The third day of shooting for the Jefferson County Equestrian Park video took Robert Force and Sharon Denbro to Redmond, WA. Todd Trewin, a member of the US Olympic Team at the 1992 Barcelona Games, spoke with them about his lifelong love of horses and the opportunities this has provided him, both personally and professionally. Todd recounted that the WA State Legislature, having recognized that such facilities represented nearly 1.2 billion dollars a year of potential revenue, approved 3.5 million to begin construction and appointed him Chairman of the Authority Board for the new Washington State Horse Park under construction near Cle Elum. He said that both Oregon and British Columbia have as many as six each of these types of parks and he looks to helping Washington become a similar destination. Much of this dialogue for the camera was given as he was simultaneously training his son, Alex, in jumping techniques. He pledged his support to help get the Jefferson Park underway.
