Stroller (age 19 ) & Marion in 1971 at the Horse of the Year Show
Friday, June 13, 2014
Stroller (an Irish Pony !) bravely took on this Massive fence in the 1968 Olympic Games and nearly cleared it (he had the back bar down) only two horses at the Games cleared it. The gold medal winner Snowbound did not clear it but was his only fault. This course was the second part of the indivdual with eight fences over a Puissance type track.
