THE Portland Adult Riding Club was fortunate enough to get the chance to spend a day with one of Australia’s biggest names in equestrian history on Sunday, Barry Roycroft. 77-year-old Roycroft headed to Yarraman Park’s indoor centre on Sunday for a full day of lessons for members of the local riding club.

Roycroft is son of Bill Roycroft, a legendary Olympic equestrian representative (1960, 1968, 1976) and in 1986 he continued the tradition by representing Australia at the 1976 (showjumping) and 1988 (eventing) Olympics.
