Will Simpson is Golden at the LA National
The audience cheered even more enthusiastically when Will Simpson entered the arena aboard Archie Bunker to contest the $50,000 Los Angeles National Grand Prix. The 2008 Olympic gold medalist did not disappoint as he piloted Archie Bunker to one of just four clear rounds during the featured class at the LA National (Nov. 12-16).

This ring is so big compared to the European indoor arenas, but the course was as high a level." Simpson got the ride on Archie Bunker (Linda Starkman, owner) this past summer when he was showing in Europe. "I’ve always like this horse.
