The Heart of a Horse
This true story is about a young girl named Gentry Pickett and the
relationship she developed with a horse
named Red Hot N Luvin it AKA Willie.
Willie was born in Folsom, Louisiana with crooked front legs. Ironically
he was born on Gentry's birthday.
Over the course of his young years he
was sent to 2 different trainers
and returned home.
When hurricane Rita struck Lake Charles, the owner could no longer keep
him and no one would buy a horse with
crooked front legs.
Remembering that Gentry had ridden Willie and seemed to really like him a
couple years previously, the owner
offered Willie to Gentry for free.
Gentry and Willie developed a instant relationship as she trained Willie
on her own to compete in the HUS. Gentry
says "Willie has been a great addition
to our family and is one of the
smoothest and easiest horses I've ever
ridden". Now riding with Ray (who showed
Red Hot Impulse) and Nikki Riddle this
team have climbed to heights never
dreamed or imagined by either one of
them. Qualifying for the World, winning
many circuit awards and numerous AQHA
points, Gentry says her goal is "To Win
the 2008 World in the Youth HUS before
she heads off to college". Her plans are
to take Willie with her to school and
compete in the Amateur all around.
