My What Big Studs You Have

You might think jumping fences measuring up to 5'3" high and 6" wide to be a tough enough task. Factor in trying to have the fastest time on course while leaving all the rails in place. Then allow for visual distractions such as sponsors' banners, fence decorations, potted plants hiding sprinkler heads, Mini Coopers and Ford F350s NOT to be jumped. Add a merry crowd enjoying a catered lunch under a huge white tent set at ringside. Last, but hardly least, picture a course set on sloping terrain with a grass surface made slippery with rain. The 2009 Grand Prix de Santa Fe provided a true test of horsemanship.
