• Horse: Concerto

When Linda’s daughter, Lauren, was looking for her Small Junior Hunter mount, she happened upon Concerto by chance. “We went to try a different horse originally and walked past Concerto standing in the crossties all wet after a bath,” Lauren shares. “My trainer, Diane Renihan and I fell in love with him instantly.” Concerto’s bold personality and scope make him a perfect fit for the derby courses. “He is never intimidated by anything or anyone,” Lauren says.
