Top British showjumper diagnosed with stomach cancer

Showjumper Tim Stockdale said he is “feeling ok” and hoping for the best after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer this week.

The 54-year-old rider put out a statement on his social media today (Thursday, 4 October) that he is to take a break from the saddle following his diagnosis on Monday (1 October).

Tim told H&H he had been losing weight and that although it was initially suspected he was suffering from ulcers, a doctor’s appointment this week led to his being transferred to hospital for further investigation.
