sage horse, became the mount of a blind Israeli rider, Uri Bausha. “It was amazing to watch the way they worked together,” said Brandy Clark. “A very humbling experience. You think you have problems, then to see someone with no arms or legs get up on a horse and ride better than you could ever hope to... I have never seen such courageous people in my life. The Israelis were all war victims. Uri lost his eyesight to a land mine.” . When the Israeli dressage coach temporarily lost her voice and couldn’t direct the blind riders, the Irish team volunteered to help, even though they were competitors. They and the Clarks, who volunteered as grooms for the competition, became close friends. McDonald, it turned out, also worked with the Irish team back home. “Small world,” observed Brandy. McDonald thinks that everything happened for a purpose.
Future plans for the stable include completing training facilities for conditioning and fitting hunters and putting up additional bams. McDonald hopes to be breaking youngsters and continuing riding lessons, as well.
The Clarks also plan to trail ride and hunt with the Rappahannock Hunt and run their racers in the fall meets.
