Today I had the pleasure of hanging out with one of South Africa's most famous racehorses! South Africa's top earning racehorse in 2010, Pierre Jourdan, won an impressive 9 races and took a shot at the South African triple crown, coming up just short. He is such a kind hearted horse. His nickname, "The People's Horse", fits him very well. He has the heart of a champion. Good thing looks and conformation don't win races, but this horse has got the heart! I had such a wonderful time riding him when we moved him from one pasture to another. Now in his retirement, he will be babysitting the young colts and making sure they don't get into any trouble. So far, he is doing a splendid job!
He was so much fun to ride! What an honor to get to ride such an impressive horse :) Fun stuff!
