Recently, prior to her top 20 performance at the FEI World Cup Final in Omaha, Nebraska, Canadian national show jumping team athlete Erynn Ballard saw the children that had come to watch the schooling taking place. She dismounted from her 10 year old gelding Hero (Otangelo × Oklund) owned by Esperanza Imports LLC and Ilan Ferder, and introduced him to them and chatted with the kids.

“I love any opportunity to introduce my horses to the world and to give kids an experience like petting and meeting my horses. It brings a different level of joy to my day!”
