Hwin, named after a talking mare in The Chronicles of Narnia: A Horse And His Boy, might have been wild, but she had a good head on her shoulders. She was brave enough that Wallace could get on her in the first 30 minutes. Understandably, the young mare still had fear and anxiety issues, which required confidence-building exercises. Wallace decided that bringing the mare anywhere and everywhere would help to build that confidence. She even brought Hwin to the Special Olympics and did a demonstration after having her for only seven days. As a self-proclaimed gelding fan, Wallace, a four-star level eventer from Georgia, never though she would want to keep the 14.3 mare, but after 120 days Wallace knew Hwin had exceptional talent. Following the competition, the Mustangs are auctioned off. Wallace raised money so that Hwin could stay in training with her, and her winning bid of $2,100 kept them together. Hwin and Wallace went on to compete in preliminary level eventing, and cleared 4’6” in a bareback Puissance. The pair continue to compete to this day - a testament to their bond and Wallace's love of the Mustang breed. ⚠ Warning: Choking Hazard – Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
