Douglas Bunn, the man behind the All England Jumping Course in Hickstead, Great Britain, died in his sleep on June 16 after a short illness. He was 81.

Mr. Bunn was born on Feb. 29, 1928, and went straight from the cradle to horseback. He became an avid show jumper, and after he began work as a barrister, he was known for wearing his breeches beneath his formal wear and heading straight to the barn when a courtroom session ended.
