"The wrong answer to the question"

I thought for sure I posted this before but in going back and searching posts I cannot find it anywhere.  A post on EN then posted again on Nina's story of a horse totally misreading a jump and still making it work.  Reminded me of this incredible photo of my sweet friend Mary and her horse Elvis.  Elvis completely mis read the jump but neither he nor Mary hesitated and made it work.  Not to mention made this kick ass photo!  Mary's album title on FB is, "The wrong answer to the question"  LOL love it!!

Here is the entire series.





I am sorry but aren't these two just freaking ROCK STARS!!!!
