WorldRides Video: The YouTube Olympics
Riding the giant 17hh British-bred Miners Frolic, Team GBR's Tina Cook won the individual bronze medal in eventing on Tuesday, and was part of the British team's bronze medal win. This eventing veteran may have won on the merits of her athletic ability and her experience and her horse's fitness and talent but after watching this little video, you may believe, as I do, that Tina has something else going for her.
The townspeople of Findon, England--and a few four-legged residents as well--patched together a video good luck message to Tina and sent it via YouTube to their favorite local Olympian.
Guess what? It worked!
Guess what else? We all get to watch it, too!
