SM Presents: Big Ben - For The Love Of A Horse

Спорт

In 2005, a bronze statue of Big Ben and Ian Millar was erected on the banks of the Tay River in downtown Perth, Ontario in tribute to the incredible career of both horse and rider. Big Ben's legacy will truly live for generations to come.
Celebrate the career of this great horse and see the bronze statue as it's made and presented.
"Where in this world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace was laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined." - Ian Millar

    Thank you for this,brought back so many great memories watching these 2 compete. I had the chance to meet them both as a young teenager and I have never forgotten it. Ian was so nice , answered every question I had ( which I had many about showjumping!) with kindness & compassion then introduced me to Big Ben.. I was in total awe, and Ben knew it! Standing in front of greatness right next to Ian Millar i looked like a little peanut compared! This big,beautiful horse snuffled my hair while I stroked his shoulder . BEST memory ever !
