Colin Gaffney on Baymax, Michelle Koppin, Grace Dilger, Joanie Morris, and Alex Baugh gather at Richard Pickens’ memorial in the Kentucky Horse Park.
A special moment out of AECs, which were held this year at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. This is also the memorial place of Richard Picken, a beloved coach, mentor, husband, and friend who bravely battled cancer until his passing in August of 2022. His friends and family gathered at his memorial, which bears a plaque reading: “His happiest moments were spent preparing horses and riders to jump clear rounds on big occasions, including many at the Kentucky Horse Park.”
