    Thanks for the video! I don't know what I was supposed to be watching for, or how points are awarded, but I do know a beautiful horse when I see it. Congratulations again to the three of you!

    I know nothing about the art of horseback riding but I do know to win a National Championship in anything is an unbelievably amazing award I know she must be so happy and that all of her hard work has paid off not to mention what a great horse you must have

    Very cool. An accomplishment like that is years in the making. Horses are a competitive world and owner-handler-rider is quite an accomplishment. Not to mention a small fortune. Congratulations to both of you; few people ever get to experience what it is to be the best at something.
