When you watch Jonathan (Jock) Paget it's hard to believe he went from never riding a horse as an 18-year-old bricklayer to three-star eventer in less than two years and seventh place at the World Equestrian Games in just six years. Jock's pupil, Summer Phillips, enjoys a beer with him and learns what it really takes to be an international event rider and Olympic hope.
