How very helpful!
Jingles decided he wanted to help walk Erly (Erlentanz) off yesterday. I am riding this super horse while his lovely owner Sonnar Murray-Brown recovers from a broken leg. Today, we won the Grand Prix with 77%; so pleased with him and clever Jingles for all his help ?

Such a work of art ?! @batessaddles @horseware_australia #ffeequestrian @bombersbitsaus @spooksridingaustralia @kepitalia @horsemate_ @rocktapeaustralia @ariataus #kentuckyequineresearch #the10minutebox #equinebodysoul #crownequinevetservice #sallyannrobinsonequinedentist#TeamAUS #TowardTokyo2020 #WeRideAsOne #RideWithUs #ausequestrianteam
