Memorable sporting achievement

The 2012 Rolex Kentucky CCI 4* was pretty amazing, but the first time I galloped through the XC finish flags (double clear) at Rolex in 2008 was a super feeling as well!

Whacky superstitions or traditions

A horse can never have 13 braids in their mane! Also, when toasting, if someone clinks their glass then everyone at the table must touch everyone else's glass.

Allison has been proudly sponsored by Mountain Horse since 2011.
