(me and The Great Red Horse, UC Ringmaster. June, 2010, photo by KJL)Here is a little taste of the UC Ringmaster chapter....
UC Ringmaster loved children and was careful and kind when they were in his company.
After he won his second World Championship, a woman and her two blonde little girls visited the show barns and asked if they could meet Ringmaster.
Les (Parker, Ringmaster's rider)took the woman and the twin little girls, who were no more than five or six years old, to see the Champion. Les opened the stall door and Ring bent his head down to greet the excited girls. He softly blew his sweet, hay-scented breath into one twin’s golden hair and rested his black velvet muzzle against her cheek. The girl visibly shivered.
“You can touch him,” Cheryl (Orcutt, Ringmaster's owner) said to the young girl, no doubt a horse-crazy girl at that.
She reached over, stroked the gentle stallion’s nose and was transformed.
“We call him the fire breathing dragon,” the girl said, her hushed voice filled with awe.
