“This horse has given me everything and more. For five years now, she has come through for me over and over and over again,” McLain Ward said. “For the horse’s record and mine, I would love to have a great individual achievement. That would be the icing on the cake. But as far as taking me to all the major dances and putting me on the medal podium, and winning a lot of grand prix classes along the way, my gratitude to her is never- ending.”
