December 23, 2020 by
I’ve been very lucky and grateful to have a wonderful horse like Blackfoot Mystery in my stable for the past five or six years. He’s just an unbelievable animal that has obviously taken me to my ultimate dream of competing at the Olympic Games.

In a very short period of time I was lucky to have a top placing at Fair Hill CCI4*-L, went on to win the Wellington Read more...USEA Year-End Awards
