The video on The Chronicle website today was lovely, with soft, quiet aids from the rider and a pleasant way of going for the mare. Can this come back please? What a great story, too.

Amazing story of a rider succeeding with grave disabilities! And this: a horse that swings and LOOKS AHEAD instead of looking down at the ground.

I found the horse Jubilee’s movement refreshing…eg., movement of a normal horse…but I expect judged by “modern” tastes she would be given comments of “needs more uphill” in her tests. Also of note is Hartel’s use of the snaffle when she’s riding in the open field.
I looked up the mare’s breeding and she was a TB cross.
