Ever Ready

A chestnut mare, trained and played by Ray Harrington (Hall of Fame 1993), Ever Ready was Ray’s “war horse” on whom he depended throughout his extraordinary four consecutive wins in the U.S. Open, 1966-1969. She was awarded the Hartman Award for Best Playing pony of the Open in 1969, and also that year played with distinction in Argentina in the 1969 Cup of the Americas at Palermo.
