Here is how she remembers Rev. “He was great and how I found him, this girl had just gone to playdays
with him and hadn’t done much with him. But her brother brought him to the Junior World and in the first out he won the go round – ran one of the fastest times ever. I tried to buy him that weekend. They wouldn’t sell him but they came back the next year and he hit a barrel. So I got to buy him, and he was one of the greatest horses
I ever rode. It didn’t matter big pens, little pens it seemed he broke the arena record every time I rode him. He was very automatic.”
