Some songs just seem to be a natural fit. For example, 14-year-old Jordan Donnelly, Aubrey, Texas,
charmed the crowd two years ago when she rode Hollywood All Star to the tune,
“Hey Now, You’re an All Star,” which some might recognize as the theme song to the movie Shrek.
In December, just six months after colic surgery, the 9-year-old gelding (Hollywood Dun It x Judy Elderberry x Elderberry Ace) was back in the arena dancing with Donnelly again to the tune, “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now).” Jordan’s mom suggested the music after watching the show
So You Think You Can Dance. Dancing is something Donnelly admits she loves to do, despite feeling a bit self-conscious when she gets in front of a large crowd on horseback.
“My mom and dad are mainly the ones who come and watch me ride. They help me practice my routine and offer suggestions,” she said. Still, this young lady thinks its fun to be creative and enjoys playing to the
crowd.
“The costume is part of the creativity,” Donnelly insisted. “It makes it fun.” Donnelly wore a leotard and headband and dolled up Hollywood All Star in ’80s-style disco glitter for “Everybody Dance Now.” |

All Star after the gelding recovered from colic surgery, riding
