I think it's what makes him have enough to jump as he does. Some things still startle him. He doesn't like loud noises, like applause. He's a real high energy horse. I suppose I'll show him until he tells us he doesn't want to show anymore.
Laurel is another highly successful horse.
I saw her go in the WEF in 1996 or '97, and I just fell in love with her the first time I saw her. She went like a hunter so soft and easy and careful. Even though she was only about 7 years old she went really nice. I tried her, and Hidden Creek bought her for me to show. She's been an amazing horse for us.
