Priceless was excellent on cross-country, being fast, careful, and a good jumper, with great form and scope.
He is one of the rare horses to have held both European and World team and individual titles concurrently, in addition to Cornishman V and Toytown.
After his eventing career, Priceless fox hunted with his owners, before retiring on Leng's farm.
I'd read and heard a lot about him before I ever saw him but it wasn't until the team started training together for the 1984 Olympics that I realised quite how brilliant he was.
In the flesh he looks like a very large pony, and when he wasn't fit you might have wondered if he'd be capable of Three-Day eventing.
