“I worked with Hunter Harrison through his involvement in the sport of show jumping and his partnership with the Winter Equestrian Festival.

"I always appreciated the input he provided as we improved our facility and our sport. Hunter always wanted the sport to succeed, and he put a lot of thought into how that could happen.

"In ‘Railroader,’ it was fascinating to read about Hunter as a businessman in the railroading world; his accomplishments are truly impressive. I enjoyed getting to know more about such a remarkable man who made such an impact in both the show jumping and railroading worlds.”
