Andrew Bon on an 'Iron Hoss'
Remember the chestnut flyer, Hunting Tower?
Hunting Tower
There are very few horses that exhibit his kind of mettle.
So unobtrusive and so unimposing, yet totally efficient, courageous and brave.
Enjoys his story, with two incredible careers both in South Africa and in Dubai.
It’s a story that will be told for many years to come. Click here to watch the tribute.
Thanks to Andrew Bon!
