Angelea Kelly UNTACKED | The Horse Girl TV Equestrian

We caught up with Carl Rafter just before the after party at The International Gold Cup Steeplechase. A menagerie of finely tuned equine athletes coupled with a plethora of world class jockey talents comprise just some of the days events in The Plains, Virginia.

It's come a long way from the number 57 Western Horse of the late 50s but Breyer Model Horses are still going strong and accurately capturing our equine friends.

Sgt Reckless was a thirteen hand high chestnut Mongolian mare. This tiny horse was awarded two Purple Hearts in the Korean War and saved the lives of many of her fellow Marines. She remains an inspiration to this day. New York Times Best Selling author, Robin Hutton, chats with Angelea about her journey to bring Reckless to life through the pages of her book.
Episode disclaimer: This is never before seen footage I shot at my North Carolina farm back in 2015. Long story short, the footage was deemed unusable (too blown out from the daylight outside my covered porch) and then parts of my life fell into a void so this footage was shelved. I pulled it out this past year and played around with color corrections and deem this viewable enough because it's too fantastic of a story not to share. I'm thankful to know about this an amazing little mare and I am so very thankful Robin came out to my farm for the interview!
