I wonder how the person felt who traded him for the trail horse.

Wow, he is what thoroughbreds are all about - heart. I’m so glad he is now in the Show Jumping Hall of Fame. He richly deserves to be there. 
My favorite part of the story was when they faced their first huge oxer. He said I had my eyes closed and I think he did too.

IMO they were a well matched team, and their results showed that. Even in those days when many juniors had one horse for everything I thought Sandsablaze was special, but I am partial to small chestnuts.
