Country Music Legend - Tanya Tucker
It was David Frazier and Ravenscroft's absolute pleasure for the opportunities to to assist with special projects for the one and only, Tanya Tucker, Country Music Hall of Fame Legend. "Tanya's kindness, humor, and horse talent are on par with her amazing excellence in musical talent. It will go down as one of David's most cherished memories walking alongside Lauw, with Annika Bruggeworth, his owner on the opposite side and Ricky Cook piloting us through the back loading dock and halls of the Grand Ole Opry Convention Center out onto a red carpet the Lauw and Tanya duo deserve. With the most epic Friesian stallions of all time, with TANYA TUCKER RIDING ABOARD OUT ON TO THE STAGE OF THE GRANDE OLE OPRY!! Making this the first time a horse has ever been on this historic stage, so of course, it only makes sense that the ever evolving, dynamic Tanya, was the first in HISTORY!. The historic venue, the stallion, Country Hall of Fame Legend and the personal opportunity for David Frazier to be the first equine professional to put a horse on the Grand Ole Opry Stage. He exclusively handled the transport, care and coordination, prep and horse handling to managing the safety preparations for horse and his celebrity rider, was Ravenscroft's own, David Frazier. Despite the near 100 degrees outside, David kept the horse healthy and ready for this amazing event.
All Tanya related projects I had participated were expertly planned by Ricky Cook, and Annika Bruggeworth. Annika planned photo shoots and activities, but actually owns the stunning, friesian stallion that Tanya conducted her rides aboard. Lauw Fan E' Goengamieden better known as, "Lauw the Magnificent" is the most prolific Harness and Saddleseat, Friesian Breeding Stallion on U.S. soil! He is multi-World title is an imported First Premie, Ster Stallion celebrity, that has conquered every First Class Competition in the field multiple times. Winning against Saddlebreds, Dutch Harness Horses and other Friesians, his upright carriage sets him apart and above all others in the field. In addition to his many World Titles, he has wins at top shows throughout the United States such as the historic Lexington Junior League Horse Show and at the posh Ocala International Horse Show at the World Equestrian Center. Annika's keen eye for the finest horses identified "Lauw" as something extraordinary at his young age. She purchased, trained and developed him throughout the years. ​

For roughly two years, Annika entrusted Lauw's care, maintenance show training and excercise , and breeding management and collection into David Frazier's personal hands. David often shares the gratitude and happy stories working and caring for Lauw for those years and the time he shared getting to know Tanya, Annika, and Ricky in these wonderful memories!​
