I think the Dunns are pretty fair when it comes to dishing out drives . Maybe Tim has been driving the horse in trials or something Often I see John sitting in the stands while others like Riley , Blair , Gavin and even Mikayla Lewis who upset them recently on Judine drive for the stable . To be honest if Tim W drove my horse instead of John I would be very happy ,
