The Alltech National Horse Show, running from October 29 to November 3, brought competitors from around the world but Minikus continued to top the leader-board by not only winning the $50,000 Speed competition but also coming in second in the Double H Farm $100,000 Open Jumper class.

Finishing right behind Francois Mathy Jr. from Belgium in the Open Jumper class, Minikus playfully commented on his defeat, “We’ve been buddies a long time, but I don’t know who invited him here."
