I should have known better! Of course the Eventing Nation can recognise a four star horse instantly from a shot of it’s behind – silly me! Thanks to Peter Atkins for sharing the answer on Facebook, this weekend’s Quiz Question Answer is indeed the super-horse HJ Hampton!
Henny right before the 2010 Alltech WEG – no white mark above his eyes
Peter also shared an interesting tidbit with me this weekend. If you watch the video of Henny from the Dressage show this past weekend you’ll see a very distinct white mark above his eye – he has one on each side, symmetrical and almost identical. Peter told me they both just appeared one day last autumn, sometime before Fairhill, he doesn’t remember exactly when, but that he saw them after galloping one day, and initially tried to wipe it off Henny’s face thinking it was sweat or bird poo! Has this ever happened to anyone else? Thanks as always for taking part in the quiz. I did get some interesting input last night of a way to stump you, and I’m mullling over whether to run with it next weekend; in the meantime – Go eventing!
