Each month WARHorses will post our favorite equestrian videos, treasures we find and share with the hope that they will make you feel good. This month’s collection focuses on INSPIRATION – people who go about their days quietly, routinely, unassumingly but are in fact accomplishing feats that give all of us hope.
Their Combined Age is 114 Years Old & They Totally Kick Ass
Our first video dates from 2012 but it is timeless. Shay-Lee Hadley’s 91-year-old grandmother riding 23-year-old, Captain, in a barrel race. A race they won!
Any Day that Starts like This is Gonna be a GREAT Day!
This lovely video is courtesy Road’s End Farm, Chesterfield, New Hampshire (USA). A beautiful clip featuring horses galloping across a frosted meadow one early winter morning. Be sure to have the sound on for this one.
When You Love What You Do, Keep at It
Jamaican UPS driver and part-time horse trainer, Gaston Grant, 54, was given a free race horse – a big, bossy colt that no one else wanted. On April 8, 2017, Green Gratto won the Carter Handicap. The $400,000 purse put his earnings over the million mark.
Partners, Pure & Simple
Our final video is a bit long at 5 + minutes but we promise every second is to be treasured. Aptly titled “How an old man saddles and bridles and mounts his horse”, it is a quiet portrait of communication and love. These two are priceless!
