A former school teacher, Henrietta made an immediate impression on the world of National Hunt racing when she took out her licence in 1989. She is best known for the exploits of Best Mate, who won the blue riband of National Hunt racing, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, on three occasions. Her other stable stars include Impek, Racing Demon, Ederedon Bleu, Calgary Bay and Somersby. Henrietta and husband Terry Biddlecombe enjoy welcoming owners to their yard in Oxfordshire and mornings at West Lockinge are always entertaining.
