Harper & Rolo

Horse & Rider Portrait Session

MacDonald Dressage

Brookshire, Texas

"Rolo was bred to be a cow horse but decided he’d rather dance. He is a Western Dressage World Champion, an AQHA year end high point winner and a USEF Horse of The Year. He is also a wonderful friend.  I can jump on him bareback to go for a trail ride or take him to a big venue for a show, and he just takes everything in stride.   His favorite thing to do is to roll in mud, grinding it into his mane, especially right before we go somewhere. Rolo is one of the kindest horses I’ve had the pleasure to work with, and I wouldn’t trade him for the world—even though he will spook at a cone that has been in the same place for a week!"
