Cockburn explained. “Me was the area manager of our hunting territory, the one who dealt with landowner relations and so forth,” for the local Warwickshire Hunt.
“He always liked to hunt what he called ‘blood-horses,’ or thoroughbreds," Cockburn added. “He liked to say that if a horse would not stand hunting hard in the Held, he had no business on the racecourse. That was what he liked best to do, breed horses to hunt and go on to race.”
Along with Cockbum’s mother, the former Anne Blaker, his father bred (and trained a number of prolific pointers in their area. Both found time to ride a number of races as well. “They both liked riding to hounds, and riding races too, but the usual order was to breed and break a horse, hunt it, race it if it had any talent, then sell it on if it had potential to go on to National Hunt racing," or the English equivalent of sanctioned steeplechasing, Cockburn said. “They like to combine the hunting and racing.”
