This touching video was sent to us by Suzanne Adams shortly after the NAJYRC, but it got a bit lost in Olympics eventing mania. Now that we have a moment, this is well worth the watch– an inspiration to us all!

From Suzanne:
This video is of the fifth place rider in the 1*. Her barn mates put this together for her and it is incredibly beautiful. Let me give you an idea of who this kid – Janelle Phaneuf is…
I met her as a little kid with a 22 year old pony. Her family is not rich but support her in every way possible. She works hard, has a great attitude and never says “can’t.” What this girl has done with so little is absolutely amazing. The video takes quotes that people posted on her wall during the competition… it says sooo much.
Thank you Eventing Nation.
