Oliver Townend, meet adoring teens

A fun little video, where two teens meet eventer Oliver Townend and ask him about his roots. The theme is, you don't have to be "posh" to make it in the horse world. :-) If nothing else the video reminded me that the word posh is woefully underutilized in this country.

Grand Prix Freestyle: Haflinger

Wow, I give the rider and the horse/pony a lot of credit -- a Grand Prix freestyle that is fun and a joy to watch, on a Haflinger that is utterly adorable.  Haflingers, I'm told by folks who breed them, can be strong-willed, and this rider has total compliance from her partner. This video should stop ANY of us from complaining our own horses don't  have the conformation or uphill build to do upper level work. It can be done...
