Conrad never rode Gem, only Greg, Leslie, and finally Laura. Further, Gem was never on loan to the team. Where are you'all getting this information from?!?
Hes a jerk though, he was making my friend do things to her horse that she doesnt normally do, so her horse was PISSEDDDDD and she started freaking out and bucking and my friend fell really hard =[
After Gem Twist won Ind. Sliver medal at 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, David Broome (GBR) wanted to buy him for $2,000,000 - the horse wins the medals, the jockey is only a pilot, but you have to be a good (great) pilot ;-)
okay it is joe and t.o.c and it was 1984 and the black and white is conrad riding gem in msg in 1984 when he was on loan for the national h.s .he was very young then but frank used it as an opportunity to introduce the horse to that level of classes.
Gem was incredible... saw him win the most competitive grand prix in the world (by number of entrants, Tampa, 1996) with Laura Chapot. What a performer.
I actually got to meet Gem Twist at Wellington in Flordia. He wasn't showing, he just went up ther with my aunt b/c he goes with her every year. also the ppic at o:16 was framed and hanging in his barn. So sad that he died
Sadly, the last picture is not Greg Best, it is Joe Fargis on 1986 Los Angeles Olympic Games Individual Show Jumping Gold Medal Winner, the famous mare, Touch of Class. Just FYI!!
