Below are pics of me and my old horse, Red Fred. He was a Show Hunter with my friend Diane before I bought him and turned him into an event horse.  I sold him before coming to Maryland; lost track of him for a little while, and lo and behold, turns out he lives fairly close to me in Pennsylvania now and is competing successfully at the Inermediate level under the name "Red Hill."
