So proud of Sara and Houman. Two years ago when they did OI @ Twin Hou was more game than precise and Sara Retired b/c she had neither the brakes nor steering needed for technical questions on course. This time she was trying a new bit and her game plan was to get him around clean but w/time penalties. She wanted him coming off course full of himself and wanting more as they continue to prep for the Rebecca Farm CCI** in July.

Here's the text I got yesterday: 7 time. Exactly the speed I wanted, and I didn't wear a watch. The bit was great, and he was so on! Had 2 jumps that were not good. All on me and my baggage about last time. But he tried his guts out! Oh I LOVE HIM!!!

This is what you dream of as a breeder. So excited for these two and the partnership they continue to build. Stay tuned, I hope to have an announcement soon!

That. That, right there, brought tears to my eyes - what an accolade Kim - and well deserved.

Thanks Fiona! I'm so proud to have bred this horse and so lucky he and Sara found each other.
