The "Smiling Horse" name came from Geoff's first competition horse called Rincon. He taught Geoff much about riding and to provide treats whenever he smiled. As a loved and valued school horse he became a Schoolmaster for many students learning how to ride and jump. He had a way of knowing each students abilities and challenged them just enough while keeping them safe.
