Diamond Club winners attend dramatic final of BBC Sport Relief ‘Only Fools on Horses’
July 2006
SPILLERS® were allocated tickets to the final of the BBC Sport Relief ‘Only Fools on Horses’ programme as all the horses involved in the show were fed on a diet of SPILLERS® Feeds to keep them in the best possible condition throughout their involvement the show.
As a result, SPILLERS® gave away forty tickets to lucky Diamond Club members, who were then able to go and watch the nail-biting final in person.
Jenny Falconer eventually triumphed as the Only Fools on Horses Show Jumper of the Year, but the final itself was far from predictable. Nicki Chapman cleared her initial round convincingly, but Matt Baker had everyone holding their breath after a refusal at the first fence and a fall at the last. Sara Cox, who had put in a great performance during the week, was also out of the competition after she fell at the same fence.
The votes and points combined sent both Jenni and Nicki into the jump-off. As Nicki was the only novice rider left, she may never have expected to find herself in the final jump-off, but despite this she rode out into the arena looking confident and determined. After a fence down early on, she rode a good round until she went for the joker and clipped it, knocking her score down to three points.
Jenni must have known then that glory was within her grasp. She rode clear until the final fence, where she took the easier option but still had it down. However, by that point, it didn't matter. With a score of ten, and a huge improvement in her riding over the last week, Jenni was a worthy winner.
She jumped for joy as she realised she'd done it and was presented with her trophy. Grinning, she hugged runner-up Nicki and all her fellow show jumpers. Well done Jenni and J-Lo!
"This will take a long time to sink in, I still can't believe it, and this (trophy) is going to be in my front room so anyone who comes round can see it. I'll brag about it for a long time to come!" Jenni Falconer
