"You're up there by two graces. The grace of God, and the grace of that horse. And if either one of them wants you off, you're OFF."   

Nicknamed "The Kid Pro" at her barn, talented sixteen year old JJ thought she could REALLY ride... until she got her fancy black warmblood Ehrenpreis! Ehrenpreis served her the lessons she needed about respect, patience, and the three evasions with a heaping side of humility. 

As JJ grew as a rider and horseman, he rewarded her with success up the levels and opportunities to study with top dressage riders in Europe.   

But Ehrenpreis delivered his most powerful lesson in Budapest in a frightening incident that almost took his life and changed JJ forever.  This episode will have you on the edge of your seat as you relive JJ's lessons learned from Ehrenpreis, the "textbook on four legs."
