Most riders aspire to have a strong bond with their horse. When a horse and rider trust and understand each other completely, amazing things can happen. Case in point: Alycia Burton and Classic Goldrush. Watch as this humbly-bred New Zealand gelding and his young rider tackle cross-country courses, bridleless jumping, and a bareback six-foot fence or two.

    Wow. First of all, I was amazed at the bond Alycia and Goldrush share. They are astounding!!
    Second, I was greatly impressed at how she used Bible verses for some of the pictures. Way to go, Alycia, I admire your witness.
