Champion jumps trainer Paul Nicholls has paid a heartfelt tribute to his landlord and mentor Paul Barber saying his life won’t be the same without him.
Barber, a dairy farmer and jumps stalwart who owned two Cheltenham Gold Cup winners trained by Nicholls, died at the weekend aged 80.
He famously made it his ambition to milk 1,000 cows and own a Gold Cup winner, a dream he completed when See More Business won at Cheltenham in 1999.
