes recreationally in showjumping when his busy racing career allows – but we reckon both chaps made a jolly good go of their big switcharoo. We’re also pretty sure we’re not the only ones eyeing up Ben’s borrowed Thoroughbred as rather a nice stamp for our own sport, if anyone fancies orchestrating another kind of job swap…
