I N V her.
i couldnt watch it im angry.
i love the part with the "brick house" music. they made it to the olympics but brentina was distracted and "unrideable" according to debbie mcdonald. all i could see was that she lifted her head to look at something and took maybe 3 strides off task.
Mr. Pollizi, do you get dressage now? ;)
I am so impressed... what a TEAM..the showmanship and the dedication from both horse and rider... but the part i love best is that you can tell that horse is LOVING it all !
