And if there’s something he’s unhappy with, he does what the French do: He goes on strike. He… ]]> Mon, 24 Sep 2012 05:43:00 -0700 http://www.gallopfrance.com/hard-way-shows-his-french-side/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/nyhorseracing/8017534916/ Flickr - NYhorseracing One of Cristophe Clements riders puts his arms around the horses neck.
