Vern Habighorst of Scottsdale, Arizona must have been given a hard time this past year by his granddaughters for selling RPL My Te Cheerful to Josh Weakly because he just bought him back for them to show. "Well, yeah, they weren't too thrilled with me selling Henry, but luckily, Josh agreed to let me buy him back," Vern told GoHorseShow. "Everything has a price, and he now has a forever home, and he isn't going anywhere." |

"Splash has the combined personality of a model, athlete and dog," Jason says.
Horse showing seems to stay in your blood no
matter where you end up, especially for Amateur
competitor Jason Wanderer of Los Angeles,
California. This New Jersey native showed as a
youth on the East Coast before attending college
in Colorado, and, then, finally moving to Los
Angeles where he has lived for the past 13 years.
During all these moves and changes, Wanderer has
continued to pursue his love for
horses.
