  • susanne.grace · What a wonderful article. Now I'm choked up! I do want to say thank you for Jim and myself for the recognition and also that there are many, many others behind the scenes that made this win possible. I wish I could name all the vets, farriers, grooms, exercise riders, friends, and family here! It's great to be appreciated. · 806 days ago ·

I congratulate you both. I would love to stop by the barn and talk with you both before ITG's next start. Can you shoot me an e-mail at jdepaolo85@gmail.com, and let me know the best way to get in touch with you? Thanks so much. · 806 days ago ·
