All-around good human Will Coleman isn’t too busy preparing for a little thing called the Olympics to take some time out of his day to talk to a group of local pony campers!
Instructor Chanda Boylen hosted an Olympic-themed junior horsemanship clinic complete with a cross country day amongst all the other fun pony camp activities that you can think of. The camp was capped off by a visit from Will who took the time to talk to the kids, share stories, and answer their questions. Now when they watch him and Off The Record smash it in Paris in a few weeks they’ll get to say, ‘I know him!’ And that’s how you inspire the next generation.

Sponsor Corner: Is your saddle pad helping or hindering your horse? You may not put too much thought into your saddle pad, despite the color obviously, but your saddle pad can make a big difference in the comfort of your horse. A useful saddle pad has a spine that does not press down on your horse’s spine. It should curve with the curve of your horse’s back so there are no wrinkles or pressure points (we’re looking at you, baby pads). It should be made of a material that doesn’t pill, trap heat, or rub your horse’s back.
