Bret talked to GoHorseShow right after his win. “Pistol was very focused and stayed very soft throughout the class. This was his first time ever shown, so I was very proud of him. I just had to stay out of his way.”
Amateur Ali Grusha who watched the class stated, “There were great horses and the class, once again, pulled the top riders in the industry.”
