National award goes to locally-trained horse 11th June 1971

Golden Batman, the pride and joy of the point-to-point stables run by Mr & Mrs Anthony Hartnoll at East Barton, Horwood, has capped a great season by winning a national award.

Golden Batman who was sired by Golden Surprise and bred by Mr Leonard Bond, of Bradworthy, was spotted in a field in Cornwall by Mr Hartnoll.  Mr C M C Hancock, a Truro solicitor and point-to-point enthusiast purchased him.
