A Horsey History

 

The four legged friends that most dominated my upbringing.


The Girls.....


"Shannon"
My first pony, a 13.2hh I had for two years from when I was ten until I was twelve. Bought as a five year old, she's the horse who's thrown me off more times than any other before or since. A very sweet natured pony complete with bags of attitude.

"Mel"
15.1hh superstar and the best thing that ever happened to me. Hugely talented little mare, pictured here at our first team chase when I was thirteen.


The Boys.....


"Nico"
The current love of my life. He's a 6 year old, 16.3hh Dutch Warmblood who is rather a wuss but has the most fantastic temperament to handle. Massive amount of scope for show jumping and very careful, he needs more confidence over the fences and for me to reach the level he should compete at.


"Sam"
Okay, not a horse but the best four legged friend I have! Selectively deaf but exceedingly loyal, he likes nothing better than keeping pace with the horses out riding.
