Monica Russell and One's Own Accord find success in new career together!
Congratulations to the Alberta duo - Monica Russell and One's Own Accord
One's Own Accord is a campaigner who spent 8 years as a racehorse before retiring at the end of the 2016 season. In only one season in a new career, this partnership has earned reserve championship titles in the English Pleasure, Equitation and Hunter Divisions of the Thoroughbred Incentive Program Performance Awards. They also placed 4th overall for Thoroughbreds that last raced in 2016!
Monica comments that "I should also tell you I was his owner and trainer on the track. I was so fond of the old guy, he brought me back to the show ring. I couldn’t stand the thought of not having him in my life."
