HN reader Alda, from Portugal, sent us this video of her daughter sitting tight through her horse’s exuberant celebration.

Alda writes, “I send here the link of a video with my daughter Sofia (13 years old) and her horse Visconde Sant’Ana (10 years old). They are a jump team and they are best friends but when the show goes well and the music starts…Visconde loves to be the centre of attention…”

Here it is:

Well played, Sofia! You just sat back, stayed calm, kept your eyes up and your heels down, and rode it out like a pro. You are a gifted young rider–please stay in touch because we see bright things in your future!
