Pet Connect: July 2014 Readers' Submissions

Photo detail

Grace Hecker, age 14, just finished 8th grade at Carl Sandburg and is heading to West Potomac High School in the Fall. Her horse is named Hans Solo and he is an 8-year-old "Pony of the Americas" breed. Here, Grace and Solo are competing in the Virginia Region Pony Club Show Jumping Championship in May 2014, where they qualified to compete in the U.S. Pony Club national championships in Lexington, Ky. She loves her horse and he is also very attached to her. We have had him for about 18 months. His mom died while giving birth to him and he was bottle-fed by humans, so he acts like a (very large) dog.
