Karl Du Chateau (Smarty) - Smarty is my current Grand Prix horse and a true character. I am very excited about the coming show year as Smarty and I continue to advance in the Grand Prix. We started out the year with a good showing, competing alongside Olympic riders such as Richard Spooner, and we placed in the top ten in our first two outings.
