Thanks for posting this. I just sent it to my wife and daughter. My daughter has a good equestrian career starting and has already been involved in a contract dispute as an assistant trainer. I’m really proud of her because she’s been taking the dispute to the courts and winning. She’s learned the importance of iron-clad contracts already.
That’s a great shot of Ms. Hunter and Cradilo going over the double oxer.
Last year, my D-I-L's beloved horse, which she had bred and raised from a foal, dropped dead just after completing a Dressage exercise. An aneurysm. It was just that sudden. Years of training had gone into that horse and I can't begin to guess how many $$$. She was only about 9 years old.
