Richard Brabazon Rangers Lodge

With President Biden visiting Ireland this week,it seems an appropriate time to show this photo of a previous US president,Richard Nixon,meeting my father,Aubrey Brabazon’s horses on The Curragh in 1970. Tony Roberts is riding the horse in the foreground and my sister,Sally,is behind him. The horse on the right must have sensed the upcoming Watergate scandal and wanted nothing to do with Mr.Nixon!

Sub-zero temperatures,frozen pipes, frozen gallops……and yet, in bleak midwinter,there’s still a bit of magic about!
