LORD MOTTISTONE CELEBRATES SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY with a ride on the horse the Germans couldn’t kill. Warrior, the 30-year-old warhorse which went right through the war without a scratch, and in 1918 won a point-to-point. Twenty years ago Warrior carried his master, then General Jack Seely, 58 miles on a wild night ride through a threatened part of France. They have been together since the horse was born, and nobody except Lord Mottistone has ridden Warrior for many years. The picture was taken at his lordship’s Isle of Wight home.
