Tuesday Video: Billy to Rio’s Latest Adventure

The latest chapter of the bizarre yet endearing “Billy to Rio” saga continues, with Billy’s latest Olympic attempt: gymnastics.

If you’re new to the adventures of Billy to Rio, an unusually-marked equine with big dreams of Olympic glory (yet not, apparently, in the equestrian disciplines) you can catch up on past videos here. The gist of Billy’s story is that he, like many young folks, wasn’t sure about his true life calling — but a fateful run-in with a thunderstorm left a lightning-bolt-shaped blaze on his forehead and the quest for an Olympic gold medal in his heart.

Billy’s story continues as he struggles to find the sport that will be his road to stardom. In today’s episode, he takes on gymnastics.

Billy, shine on, you crazy diamond.

Go Billy and go riding!
