Monday afternoon diary: Truly living my dream…

Tuesday Evening Diary: After you tumble, you have no place to go but up.

Copper was a Western pleasure horse before he entered the dressage and English world. He spent the first 16 yearsContinue reading “Tuesday Evening Diary: After you tumble, you have no place to go but up.”
