Jarillo, the latest up and coming superstar of Tim Price (who has been selected for the Kiwi team, AGAIN, so theres your Olympic angle), has his own Instagram account.Not just a pretty face, Jarillo (with a little help from his friends) has been sharing behind the scenes action from Aachen, and I dont know about you, but I am here for it. Now all we need is the Olympic horses to get in on the Insta action, and we can all have a (virtual) ringside seat to all the Paris stable shenanigans.U.S. Weekend PreviewGenesee Valley Hunt H.T.
