An “interview” with the young hunter, via his rider, Taylor Ann Adams
The 5-year-old Dutch Warmblood has won multiple Young Hunter championships in Florida
1. How does it feel to be a top 5-year-old hunter?
I don’t really understand what that means, but it makes my humans really happy so I’m happy.
2. What do you like about the hunter ring?
I like the hunter ring because it’s slow and methodical, like the way that I think.
3. What would surprise our readers to know about you?
My readers would be surprised that I require no prep to compete. I just go from stall to ring.
4. What’s life like for you at home when you’re not competing?
At home I do turnout, ride bareback, and trail ride down the back roads. My life is very simple.
5. Do you prefer the company of horses? Or humans?
I wayyy prefer humans. Horses are rude to me.
