Waiting Home was the most acclaimed horse Peggy Augustus rode during her competitive years. The chestnut Thoroughbred excelled in hunter shows, where horses are judged on manners, temperament, movement, and the elegance of their jumping style. Over the course of their partnership, the pair dominated the hunter circuit, winning numerous titles, and in one remarkable season, retiring five separate challenge trophies.

Minor pitting to the base and rim.
