Default Aussie TB saved from slaughter becomes USEF Horse of the Year

http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/317974?mid=57

Neville Bardos was saved first from slaughter for $850 and later from a barn fire in which he was severely burned. There are comebacks, and then there's this. In the article there's a video of him at work at the Burghley Horse Trials in 2011. They hope to represent the United States as part of the Olympic team in London this year. Amazing horse.
