Olsen twins was seen in Wellington recently. We hear

The National Horse Show Association of America
named
Bruce Duchossios
to the Board of Directors.
“I started showing at the National in the ‘60s at the
old Garden and in 1973 I was champion aboard Kim’s
Song,” said Bruce. “So the National was and always
will be the highlight of my riding career. I am honored to
be a part of the National Horse Show and so glad that it
has found a new home worthy of its ongoing tradition of
excellence.”
How about the mess with the
