Is this Cwmbran’s oldest jockey?

Ronnie, aged 69
 
This is Ronnie. I chatted to him last night in the Fairwater House pub. He is 69 and has a huge amount of stories that I wish I could record.
 
But three minutes would not be enough. It took quite a bit of persuading to get him to do this audioboo. I’m so glad he agreed to talk.
 
After a second beer and a whisky he agreed to  talk about how he got involved in horses many, many years ago. This led on to how he rode a horse just two months ago! He also listed all of the bones he has broken through horse riding.

Ronnie has invited me to go along to his male voice choir evenings and meet other local characters.  I promised to follow this up.
 
Cheers Ronnie. It was a pleasure to meet you.
