A fun throwback for you this morning from the Waredaca Classic Three-Day, which is happening this weekend! We all know and love Max Corcoran as one of the original #supergrooms who can be found at most major events around the world helping riders care for their horses. Max competed at this incredible event many moons again on Walk On the Moon (aka Danny, aka The Big Banana!), and none other than the great Karen O’Connor helped groom for her throughout the weekend! Check out those perfect braids! Raise your hand if you think we should stage a comeback….
