Against the Odds

Ocala Equestrian Directory has a soft spot for the horses nobody saw coming, and Neville Bardos might be the best story in the sport.

Boyd Martin picked him up in Australia in 2002 for $850 — a horse that had already flopped as a racehorse and came with a wind-sucking habit nobody wanted to deal with. Boyd almost tried to give him back. Neville was hot, half-wild, and got loose at his very first show, bolting through the ring still in his boots and blanket. Not exactly a promising start.
But Boyd stuck with him, because nobody else would buy him. And somewhere along the way, that “half-mad” horse turned into one of the toughest event horses this country has ever seen. By 2010 Neville and Boyd were representing the U.S. at the World Equestrian Games, finishing 10th individually as the top American combination.

Then in May 2011, a fire tore through the barn at Boyd’s farm. Neville was the last horse pulled out alive, dragged by his cribbing collar through smoke and flames. His lungs were so damaged the vets weren’t sure what kind of recovery, if any, he’d have. Three months later, he and Boyd flew to England and finished seventh at Burghley — one of the hardest four-star events in the world.

Neville eventually stepped back from upper-level competition, but he didn’t slow down much. For years he taught Boyd’s working students the ropes, giving them the kind of education you can only get from a horse who’s seen it all.
