Grand Remo is always camera-ready. If he hears the click of a shutter, his ears prick, and he assumes an attentive expression. If he were a person, he’d likely be looking for a modeling contract. Kat Fuqua’s 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood (San Remo—La Molga V) has had plenty of time to practice his poses, as he has spent his […]
