A hero to you might be someone who has saved lives, like first responders or doctors and nurses. … I think Colleen Rutledge is one of the most mentally focused and strongest eventers in not only the U.S., but the world.” [read full post]

February 2013 Colleen Rutledge, Team Rider, http://www.mountainhorseusa.com GOALS: To be the first rider EVER to complete five four-star three-day events on the same horse. So far we’ve done Rolex ’11, Burghley ’11, Luhmühlen ’12, Pau ’12, all four completed with no penalties! Now Shiraz and I are turning our sites to the Spring 2013 Badminton CCI4*(hopefully without excessive rain)! I’m also looking forward to the 2013 Jersey Fresh CCI2* with Covert Rights. On the personal side, I’d like to cut down my book consumption to an average of 1 per day!
