A Brave Competition Full of Heart

After months of preparation, excitement, and anticipation, 17 BraveHearts veterans and one Gold Star Father competed in Fort Worth at the NYCHA Shootout Cutting this past week. This video tells the story of their journey in Fort Worth, the 18 trainers who helped them, multiple assistants in all kinds of ways, and a village of adoring fans cheering them on.

    7. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video Barbra and for all the hard work you do to get this accomplished. Bravehearts is an apt name for the riders as they show us how to be both brave and strong. Yeah Nic, he did so very well and should be proud of himself!

    8. Oh I agree with Camille! I’m SO amazed and proud of Nic-knowing that not every horse can do his job so flawlessly under different riders-and Will did a phenomenal job of quietly letting him do his thing! They were a real team!
    I’m sitting here bawling too!

    12. Thank you Barb for sharing with us!! Your passion is contagious. I followed your Braveheart adventure for start to next start. You are so kind, encouraging and generous. I loved the video, well done. I was choked up as the Vets + gold star Dad were introduced and competed. What a blessing for us to be able to journey with you. Nic was awesome!!
    God bless you, harolyn
