Jimmy’s Prediction: Murry is one of my personal favorites. He has a wonderful eye on him and a cheerful interest in whatever humans ask him to do. This pair will be well placed after dressage and cross-country. If Bonnie can leave the rails up, you’ll probably see them here in this stadium at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
