It’s no secret that I lost my heart horse, two weeks ago today. He was just shy of 17 years and while he had been retired from upper levels for a year, I had hoped to see him out teaching bravery to more riders for years to come. Spending some time with this handsome lad helped ease a small bit of heartache as he blithely grazed, unaware of the significance of the halter he now wears.

Since she has completed Badminton six times, Sam feels it’s best for the horse to have a lighter track this year. [Former Winner Withdrawn From Badminton]
