Anky: "I bought Bonfire when he was 2,5 years old. At that age it's difficult to see if a ho rse has talent for the Grand Prix but already then I knew there was something special about him. And special he was! Our career high-light was in 2000 in Sydney when we won the Olympic gold. Bonfire still is my favourite horse! I am very thankful that I have had hum for so many years."
