A very cute “Where Are They Now” comes to you from this weekend at Rocking Horse, one of the busier winter eventing hubs on the Ocala circuit each season. Making an appearance (and swooping up a win in the Beginner Novice with Ellie Suggs in the irons is former Lisa Barry Advanced partner Kenzo de la Roque. “Kenzo” was found in France via Karen O’Connor and Julie Ulrich, and as Lisa told Samantha Clark in 2011, he was “the best horse I’ve had thus far, he’s pretty amazing, I got very lucky.”
Now, Kenzo is happily playing the schoolteacher role, and just look at those ears as he takes this cross country just as seriously as the big tracks he used to jump with Lisa. What a champ. Click here if the Instagram video above does not display in your browser.
