Grade IV para rider. I was totally blown away by him. He doesn't have the flashiest horse in the world (if he did, he'd be guaranteed a medal, someone buy that man a top horse NOW!), but for me he was by far the best rider in the grade IVs yesterday. He is completely missing a leg on one side, but his tempi changes were straight, through and so correct. You never saw him move in the saddle. He was incredible and made me feel so inspired to improve my riding. If he can do it that well without an entire leg, no bloody excuses.

Completely agree! His test was my favourite by miles too. It was just all so correct and balanced and flowing. Lovely horse, even if not the flashiest, and wonderfully ridden. We sat there in awe... :)
