War of Wills winning the 144th Preakness Stakes! Photo by Isabel Kurek.
Fantastic picture.
Bodexpress was my favorite.đ´
Isabel, what a cool shot. It almost doesn't look real; its looks like a staged movie set, with everything "just so!" Well done, my friend.
Congratulations to Equiery cover subject Kaymarie Kreidel on her fabulous catch of the loose Bodexpress after the Preakness. www.paulickreport.com/news/triple-crown/meet-the-former-jockey-who-caught-bodexpress-after-a-wild...
You can read more about Kaymarieâs duties as an outrider here equiery.com/people-behind-preakness/
That happened right in front of my group and we all cheered and clapped. Very good save.
LOVE this! What I particularly love is that Preakness people are also "regular" horse people who do "horse things" other than the flat track - and The Equiery helps to illustrate that there really is no gap between, "race horse people" and "sport/pleasure horse people." We are ALL horse people, and Kaymarie Kreidel epitomizes our universal connection. Bravo Kaymarie! Bravo Equiery!
She grabbed the rein and pulled it into her chest, the proper way to catch a football! đ
You are famous!!
he was not about being caught!
