The last time I watched a horse going around the Training course @ Greenwood Farms in Weatherford, it was Tzigane. Yesterday, it was his look-alike son, Harry Houdini getting his first taste of what it's like to do Training level.
Rider/trainer Kristen Wertz has done a tremendous job with him and deserves a HUGE thank you from both Jimmy and I. The best-bred horse cannot compete alone, and to have a trainer/rider with the skill and sensitivity to balance incredible talent with still-developing mind and muscle is a rare thing. Kristen has done her job to perfection and Harry is now starting to pay her back. It will be fun watching this pair compete the rest of the season.
Harry has to do one more USEA recognized HT @ Novice to complete requirements for the ATA Eventing Futurity then they'll move up to Training where Kristen says she's "gonna let Scary rip". Supah!
