Spencer does it again !Spencer 2
In 2009 the Gypsy Vanner gelding, Spencer, owned by Julie Anthony of Morriston, Florida, was the first Gypsy Vanner to participate in a long distance event.   In 2010 he competed once again in the Goethe Challenge Endurance Ride and beat his 2009 finish by coming in 19th in the 25 mile limited distance event.  Upon finishing the ride he received all A's from the vets for overall health and  soundness.  Spencer and Julie hope to complete in more distance events this coming year.  Spencer also finished out his year as the Florida Arena Driving Champion in the preliminary single horse division.   You can see Spencer pulling his carriage in the header on the GVHS website.
