Sweet dreams
Happy Friday! ??Sterling may be the oldest horse in the barn BUT that doesn't mean this former eventing pony doesn't dream of winning. Thank you Standford Equestrian Team for the video.

Who remembers when hunter trials featured fences like this one?
Blast from the past. James riding a Connemara at the Ward Union HT's early 90's!! Popping out of the back of the lorry, it was a great rider frightener and caused lots of gasps, it rode very well though.
