Or maybe he never rode a horse, but supported you by driving the truck and trailer, documenting every horse show moment on video, or by simply being your rock when things got tough. This touching video celebrates the dads who help their kids succeed in the show ring.

Yep, without the dad's driving them, although a lot of mom's do the driving too and cheering on! I think for the most part the really young kids have both parents cheering them on! YAY!
