One very special 10-year-old gelding has been on a winning streak in the hunter ring and with each win, his prize money is donated to charity. Who is this special horse? Lafitte De Muze, a Belgian Warmblood owned by Cheryl Olsten, who lives in Pennsylvania.
Olsten, a former magazine editor, is also the author of the children’s book Big Wishes for Little Feat, published in 2020, that tells the story of a young girl who travels to Belgium and befriends a horse that shares her love of the stars. “Little Feat” is of course based on Lafitte.
The handsome hunter is ridden and shown by Amanda Steege, the duo recently made a splash at the 2021 Upperville Colt and Horse Show in June, winning the champion title in the High-Performance Hunters and a top ten finish in the $25,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby.
