A FORMER King's horseman who raped teenage trainee instructors at a top Scottish residential riding school is facing jail.
James Christopher Armour, known as Chris, a bombardier in the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, was home on periods of leave when he raped three girl trainees - aged 17 to 19-who were living at the yard, in Fife, in the 1980s.
The school, the Dunvegan Equestrian Centre, Newburgh, was run by his stepmother Jane Armour, a highly regarded dressage judge and "trainer of trainers".
A court heard Chris Armour, now 57, served for nine years with the King's Troop, famous for taking part in Trooping the Colour and mount guard on Horse Guards Parade.
He represented Britain as an Army showjumper, and continued eventing in civilian life, in 2010 making the cover of Horse & Hound magazine.
