Bentley would have been a sensation as a runway model. He was stunningly handsome, moved like sunshine and had no work ethic whatsoever. He never exerted himself when good looks and charm could get the job done.

Of all the horses I have prepped for competition, Bentley was the easiest I ever presented for a jog, FEI or otherwise. There was never a hold while the panel decided whether or not to let him go. There was never a debatable moment. Oh no. If Bentley trotted out sound, you knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was, in fact, sound.
