The Laura Graves Story
This was a fun one to write about Laura Graves, an Olympic hopeful in dressage, and her crazy horse. It’s a story that will probably be a movie someday.
Will she marry an Indian?
Joe,
Several Typos in the story which were distracting…..
I thought to myself “Even Pos can’t get me interested in a story about dressage.” Wrong. I would totally watch that movie.
Matter-Eating Lad. Legion of Super Hero’s. Adventure comics, 60’s. Eats what he wants, doesn’t gain weight. (At one time was pretty round, though)
Well,I take part of that back. He wasn’t very round. That was some kid called Bouncing Boy I was remembering.
Joe, Freddie Graves contracted me to select a horse for 14 year old Laura in Holland in the late Spring of 2002. I still have the video footage of Verdades, a handsome colt by Florette out of a Dutch driving mare by Goya. He was a special foal and the Graves took my recommendation to buy him after they saw his video. Your story of how they got Verdades is quite inaccurate and he wasn’t a second choice. That said, I still remember my conversation with Freddie saying how talented her daughter was. I’m so happy for Laura. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aErd5eKhnt0 listen at minute 2 marker where Laura mentions using me to find her horse.
Respectfully,
