“In the first class on the second jump he had a small rub, but after that he jumped outrageous,” recalled Tosh. “He was really sharp and jumped beautifully. He tries hard and goes in to win every time. He always jumps really hard and high, he’s a really good show horse. He’s elegant and really fun to ride.”
