ITEMS RELATING TO LT COL SIR HARRY LLEWELLYN CBE comprising a silver commemorative easel plaque with portrait of 'Foxhunter' and inscribed 'Horse and Hound - 21st July 1953 White City Lt. Col. H M LLewellyn's 'Foxhunter'', a cast-metal medallion inscribed 'Chio Roma 1954', a hardback volume of 'Passports to Life - An Autobiography' and a John Board inkwash painting of Llewellyn in action at an arena. Auctioneer's Note: Sir Harry Llewellyn, 1911-99, 3rd Baronet, was a British equestrian champion, initially riding as a steeplechaser, he finished second in the 1936 Grand National and 4th on the same horse in 1937, before war intervened and in 1948 he and his horse Foxhunter competed at the Olympic Games in London, where they finished 3rd in the team event, claiming the bronze medal. Shortly afterwards they won the King George V Gold Cup at the International Horse Show and again in 1950 and 1953. Sir Harry remains the only rider to score a hat-trick of victories with the same horse in this prestigious competition. However, it was the gold medal they won at the 1952 Olympic Games held in Helsinki, Britain's only gold at the games, that would cement their reputation. Over the next decade, Harry Llewellyn and Foxhunter won 78 international competitions and Harry went on to become active in the administration of British show-jumping. In 1977 he was knighted and succeeded to the Llewellyn Baronetcy after the death of his elder brother. Provenance: by direct family descent
